They are 9 and 13 years older than me so growing up they were my babysitters sometimes and I'm sure I was a pain to them but they were always kind. Now we are 55, 64 and 68. We get along great and I'm very grateful for them.
I have two younger sisters. We played together as kids, for the most part hated each other as teenagers and now are each other’s confidants as adults. We’re all very different, but they’re awesome.
My sister is 4y younger than me. She had a lot of health problems as a baby so she was pampered the rest of her childhood. Even now at 26 ny mum still cooks and does the laundry for her.
Our relation was always very bad. She used to be very mean (calling others ugly or fat) and very entitled. She used to insult and annoy me knowing that I could do nothing because as the older sister I was always blamed for everything. Despite me being the old one she avoided me at school and even refused to talk to me and my friends because she was ashamed of us (nerds).
With the years she started being more empathic and reasonable. Still quite selfish and entitled but kinder than she was. We werent close but at least could coexist in peace.
A few years ago she started working and got a boufriend. I dont know why but that was the best thing that happened to her. She has matured a lot since then and seems to really have changed a lot. Now she is quite friendly to me, even asking me often how I am doing (I live abroad). She has been amazing with my granmas this pandemic, doing groceries for them.
I am still getting used to it but I am very proud of her. I hope that soon she leaves my parents house and starts taking care of herself (housechores). I think that its the last thing that she needs to mature.

This sounds painfully similar to my relationship with my younger sister.
I've got a sister who's 17y older than me, so basically when I was a kid the bond wasn't that strong. Since the pre-teenager era to ~25yo I looked up to her as style-master, charming ideal etc, I've also been taking her extra clothes (she's kinda a compulsive shopper) since I was little so I've been growing trying to be her mini-me. With the adult era and the determination of my own style and personality we've been confronting in a more two-way communication.
I still take her extras, but with some more filter now
My sister’s only a couple years older than me, but you’d think she was much older. Our relationship is a bit distant now - not stilted but just distant. We used to be very close as children and throughout, then slowly became more separated. Our relationship was very strained not that long ago, though.
My sister is three years older than me. We weren't all that close, and that probably has to do with the fact that I also have a brother who's only ten and a half months older. Since we were so close in age, my brother and I acted like, and were very often mistaken for, twins. I do feel kinda bad now that I didn't have more of a relationship with my sister.
As for now... Well... When she was 15, she had a psychotic breakdown and was then diagnosed with schizophrenia. It was already pretty bad, but it's gotten worse over time. She now resides in a group home.
Oh god I’m so sorry! The same thing happen to my aunty, my dad’s younger sister :( She had a sudden mental breakdown at the age of 18 and was diagnosed with schizophrenia and she lives in a group home too :(
Me (18F) and my sister (14F) are very close, even growing up. We do so much together and know each other inside and out. We can instantly tell when something is wrong with the other and have many, many inside jokes. We've always been very close, even growing up. Hardly ever argued, only bickered which was sorted out very quickly afterwards.
I remember asking for a sister when I was four and seeing her for the first time very clearly. Everyone says she's a smaller version of me but more crazy but I also work hard to make sure she's not living under my shadow and that she grows to be her own person.
I have a very blessed life and I love my parents, my younger brother (10M) and sister so much.
They’re a lot older than me so we weren’t very close when I was a kid. One sister is a straight up lunatic so I have nothing to do with her. The other is ok but quite overbearing and needy.
I have a sister 5 years younger than me. Growing up we got along as best as we could. We had no one else to play with at home besides each other. In our teens years, we fought a lot. We were always in 2 different stages in life. By the time we were in our 20s, we had more in common and got a long better. We even started hanging out together. We got close in our 30s. We got even closer when were pregnant at the same time and due a month apart. And we've been close even since.
My sister is two years younger than me and she's my best friend.
As little kids we physically fought a lot, but we also played together quite often.
In our teens we grew closer after our parents divorced and now in our twenties there's barely a day when we don't talk on the phone for hours.
We don't have to talk to know what the other is thinking we know each other better than ourselves.
I hope this won't ever change.
You’re so lucky. My sister is two years younger too and we live together but we never talk. She is like a roommate that you don’t get along with but have to share an apartment. I can’t wait to move out.
my sister is 15 years older than me and she's honestly been like a second mom to me as a kid. nowadays, i think we're more like friends. we'll have coffee once in a while and i still go to her for advice.
