Do you have siblings or wish you did? 1 brother who passed from covid, 1 sister far far away and haven't heard from in 30 years..
How did you get along? So so, big age gap.
Any siblings you would have better off or worse off without?
Did you ever wish you were an only child or did you enjoy being one? Didn't matter, I had many same age neighborhood kids to grow up with..
Was there any sibling rivalry between your sibs or among your kids if you have any? No too big of a age gap, I was way older and in a different world growing up then.

Any siblings you would have better off or worse off without? We had one 'problem child'. He's still a problem as an adult. But he's his own problem now. Another one of my brothers is easily the best friend of my life. Did you ever wish you were an only child or did you enjoy being one? No. For the most part I'm glad for all my brothers.
Was there any sibling rivalry between your sibs or among your kids if you have any? Not really.
How did you get along? In the younger days, like brothers (good days and bad days). Currently we get along very well. I can see use having a hard time living far away from each other.
Any siblings you would have better off or worse off without? Would have a hard time without my brother.
Did you ever wish you were an only child or did you enjoy being one? Was one for a long time (large age gap) and really enjoyed it as there was loads of kids around. Saying that I would never have wanted to be an only child as the teenage years came around.
Was there any sibling rivalry between your sibs or among your kids if you have any? Yes. nothing serious but we annoyed each other all the time.
Do you have siblings or wish you did? Have 1 younger sister.(4 years younger).
How did you get along? We were polar opposites in our likes and dislikes so there was really no rivalry between us or closeness, either. We each did our own thing. I still don't understand why she does the things she does and now we're both old. But we live far apart and communicate via email regularly and that works for us.
Any siblings you would have better off or worse off without? No. We just weren't close.
Did you ever wish you were an only child or did you enjoy being one? No.
Was there any sibling rivalry between your sibs or among your kids if you have any? No.
Do you have siblings or wish you did? No, I was an only child.
How did you get along? I had a lot of cousins, we all got along....when I was a child, I actually got along best with adults though.
Any siblings you would have better off or worse off without? I had one brother Michael, who died as an infant before I was born. I wish he had lived.
Did you ever wish you were an only child or did you enjoy being one? Yes, it had advantages at times.
Was there any sibling rivalry between your sibs or among your kids if you have any? I was raised as an only child, and my Son was an only child...so no.
Do you have siblings or wish you did? I had an older brother, Jim, but he was an alcoholic and only lived to be 45. I always assumed we'd grow old together, and I miss him. But from my father's second marriage I have two younger stepsisters and a stepbrother that I lived with from the age of 11 until I left home at 18.
How did you get along? My brother and I had a good relationship, though we didn't get to spend a lot of time together. When I was 11 and he was 14, he went to live with our mother and stepfather, who lived hundreds of miles away, and I didn't see him or talk to him for four years.
Any siblings you would have better off or worse off without? One of my stepsisters is rather neurotic and tries to control everyone around her. She is estranged from all three of her daughters, and her two siblings keep their distance.
Did you ever wish you were an only child or did you enjoy being one? No. Mr. Bay was an only child, and I think he enjoyed being the focus of his parents' life.
Was there any sibling rivalry between your sibs or among your kids if you have any? I think that my brother Jim may have resented me a bit when we were kids. My father was awful to him, but I adored him and was thus his favorite.
Thanks, PegE!
