"- and I'm not."I was going to add that if you didn't.
I feel like Jeanie Bueller here, but my sister got away with a HELL of a lot more than I ever did.

My sisters and I are very close. I think superficially we're not terribly similar, but we're much more similar than we look. I don't think I'm a typical oldest child, except perhaps for an overwhelming sense of personal responsibility. We're all very self-driven and independent - in that sense I think a lot like our mother and her sisters - but not in conventional ways.

I am so different I swear there must have been a mix up at the hospital. I'm one of five.
Michael you can have a few of mine, I'll give them to you free of charge.

I'm the oldest. My brother and sister are not. :)
Also, my brother plays guitar and paints and sculpts and does landscaping and has lived in Costa Rica and worked in the jungle. I can't say the same about myself.And my sister is a mommy and she's married. I'm neither. However, she's NOT an aunt. And I am! WOO! SCORE!

Frantastic Michael, now I'm down to three...any more takers? (no more boys left)
sorry, but i already have plenty of sisters. one with freckles, one with curls, one blonde. and a brother.
I am the polar opposite of my sister. She is stable and practical and makes good decisions. She has stayed in NH all her life while I've lived in many places. Our differences started early. we shared a room. Her side was always neat, mine looked disshelveled. She had good taste in clothes...me, well lets just say I usually let someone else pick out any new clothes I buy. I spent all my time studying or reading. She read but went out and enjoyed life. I was shy. She was popular. Night and day, we were and still are in many ways. One thing in common: we both love our children, remember the good times growing up and the bad times. We are the only ones to remember our childhood now. We both still love to read and share many of the same authors. She frequently gives me books she has read and does not wish to keep. We give each other advice. But she was a Rock while I was going through my 1st divorce and told me He was not going to stop hitting me and the only way to stop it was to leave him. Tough love indeed. No, we may be night and day (I'm night, she is day), but sisters forever.

My brother and I have the same voice. I swear, even our mother can't tell us apart on the phone.
My siblings are quite a bit older than me (10 and 14 years) and they both moved out before they were 18, so I never really got to live with them.Maybe that is a partial reason in regard to why we are all drastically different people. My sister is ultra sophisticated career woman (and single, although she's still smoking hot), and my brother is "manly-man" who likes to camp, hunt, fish, etc. I'm a stay at home mom that likes to read and surf the net, heh.
I'm closer in age to my niece and nephew (6 and 7 years younger), and because of that have more of a bond with them and consider them more like my siblings.
My brother and I are polar opposites...he's a blonde, I'm a brunette...he has blue eyes, I have hazel eyes...he's a felon, my juvenile record doesn't count...he's male, I'm female...he's an asshole, I'm nice (unless you anger me, then all bets are off)...he thinks he is god, I don't believe in his god!I could go on, but do I really need to?
Males and females aren't the same? I wish someone had clued me in on this earlier.
i have three brothers and one sister. only one brother and i have the same biological dad. he seems very diff from me but prob is not. we do sound the same. when i hear myself on a video or recording i think it is chris. he is bigger than me with thick dark hair. he is a very nice guy and a great dad. he is a bit more outspoken than me. now, it is natural that my other bros and sister are different as they have diff dads. (youngest two have same dad). none of them look like me or sound like me. two are dark haired and dark eyes. all of them are at least a little bit funny (comedy) with my youngest brother jeff being the funniest by far. he is a hoot. he is also the one i am closest to.
I have one sister 8 years younger than me and another 12 years younger than me. My first sister and I have the same mom. The next sister and I have the same dad. So my sisters aren't related to each other. I've never lived with my youngest sister but I know she has some traits of mine. My stepmom tells me my sister will say something and it sounds just like me. We both whistle a lot. We both kid and play around and act like goofballs. My other sister and I lived together until I moved out at 21. We used to be really close until she turned 17. We get along still but I have trouble finding a common ground with her. She's a lot like our mom in some ways and I'm waiting to see how that plays out more as she gets older. I hope that one day we'll have a closer relationship again because we used to have a lot of fun together and laugh for hours.

What do you think? How like/similar are you to your brothers/sisters? In what ways?
All you only children, um, talk amongst yourselves.
