My mom has 7 siblings. Ideally she doesn't want to go to any of her siblings funerals but realistically she wants to be the one that goes to all of her siblings funerals. (self.Showerthoughts)

I have eight younger siblings (I'm the oldest). I know this feeling. My youngest just turned 11 last week. I can't imagine...

I also have 8 sibilings I'm in the middle I'm only 14 though

Having that many is exhausting, isn't it?

I never got to experience having an older sibling. What's that like?

Me and my brother have four years that seperate us. So I woukd enter freshman year, he would be graduatating. It was like threw most of school were we just didn't bond. But once I hit 18 and graduated high school my brother became my best friend in the world.

My sister is 8years older than I am and because she helped raise me we always have had a super special relationship that just grew more and more with age. We make each other laugh for hours on end. And she asked If she could name her first born after me. Which made me cry being the youngest brother and have enough respect of my sister almost a decade my elder was a special moment for me. I asked her not to because it would break my brothers heart I think. But the thought and her and my brother in law asking me was more than enough..

Tldr: it's rough in the begining but I wouldn't change having older siblings.

It's awesome that you have such a great relationship with them. The older two brothers and I used to be much closer, but as they have gotten older, moved away, and started college, we have drifted apart. That hurts, but I know we'll catch back up. My middle sister and I do not get along at all, and that is very painful since I basically raised her. But, she is her own person. Can't do anything about it. :( My other two sisters and I get along beautifully: they're awesome young women, and I couldn't be more proud of who they have become.

Thank you for sharing your experience with me. It's always nice to hear things from a different perspective.

Your more than welcome my friend. I know every situation is different and wanted to show the greatness it could be.

Or really tired of them.

We all gotta go but I'd hate to go fast. Then again I don't think it'd fun to stick around and go last. -50 cent (iirc)

No, I don't think anyone actually wants to outlive their siblings.

[–]AdvocateSaint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of all those siblings, the BEST CASE scenario involves:

-One person attending six funerals.

-One person not attending any.

Is she Catholic or did the telly keep breaking?

[–]L0nz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Simple solution; the first to die has to take the rest with them
