When Jekka said helicopter it made me think of those movie scenes in which a helicopter and a big spotlight is used for a search.

Well when I say complete opposites, I don't mean in a sense like I liked sports and he didn't. He's lazy, unmotivated, still lives with my Mom, etc...
He has always been this way, has no cares in the world. If he has some extra cash, he will treat his friends out for drinks instead of paying bills he owes. Which leaves my Mom covering. This is just an example of a long list of crap I can't stand.
I'm the only child . I really wish that I wasn't. My family (parents and grandparents) were very focused on me , and not always in a good way. They expected perfection from me and constantly told me that all their hopes/dreams rest on my shoulders. I had a family member who was pretty abusive towards me, and I think life would be easier if I had a sibiling.
my twin sister is a dumb
I bet that was alot of pressure on you.
Sorry to hear that.I had a family member who was pretty abusive towards me, and I think life would be easier if I had a sibiling.
Did you wear the same colored outfits growing up?
crofl, yeah probably up until i knew better
Did you get her hand me sideways?
dont be dumb
Agreed.
I was an only child until I was 7. My sister is 19 now, married, without kids, and living in Kansas. I miss her like nobody's business. Even though she's nothing like me, loud, outgoing, tall and skinny we get along well.
When I went to visit my mom and sister in the hospital the day she was born I was wearing a sundress (it was early Spring and still kind of cold). This sundress was like the . I wanted to wear it so bad. But my grandmother, who was taking care of me, didn't know (or so I thought)...I never did get around to asking if she knew). When I walked in, wearing the sundress, my mother nearly killed me with her eyes. It was priceless.
I am 5th out of 6 in my family...all of us right around 2 years apart (25 to 33) with a set of twins mixed in . Growing up was a little crazy because there was NO privacy in the house whatsoever. I hated my little brother when I was younger, but now I'd say we're the closest.
I love all of my family, even if I'm closer to some of them than others. The craziest thing is that none of us are really alike. Sure some of share certain character traits, but we're as different as our professions...
Lawyer, PhD professor, writer/director, banker, airmen, and then another lawyer (on the opposite end of the political spectrum).
This makes for very interesting conversations when I go home to visit, and it made for a very interesting life growing up.
Gotta say...I wouldn't have it any different.
How often do your families get together? What are some family traditions you carry on?![]()
I have a brother somewhere in the world who is in his 50's, whom I've never met.
My sister died when I was 6 (she was 15).
I have another brother who is 3 years older than I am (41), who I was never particularly close to until our parents died.
Because there are so many of us and we're spread out across the country (LA, SA, DC, Buffalo), we usually get together once a year around Christmas-time or for major events.
This year my grandmother turned 80, two of my brothers are getting married and my wife and I will be having a baby...so my guess is I'll see relatively ALOT of my family in 2010.
Having multiple siblings within the same age bracket can be a pain in the ass, at times, but it's a much better alternative to being a single child. Looking back, you mostly forget the fights/arguments anyway. We always reminisce about the good times.
