How do you get on with your sisters/brothers.
My sisters staying with me for a few days, (she's watching tv at the mo) and we get on reasonably well, tho we are very different.Don't see a great deal of her as she lives in Surrey and me in Kent. But would have like to have lived closer, so we could have been more supportive of eachother, and popped in for an occassional coffee and chat.

My sister and I are really close. We don't see each other as often as we would like as we live 50 miles about, but we text, email and phone regularly.
I have just spent today with her and it was wonderful.

My sis drives me potty, but I wouldnt be without her. See her almost every day and every day she says something I dont agree with, but she's lovely and would do anything for me, as I would for her.
Sisters, sisters, there were never more devoted sisters........

I didn't see my sister for several years because of the complicated relationship we have with our mother (long story). These days we see each other more often and email every week. I enjoy her company and our time together, but I don't trust her as much as I would like to because she cannot keep a confidence.

Perry, I have PM'd you, you silly thing. You haven't offended me AT ALL, looking back at my reply I can see why you may have thought that now, it did come across a bit blunt. I was being Sarky I'm afraid, and was not upset with what you wrote one bit, I thought it was Hilarious!!
Love Snowy. xx

I have three sisters and one brother. My brother lives the furthest away and we rarely see him. My three sisters and I, though, are quite close and (because I have the most space) they come to see me quite often. In fact sister number two will be with me on Monday and Tuesday night. All four of us will be going to the Breast Cancer Charity Tea at the Grosvenor House Hotel on October 1st. This is organised by W&H every year and is just great. When we go I will have run full circle as my first post was last year when I announced we would all be going and described the four of us having shepherd's pie and champagne for dinner. The inevitable jokes (why bother with the shepherd's pie?) made us all laugh. We are all different but do have fun together. They live in Staffordshire and I live near London but I wish I lived nearer to them so that we would not have to do overnight stays but could go to each other's houses all the time.

There is only 18 months difference between me and my sister and we are as different as can be, always have been.
We don't really have much to do with each other although we don't not get on, if that makes sense.
We speak about what to get my mum for christmas and the like, and I'm even having a party at my house for my sisters birthday but there's not much else.
If we weren't sisters i doubt if we would have anything to do with each other really.
It's quite sad as I would love to be really close like a lot of my friends, going shopping together, having lunch, but it's just not to be.

No sisters, but one brother and all we have in common these days is our parents... I see him occasionally if we happen to be at Dad's at the same time but apart from that we're down to Christmas cards only these days. As Bluebella says it's a bit sad but it's the way things are.

My sister has lived in the USA for the last 25 years and I have only seen her 4 times in those years. She isn't really interested in writing or e-mails, so we speak on the phone about twice a year, so it feels like we are strangers. It doesn't usually bother me until I see friends going out with their brothers and sisters and then I feel sad. But I suppose thats just how it is and I will have to live with it.

I have 3 sisters and a brother, we are all very different to each other. I have lots of contact with one sister because we go dancing together, another keeps in fairly regular email and text contact. The 3rd sister and my brother I rarely hear from not because we've fallen out, it's just the way it is at the moment. I know, as do they, that we are only ever a call away. If needed, we'd do anything for each other.

I love my sister and couldn't imagine life without her. She lives in Melbourne and I'm currently in Edinburgh. We talk (or chat type) almost every day via skype. She came over for 2 months last summer and is coming back for 2 months from late September. She wants to spend her 50th birthday with me so we are going to Italy (with our OH's as well) for it.
We've always been very close but we are so very different in many ways which I think is a good thing.

I have a sister who is 17 years older whom i do not have a relationship.....
My Brother is a decade older and our relationship is better since he has separated from his wife.
I always wished for a Brother or Sister my own age,i really felt like a only child hence why i wanted at least two choldren close in age which is what we had :-)

Don't have a sister, only a brother who has been a trouble-maker all his life and I don't see him anymore, doubt I ever will. He has now left a wife and two children in the lurch and I see them occasionally.
OH has a brother exactly the same so not one decent sibling amongst us! I do have a female cousin who I have been very close to since the day she was born. We are seven years apart and have always looked out for one another. We don't get together as much as we would like due to busy lives etc, but see each other about once a month.
I don't agree with a lot of what she does and says and I expect she feels the same about me, but we have a very strong bond and will always be there for each other. However, I am struggling with some family dis-loyalty and betrayal that happened a few years ago which I don't think I can 'forgive and forget' I may need to forum-ise it soon to get it out of my system!!!!
