    Default Siblings

    How many siblings do you have? I had the feeling this could be an interesting discussion. The poll is private, by the way...and yours truly is an only child.

    I have a "half-sister" which means we share one parent. (our father.)

    I counted her as "one" since to me, she's my sister...

    One. Older brother.

    So, we were conversing with an apparently very smart cousin-once-removed and he needed to ask if I was the eldest of the brethren. I replied "There's an eldest, a youngest and no more!". After taking a brief time to digest that he returned:

    I have a brother 8 years younger than me and he is nearly a foot taller (ok .. 10cm).

    I am a middle sibling. Two older sisters and a younger sister and brother.

    Older sister and younger brother and I'm taller than both so I'm 'Big Brother.' It is sad to grow older and know that merely being three years old than your brother no longer guarantees winning in wrestling.

    Stage one we say nothing is going to happen.
    Stage two, we say something may be about to happen, but we should do nothing about it.
    Stage three, we say that maybe we should do something about it, but there's nothing we can do.
    Stage four, we say maybe there was something we could have done, but it's too late now.

    .
    My mother has an elder brother, to younger sisters and two younger brothers, the youngest having passed away 12 years ago, who was more of a big bro to me and a son to mom. My maternal grandfather's elder brother had also two sons and six daughters. That's the peasantry side...

    My father had (2 - 1) + 1 younger brothers. (One died at the age of 2 and the youngest was born later.) My elder uncle passed away 14 years ago, of the big C. My grandfather had one older and one younger sisters and a younger brother. My grandmother had three brothers, older and younger.

    So, it seems about 4 was the norm for citizens and 6 for the more agrarian.

    Hehe, the way some of us have turned out I believe she would say that is an accurate assessment.

    My older brother, by 10 years, was adopted. Then there was me, and three younger sisters, the baby of the family is 9 years younger than I.

    My paternal Grandfather had 13 surviving siblings in his family, early 1900's. So not a clown car...more like a two-decker bus.
