My only sibling, my half-brother, is 11 years older than me. He's always treated me well, has taken me out to dinner and to the movies, etc. Seeing the way he treats his girlfriend helps me to know what I want out of my own relationship and how I expect to be treated.

I was going to say "whoa, that's a really big age gap", but then I remembered that I'm 15 years older than my youngest sister.Originally Posted by Rebellious Eagle
Oh fo sho! Parents tend to parent their kids differently depending on the order of birth. You gain experience in parenting as you get more kids. It's only natural that there are some parenting things you'll do and not do as you did them with your first-born. Also, different kids just need different parenting.
And then there is in relation to your siblings, where your birth order has a whole lot to say in my opinion. You take on different roles depending on whether you're the oldest, the middle child or the youngest.
I am an only child, so I really don't know how siblings would affect you.
I make friends easily, and I don't think I'm greedy so hopefully I turned out all right.

My elder brother is a grand total of 15 years my senior. His eldest son is only 7 years my Junior. To put that in to perspective for how weird that can be. I meet a girl in her early 20s and start dating her and routinely end up having to tag a "I swear, you start masturbating to pictures of my girl and I will have to go Tyler Durden on your balls." when showing them the pictures of girls I meet. I guess my nephews are kinda like brothers I don't get to see very often. I haven't seen my brothers family in around 2 - 3 years because every time I try and get the time and money to go down for a weekend, either something comes up my end or something comes up their end. I will do this soon! I need to go for a pint with my eldest 2 nephews for a laugh.
My elder sister is 18 months my senior. Unfortunately I spend way too much time in her company, this is unfortunate because we only get along about 30% of the time. What can I say? She's closer to home and lives with my mom still so to go see my mom I end up having to see her. She has 4 children, 3 girls and 1 boy all under the age of 9.
The cracked.com article listed earlier is funny for me. all the points it makes about being gay, shorter or less intelligent are all wrong in my family. Though based on past history, will point out comment about girls loving me could be true
My brother in absence of a father (he passed away when I was only 3) has become somewhat of the father figure to me. I don't mean in the sense of telling my ass off for tit etc because he wouldn't ever do so knowing that even if he tried I'd never listen. I mean in the sense of, I learnt most of the things guys learn with their dad's from my brother. My brother for example taught me how to do stuff like shave properly and things like that. Things most guys learn from their dad's but never really think about. So I believe he definitely has shaped who I have become. My sister hasn't taught me much, apart from the kind of woman I do not want to meet and the way I do not want to live my life. We're chalk and cheese which I suspect is kinda common with siblings of such a close age range. We definitely will never turn out the same. My sister has helped me make several important decisions about life which has changed who I have dated in the past (yes, this means because of my sister some girls have gotten their asses dumped. Mostly because they come out with the whole "I want kids in the next 3 years!" which just makes me go "hellz no, live whilst you're young! Or find some other guy to be your baby daddy!" 10 out of 10 times) So yeah the whole your siblings shape you thing I'd have to agree with. My brother has made me capable as a man, my sister has made it so I will choose a better path in life. She's also shown me that no matter what girls tell me, I know I'm not a complete asshole in relationships. Ok so I'll concede that in the relationships where I have cheated I have been a complete asshole. However in any and all other relationships, I've been at worst a regular guy and at best a complete gentleman.
My older brother took all the testosterone.
Clearly xD
Well I'm the oldest so sometimes I like to take charge of situations. I can see that affecting any relationships I have.
...LMAO
pics plz we need a comparison
birth order and gender affects your upbringing directly.
A few things:
I've never had a sister and so I am tremendously motivated to want to have a daughter as a result
I don't have a sister so I am simply curious what that is like. It seems to not really matter
my perception due to previous relationships was exacerbated by my sibling's current relationships
my youngest sibling takes after me too much - he's like me on crack (the otaku part; i weeded it out of my system but he's gone full justy mode)
Got two sisters.
Have no idea how they have affected me but they must have.
I helped.
