Do you have a sister?

MyWedding13 · May 2011

Random question, do any of you have a sister? Do you get along? Do people compare you to one another and say this one is smarter, that one is prettier etc....

How do you deal with all of it?

I have a younger sister. I am 27, and she is 19. We're both adopted, so we look nothing alike. People call us "night" and "day" She's tall, fair, and has short, straight blonde hair; I am short, olive-skinned, and have long, curly brown hair. She's a social butterfly, and I'm more reserved. She's the partier, and I'm the school nerd. I feel bad because she always gets compared to me...Your sister graduated with honors...your sister got a scholarship...blah blah...I don't want her to hate me. But yeah, we are nothing alike.

and yeah...that is a random question

I have a sister who is 2 years older and no one compares us at all. We look a lot alike and sometimes people think that we are twins.

MyWedding13 · May 2011

How does no one compare and contrast you????

jenniferacampbell · May 2011

I have an identical twin sister, so we have ALWAYS been compared to one another. We are alot alike in many ways, however, in other ways we are totally opposite. Growing up, I was always the "smart one" and she was always "the pretty one," but now, we realize that these labels never mattered. At times it was hard always being compared to one another, but now that we are older, we both feel so blessed to have always had the other one. I am lucky because I always had a friend and someone by my side. I know that no matter how mad we get at one another, she will always be by my side through anything!

I have a sister 3 years older than me.. we're similar and yet totally different

CassandraPotter · May 2011

Yes I have an older sister by about 7 years. She is turning 30 in September. No, we don't get along. People have said in front of us that I am prettier (friggin rude). She has a gorgeous face though, she is just over weight. I am shorter, brown hair, olive skin, and skinny. She is blonde, pale, and has problems with her weight. She is extremely outgoing, loud, and liberal. I am sort of shy (in person) and pretty conservative. Our views on life are completely different. It gets really hard sometimes, because she is so mean to me. I sort of came to terms that I am never going to have a good relationship with her, I still will show her respect and treat her like a person, but we will most likely never be able to "hang out" or agree on anything. One thing we do have in common is we are both pretty damn stubborn

i have an older sister who is 2 years and 2 days older then me. (both nov babies) she got married april 12th 2008 (and i was april 30th 2011)

we used to not get along, but when she got married to her H and had her baby boy (my precious nephew!) a year and a half later, her attitude completely changed. she is so much happier and easy to get along with, and shes one of my best friends

i was her MOH and she was mine.

RamonaFlowers · May 2011

I have 2 sisters, one 2 years older, one 5 years younger (My younger sister is really my 1/2 sister, but I consider my step-dad my real dad, so I rarely make the distinction), the 3 of us couldn't be any more different. We don't look anything alike and have drastically different personalities, so it's really hard for people to make comparisons.

For the most part I get along with the both of them but they don't really get along with each other-and yes, I totally have the typical "middle-child peace-keeper" personality, lol.

CassieeK · May 2011

I have an older sister. We get along (usually), but we're very different people.

[Deleted User] · May 2011

I have one younger sister. We are 6.5 years apart. She is a bit immature still, but has shown some improvement. She was my MOH and hopefully I will be her's one day. We weren't that close when we were younger due to our age differences, but we have gotten closer in recent years. I am sure we will start doing more things together since I just moved back from being 650 miles away for 2 years.

Wiscisbliss · May 2011

I have a sister who is 2 years younger. We sometimes get along... We are very different in nearly every possible way, although we do sound exactly the same.

My sister is the one who does more of the comparing than other people. Friends will say things like, "You look so different" but that is about where it ends. It is sorty of tricky to explain without writing a novel about growing up together.

HobokensFury · May 2011

I have a sister 4 1/2 years younger. No one compares us because we're night and day. As far as out relationship goes I'd say we're frienanemys. We can get along for about 2 or 3 hours withing arguing about something. But we do love each other.

Beazilla · May 2011

I have two younger sisters and our relationship is ok. We aren't close at all, but our relationship is definitely helped by all of us leaving in different cities. Frienemies is a good way to describe our relationship. We got compared when we were younger, but not now that we're adults. Unless all three of us are together, a lot of people don't think two of us individually look like sisters (if that makes sense). My middle sister and I had a coach in high school that thought we were cousins because we have the same (uncommon) last name, but don't look alike.

lyndausvi · May 2011

My sister is 13 months younger than me.

She is smarter and makes way more money than me. I've always known it, it's okay. It is what it is.

I'm the 'fun,pretty,laid-back' one.

Honestly, we compliment each other.. We are very secure in our roles in life and not concern with what the other does.

jaycee7389 · May 2011

I have one younger sister, she is 19 and we are 3 years apart. Honestly, the only people who ever compare us are our parents (which really bothers me sometimes). We look alike, except I have blondeish hair and she has dark brown. We both did very well in school, go to the same university. The only real difference between us would be that i'm more outgoing and adventurous.