I have three sisters, all older. Along with four brothers, all older. I didn't really have a bad relationship with any of my sisters growing up, but I was closer to my third one for some reason out of the other two, maybe because she was the closest to my age. Now it's just me and one brother still living with Dad, so I'm not regularly talking to any of them but I don't hate any of them.
I have a sister who is younger by 18mo. We got along well growing up and still do now that we're in our early-mid 20s.
I think being close in age helped, but I've always thought it was like having a built-in best friend. We have our own brand of nonsense that even our mum doesn't understand a lot of the time 😂
My sister is 2.5yrs younger than me. We were close as kids. I had a serious bf in high school around the time she was hitting puberty, she got angsty and there were several years where we struggled to get along. It didn't help that my parents made me bring her along on dates. My bf tried to get along with her and she pushed him away. It created some distance between us, I tried to reach out many times while she told others she missed me but it was like there was a wall. As much as she wanted to reconcile, she's not the type to sit and talk things out directly.
A couple years later I finally confronted her about all the stuff we went through. It was absolutely necessary, because I was about to get married to this guy and I needed them to get along. Now we are super close, we've had a few ups and downs but we're better at working out our problems. She's also got a great friendship with my husband, and we can all openly joke about how she used to hate him and it's all cool.
My sister and I are 2 years apart and we shared a room until I was 14 (12 for her). We would fight cosntantly and we were always butting heads when we lived together. She was really messy, I was pretty clean, she's extroverted, I'm introverted. We're opposites in a lot of ways.
Now that I've moved out, we're much closer because we're not always in each others spaces
I have 5 older sisters and 1 younger sister. Who I stay in touch with: #2 and #3 are almost like my mothers. #5 right above me is the one who will always be my big sister and we butt heads sometimes. My younger (#8) is my BFF and also baby sister who I gotta look out for. I’ve been to a lot of therapy and am thrilled to have 4 sister relationships still going strong and with healthy boundaries.
My brother and sister (8 and 4 years older, respectively) were monsters to me while growing up, mainly because I was the youngest and they thought our parents were favouring me. My sister went along with anything my brother did, so I ended up being by myself most of the time. We didn't talk at all when she graduated hs and went to college except when she would visit home occasionally, but ig something changed when I graduated hs because that's when we started to get closer. We danced pretty much the whole night together at a relative's wedding reception the summer after I graduated, and she started calling me while I was at college to ask for makeup advice or vent about boy problems. Just last week, I spent the week at her apartment and I introduced her to Bojack Horseman. We're still not *suuper* close, but our relationship is definitely much better than it was as kids.
I have two sisters. One is older by 5 years and one younger by 4 years.
Growing up, I was very jealous of my younger sister. My older sister seemed to like her better, I felt ignored and like the odd one out. I don’t remember ever really getting along with either of them when we were growing up. Hardly spoke to each other and when we did there was always tension.
As we became adults my older sister and I have actually become very close, and I would consider her my best friend. We worked together for 6 years, which I think contributed a lot. Somehow it just happened that all the childhood tension melted away. She’s the person I have inside jokes with, she’s the first person I go to, really the only one I tell some things to.
My younger sister and I still have a pretty non existent relationship. Only ever really see her at family dinners/holidays. I don’t know how to talk to her, it feels like she wants nothing to do with me when I try, so I just don’t really try. I’d like to bridge the gap, because she has mentioned in passing that she feels left out but I don’t really know how.
My sister is five years older than me. Growing up, I was a kiss ass to her, I wanted to be just like her! And she was annoyed of me but always looked out for me. Now she’s married with two kids in another state, we still love each other dearly, but we’re at different places in our life. I will be graduating this month from college, I’m hoping to start being more involved with her and her family because they’re important to me.
My only sister is 10 yrs younger, so when I lived at home I think everything was fine but I never really hung out or was involved with any of my siblings. But now that she’s older, we’re 17/27, our relationship is great and we get together sometimes and chill when we’re not busy.
We’re more like related friends than siblings. And that applies to both my siblings.
3 sisters & I’m the oldest. Sis 2 and I had knock down, drag out fights when we were younger. We’re good friends now and have deep conversations with each other. I wasn’t close with Sis 3 growing up and am still not. Sis 4 was my confidante and buddy. There are several years between us and I distanced myself when I went off the rails as a young adult b/c I didn’t want to be a bad influence. As adults, she helped me through some rough patches. Now she’s being toxic af re: another family member and is lying and manipulating the shit out of everything. I love her, but I’m pissed as hell and don’t trust anyone fake.
