My dad laughs hard every single time he thinks about how he came out the bathroom looking like a ghost. I fought boys for my brother. I told off his Guidance Counselor in high school when she told him he could be a "Postal Worker" instead of going to college. I went ahead and helped him get into college. I've had nightmares about something happening to my brother and woke up sobbing and couldn't go back to sleep. I love my brother with everything in me and I can't imagine being the only child. But of course, you don't really miss what you never really knew...so I could have been perfectly fine.

With that being said, my friend has a sister that sounds like Nap above lol. They pretty much hate each other. Honestly, I feel like it is a toss up when it comes to sisters. I have one friend who literally cannot go anywhere without her sis tagging along ( they are grown women). I know of several sisters who CANNOT stand each other. I rarely see these scenarios with brother/sister or brother/brother families.
This is me with all of my siblings, but that used to happen A LOT with my twin brother. I would only go back to bed because I knew I'd scare the life out of him if he woke up to find me standing over his bed, crying and checking if he's breathing. Lol!
I've stepped back from this topic because I haven't been able to relate to any of the comments before this one. All the families in my extended family have multiple children and none of my generation have any conflict beyond what is normal. I love my siblings to death and the idea of being an only child makes my heart go cold.

Sorry! This probably hasn't helped at all!
