What do you think the most important thing about being a sister is (or a brother)? I have two younger sisters. I think the most important thing (with any family) is to be there for them no matter what. Spending time with them. What do you think?

There is truly nothing like having siblings. I think what everything said is an important role of siblings.

Relationship between siblings is something really fascinating whether it is a sister-sister, or brother-sister or brother-brother relationship. But still the relationship a sister have with another sister and with a brother is so different and special I feel, because, I have seen two brothers discussing anything around the earth, except the family matters and personal things. But when it comes for a discussion between brother and sister or sister and sister, there is an emotional bonding and attachment and at times even the younger sister, takes up the role of a mother and cares for her sibling a lot.

I don't have any brothers but I think you are right. I have seen how my mother acts with her brothers and it was different how she acted with her sister. Her sister was her best friend and she passed away a couple of years ago. I can tell it really hurts her at times and she is really upset with her. There is one of her brothers that she is close to but I think it is still different than with her sister. The funny thing is with one of my sisters we can argue and then turn around not even five minutes later we will act like nothing happened. I don't think there is anything like having a sister. I try to do a lot for my little sister, we watch movies together all the time. Like I said I have different bonds with both of them but am close each of them.

The best thing about being a sister is that you have instant friends with them. I have 3 younger sisters, two of them are my buddies, and one is like my baby-she's just 5y.o. And with me being the eldest, I get to give them good advices about things that they undergo everyday or should they have problems to resolve. I can give advices that surely works, because I speak with my experiences. It's just fun having sisters, there's someone whom you could talk to about anything.

I don't have any sister but I do have 2 younger brothers. Living with male siblings is more enjoyable I think. Although they are younger but I feel safe whenever they're around. Like you know, being guardian or something. Not to say that they're always by my side physically but emotionally as well. My husband also has 2 younger brothers, and so, I live in the middle of male siblings. It's like we're having this unsaid rules not to go too much after one another's problem. Nevertheless, we're always fully aware that one's having a problem. Yet if we want to talk to any of our siblings, they are more open than our parents. Being an only and oldest sister in family has made me a more grown up person. Take care of the chores (before I got married), more responsibility on the parents and other things. Yet I'm grateful to have such wonderful brothers... :)

I was the eldest sister of my brother and my youngest sister. I feel that it was important to be there no matter what happen,even though there are misunderstanding or they hurt you. It is important to tell them if they do something wrong or do a good job, you might criticize them but still it is for their own good. FOr better.As the eldest i feel that whatever misunderstanding or tension between them, i will still do the way to remove it and talk again.Long patience and understanding is needed to them.

I think the most important thing about being a sister..or brother is..being there for them when they need you..having fun with them and enjoying their company. Everyone fights sometimes but...siblings need to have the ability to see past the disagreements and still love or care for each other for who or what they are.

I think the most important thing is to share your happiness as well as your pain with your sister. I have one with whom I can talk about everything I want.It's a lucky thing!

I have two older sisters, both very different people with whom I have very different relationships and I love them both dearly. I agree that the most important thing is knowing that there is always someone there for you, who will always listen and be on your side and that they can rely on you to do the same for them. I also have two brothers, I love them just as much and they are equally as important but it is definately a different sort of relationship. Unfortunately as we have all grown older, with families of our own, we dont see each other as often as we used to but we talk regularly and know that, in a crisis, we only have to call and the others will come running (or perhaps hobbling would be more appropriate these days!).

I think for me. The most important thing about being a sister is that you show how much you love your siblings. Let them know how much you care for them not only in words but also in actions.