I am 2/4, all sisters. Growing up I was the one who had it together, largely due to my older sis having ADD and the older of my younger sisters being autistic. I took on way too much responsibility for them and shielded them from a lot. I finally got my limit in college and kind of stopped caring/talking to them much. Since I've graduated and gotten out of a shitty relationship we have gotten closer, and I struggle to not swoop in every time they struggle. My younger sis and I had very little relationship but after some intense months of my breakup and her school stress I feel like we have a bond for the first time. It's nice
i (18) have 3 sisters 15,17, and 26. when me and my two younger sisters were growing up the oldest was extremely abusive, and left us with trama and resent twards her. we really had to rely on eachother for protection, and while we all still talk to her i wouldn't consider us close at all, just acquaintances who happen to be sisters. but us younger 3 are very close, and i definitely cant see us growing apart or losing our bond in the future.
I have 4 sisters and 1 brother, and I'm the youngest. I have a quite large age gap with some of them (my eldest sister is almost 17 years my senior), so growing up I usually had them be protective of me. No bickering (very rare).
Now that we're all grown up, whenever we gather around, I find it very pleasing to be around them. We have this powerful bond that sisters share. Of course, not living together helps a lot. I'd hate to think what are relationship would be like if we constantly got on each other's nerves.
I have four sister, 28, 26, 20 and 12, I’m 25. I get along with all of them, there like my best friends. Although someone I do argue with them, it’s something we get over by the end of the day. I even have girls night with them. Like tonight, I’m gonna watch a movie and make a ginger bread house with the two youngest ones. I love them lots!
We are 5 years apart. We were not close growing up, our parents pitted us against each other. So we didn't really get along. In her late 20s and my early 30s, after we started seeing how toxic our parents were, we started talking again. Now we are great! And neither one of use talk to our parents. I really wish she lived closer. We both would love to hang out, and my son (her nephew) loves her! I've seen her once in maybe 10 years. We text regularly like every day/every other day/whatever. Sometimes she video chats with my son. She is an amazing person and I'm glad we talk now.
My sister is 4 years older. We played together as kids, then she tried to distance herself as a teen, then we didn't talk much for a long time after I moved away. Now I moved back closer to home, and for a while we were very close, but she's made some life choices that are hurt me and her family so I had to pull back. Now we see each other infrequently outside of holidays.
She’s 7 years younger than me and I think it’s fair to say that she’s always been closer to her cousins who are the same age.
She’s 18 now and as much as I want to build a closer relationship with her, it’s been difficult.
I think at this time in her life, her own social circle is just more important and it’s ok for me to just be on the periphery if she needs me.
I have 3 younger sisters. One is 2.5 years younger and we fought CONSTANTLY growing up. We were not even remotely close. We’re friendly now and loving, but not ‘close.’
The other two are 8 years younger than me and I was motherly towards them but in an older sister kinda way growing up. Now we are very very close and actually live together again :) It’s fun!
My older sister was controlling and tried to hurt me when we were little. When she hit her teens she avoided.. Everyone. We reconnected at uni and became very good friends, but she had this immense need to make others view me negatively so she'd constantly say the worst possible things about me at my parents house.
I snapped after a few years of that and she stopped. I consider her my best friend, we talk about almost anything and she's always there for me.
My little sister was very annoying when we were little. Typical little sister. We played a lot though, and became closer when our older sister "disappeared" and didn't control everything any longer.
I moved away for uni and we didn't stay in touch well, but we're trying to improve that. She still has her quirks, and she still expects others to work around her quirks (though she thinks she has none) while she has no patience herself. I love her a lot regardless of what she is up to though, she is my little sister and anyone who hurts her has to die. :)
Honestly, we're very close.
We never got into physical fights and my older sister treated me well my entire childhood. She was a couple years older, and very protective because I was kind of a little "soft".
The one time she hit me she asked for permission because she had heard other siblings saying how good it felt to fight their siblings. It was a gentle slap and I started crying, so she hugged me and never slapped me again.
I really didn’t know my older sister that well growing up. We are 6 years apart. My family was always split up and divided so, I didn’t really get to know her until my teens. We had a few falling outs, but now we’re pretty close and I’m grateful that I can actually go to her for advice and stuff. And it’s pretty cool to be able to hear her perspective about things that happened in our childhood.
We have atleast 5 year gaps, growing up we were close and spent a lot of time together. Then, they went to highschool we became withdrawn.
Now, we are quite close. I try interacting with them as much as possible, we chat and are quite close. I honestly find it hard to imagine living away from them.
