An Only Child

A few days ago I saw this two birds seating side by side together on a rooftop.I was simply observing them and I was curious to see why were they seating together.I assume that they were lovers but later on I saw that a third bird came by and started feeding them by regurgitation.Then the answer came to me that the two birds was actually siblings like brother and sister but I couldn't tell which was male or a female in this scenario or the fact that which one was younger or older. I only established that the mother which was bigger and seem to be feeding them. I always wanted a sibling in my life but I never did get one. I don't have any sibling and I never know what it's like to have to have such a thing as sibling rivalry or having someone to look up to or even having someone to play with when I was a little kid with. Do you have any siblings in your life and what kind of relationship do you have with your siblings?

I was next-to-the-youngest out of 16 living children. Having siblings can be good sometimes and can be bad sometimes. (You know about the brother who ruined two foods for me.) I am getting older now and most of my siblings are gone. There are four boys and two girls still living. I only see one brother and one sister anymore. *shrug* Life happens to us all.

16 children That's one big family you have. Most people I know in my life have less than 5 here and yes I do know about your two brother story you previously mentioned.I'm sorry to hear about your older siblings that are gone. I heard from one of my friend that she and her siblings always have sibling rivalry and never seem to get along in her case.In my case I always wanted a younger brother or sister.

@sica98 I understand... My youngest brother and I were best friends growing up but grew apart after I got married. I rarely saw him after that.

@sica98 Not so close. But not on bad terms either. Casual I guess.

I have a sister six years younger than me and a brother twelve years younger than me. We're okay with each other, but we're not close even though they live near me.

I have one elder sister and two elder brothers. My elder sister passed a few years ago. We have a very close relationship during all these years.

I only have a sister, being both girl make us gossip together, fight together, sharing clothes... sometimes get tired of her, but it nice having siblings, once we fight and i wish i was an only child, but imagine not seeing her and being alone are so sad! Seeing her annoyed face while i messing up with her is my favorite

That is nice to have that sort of relationship with your sister.It's only normal to have that kind of hate love relationship, that's what family is about anyway.

I have a sister, and she is there for me in a pinch and likewise, but she never needs me for anything it seems. We used to be close, but not anymore it seems. She doesn't seem to be interested in that.
