I felt really left out being sibling number 3. The first 2 were a nice couple and I was just an extra.
I always thought it would be nice to have another sibling or two. I have one brother, and he lives on the opposite end of the country.
2 or 4, but not 3 in the family. I got stuck with my mother - couldn’t get away.
How far apart in age were you?
My brother was 3 years older than I, my sister was 20 months older than I.
Sorry you felt left out @PinCushion. I hope you have good relationships with them now.
Yes. My sister is a support for me. My brother died in 2010.
My brother has disappeared.
That’s too bad. When was he last seen?
A couple of years ago. We still get cheques for him sometimes so hes probable still alive but we have no idea where or how he is.
What kind of checks? welfare? payroll?
Payment for doing a lot of surveys. Were not sure how worried to be because hes been known to brake contact but this is the longest its been and he likes to travel to dangerous places. A few of his friends have said their worried about him but no one can get in touch with him.
How old is he? How close in age are you?
I’m 27 hes 30 …
Are the checks spent as gifts?
My mum pays them into his account.

I’m number 4 but my next closest sibling is 6 years older. It kind of felt like my parents didn’t want to parent by the time I was a teen
Did they teach you the domestic skills? That’s where my mother dropped out of the picture as I was growing up.

Actually she taught me how to cook. And do laundry.
That’s more than my Mom did. All I got was what I learned in home ec at school.