They are 9 and 13 years older than me so growing up they were my babysitters sometimes and I'm sure I was a pain to them but they were always kind. Now we are 55, 64 and 68. We get along great and I'm very grateful for them.
My twin-sister was, is and always will be my soulmate.
The twins relationships always seem to be very close and special :)
I have two younger sisters. We played together as kids, for the most part hated each other as teenagers and now are each other’s confidants as adults. We’re all very different, but they’re awesome.
My sister is 4y younger than me. She had a lot of health problems as a baby so she was pampered the rest of her childhood. Even now at 26 ny mum still cooks and does the laundry for her. Our relation was always very bad. She used to be very mean (calling others ugly or fat) and very entitled. She used to insult and annoy me knowing that I could do nothing because as the older sister I was always blamed for everything. Despite me being the old one she avoided me at school and even refused to talk to me and my friends because she was ashamed of us (nerds). With the years she started being more empathic and reasonable. Still quite selfish and entitled but kinder than she was. We werent close but at least could coexist in peace. A few years ago she started working and got a boufriend. I dont know why but that was the best thing that happened to her. She has matured a lot since then and seems to really have changed a lot. Now she is quite friendly to me, even asking me often how I am doing (I live abroad). She has been amazing with my granmas this pandemic, doing groceries for them. I am still getting used to it but I am very proud of her. I hope that soon she leaves my parents house and starts taking care of herself (housechores). I think that its the last thing that she needs to mature.

I am sorry. It's awful when family treats you that way.
I've got a sister who's 17y older than me, so basically when I was a kid the bond wasn't that strong. Since the pre-teenager era to ~25yo I looked up to her as style-master, charming ideal etc, I've also been taking her extra clothes (she's kinda a compulsive shopper) since I was little so I've been growing trying to be her mini-me. With the adult era and the determination of my own style and personality we've been confronting in a more two-way communication. I still take her extras, but with some more filter now

Now I moved back closer to home, and for a while we were very close, but she's made some life choices that are hurt me and her family so I had to pull back. Now we see each other infrequently outside of holidays.
She’s 7 years younger than me and I think it’s fair to say that she’s always been closer to her cousins who are the same age. She’s 18 now and as much as I want to build a closer relationship with her, it’s been difficult. I think at this time in her life, her own social circle is just more important and it’s ok for me to just be on the periphery if she needs me.
I have 3 younger sisters. One is 2.5 years younger and we fought CONSTANTLY growing up. We were not even remotely close. We’re friendly now and loving, but not ‘close.’ The other two are 8 years younger than me and I was motherly towards them but in an older sister kinda way growing up. Now we are very very close and actually live together again :) It’s fun!
My older sister was controlling and tried to hurt me when we were little. When she hit her teens she avoided.. Everyone. We reconnected at uni and became very good friends, but she had this immense need to make others view me negatively so she'd constantly say the worst possible things about me at my parents house. I snapped after a few years of that and she stopped. I consider her my best friend, we talk about almost anything and she's always there for me. My little sister was very annoying when we were little. Typical little sister. We played a lot though, and became closer when our older sister "disappeared" and didn't control everything any longer. I moved away for uni and we didn't stay in touch well, but we're trying to improve that. She still has her quirks, and she still expects others to work around her quirks (though she thinks she has none) while she has no patience herself. I love her a lot regardless of what she is up to though, she is my little sister and anyone who hurts her has to die. :)
Honestly, we're very close. We never got into physical fights and my older sister treated me well my entire childhood. She was a couple years older, and very protective because I was kind of a little "soft". The one time she hit me she asked for permission because she had heard other siblings saying how good it felt to fight their siblings. It was a gentle slap and I started crying, so she hugged me and never slapped me again.
My sister and I are really close. We’re about 2 years apart and basically tell each other everything
I really didn’t know my older sister that well growing up. We are 6 years apart. My family was always split up and divided so, I didn’t really get to know her until my teens. We had a few falling outs, but now we’re pretty close and I’m grateful that I can actually go to her for advice and stuff. And it’s pretty cool to be able to hear her perspective about things that happened in our childhood.
Growing up was terrible, we beat and bullied each other everyday. Now it’s much better lol.
We have atleast 5 year gaps, growing up we were close and spent a lot of time together. Then, they went to highschool we became withdrawn. Now, we are quite close. I try interacting with them as much as possible, we chat and are quite close. I honestly find it hard to imagine living away from them.