We didn't get along AT ALL growing up, but once I left for college we have a better relationship. We don't really ever hang out or talk much, which makes me sad.

jemmini6 · May 2011

I have two older sisters. One is 1.5 years older and the other is 4 years older. Growing up, my middle sister and I were always closer and my oldest sister and I hated each other. But now my middle sister just irritates me (long story, but she just makes some stupid decisions) and my oldest sister and I are much closer now (she is my MOH).

I'm sure people compare us because that's just what happens with siblings. It's not necessarily a bad thing sometimes, but you just notice the differences in people.

aegrish · May 2011

I am only child. My best friends are like my sisters. We fight, make up, laugh, cry. I wish I had a true sister though

julbgordo · May 2011

I have a sister who is two years older than me. We have never really gotten along. She was a difficult person to live with growing up (my parents will admit to that as well). We always went our separate ways and currently live in different states and only see each other maybe two or three times a year at family stuff.

We are friendly with each other, but I wouldn't say we are friends.

We are also NOTHING alike, in looks or personality. I am the one that doesn't really look like my siblings, so I got a lot of the "you're adopted" growing up.

kelmal · May 2011

I have a sister who is 3 years older than me...we were at each other's throat until we were 16/19 and she is now my very best-friend in the world. She's my Maid of Honor.

Growing up she was "The Smart One" and I was "The Cute One" and it turned into a huge complex for me, where I constantly compared myself to her intellectually. I became so obsessed with how smart she was that I overlooked my own 4.0 gpa and photographic memory and suffered a complete mental breakdown junior year of college. I am just now beginning to realize that people never bothered to see past my giggles and flirtatious nature to see that I never picked up a book to study, it just came naturally. I was accepted to several ivy league colleges but attended a local state school because money was tight in my family and my older sister and brother both attended private colleges that cost $40,000+ a year. People still see me as a ditzy cheerleader with no "real" career and my sister as the extremely smart put-together one who is wildly successful. Truthfully, I am every bit as smart as my sister and in some cases blow here out of the water (I suck at math but I am a walking dictionary, she is the opposite).

Through it all, I never felt disdain for my sister, just myself. I could never hate her...she's got the biggest heart of anybody I know. And while we never talk about it, I am sure there are some hard feelings on her side with me being the party-girl who is out 5-6 nights a week.

I have one sister who is 4 years older than me. She is my BF and was blessed to have her as my sister as well:) In our years growing up sharing the same bedroom & bed, she hated me but we always were able to have fun as well with the dynamic of my parents relationship. We were like the Odd couple, she was Felix and I was Oscar.

She is smarter than I, my father always compared us, her and her H bring home more money then us, but it doesn't matter. IMO, No matter how much money you have you are always stretched. Her finacial woes are just like mine but on a bigger scale and a harder/longer fall for her if something goes way wrong.

I was envious of her growing up she was the brain child, the first born ,wore the hippest clothes and clogs, but looking back of all the resposiblity she had to care for us 3 no thank you! I had always tried my best to make it easy on her. She and I are far different on alot of things except for the love we have for each other.

My brother's tho, I am lucky to talk to them once a year.

In all honsty, we are bothing pushing that age scale higher and higher and I honestly hope I go before she does, the pain would be so immense.

annagtz82 · May 2011

I have one sister that is 3 years younger than me. Her and I get along great, she's my MOH and one of my best friends. Usually people mistake her for being the older one. I guess it's becuase she wears make up and I don't...? People usually mistake our voices on the phone. They say we sound alike. She's got a "thicker skin" than I do and was more rebellious than I was growing up. And I personally think she's prettier than I am.

I am on the right.

ReidBreiling · May 2011

My best friend is like a sister to me and yes we get along great. Aside from her, I have two sister.in.laws (brother's wives). I get along with them...one I get along way better then the other but I still love them both.

akakoli81 · May 2011

I have two sisters, and 4 step sisters.

We don't really get compared. We are different and similar all at the same time. Nothing too critical. My youngest sister gets somewhat criticized because she is not as family oriented.

My stepsisters from my dad's marriage get compared a lot ( 2 out of the 4) because they are so opposite. One has their life together and one does not at all. the one who does not have her act together, gets compared to me sometimes too since we both lived at our parents house together and I moved out and grew up and she hasn't.

The other 2 I do not see often and neither does my mom and stepdad (they only go every other weekend and I don;t live there to even see them then.) But they are quite different to in every way so I can see that maybe they would be compared.

mparwulski · May 2011

Surprised by some of the responses.

My sister is 5 years younger and my best friend. Couldn't imagine life without her. We are very alike and very different in many ways. Mom died when we were in our twenties and I think that made our bond even stronger, cuz it's just the two of us.
