    I was the youngest and the only girl until 5 years ago. My brother and I got along pretty well. Although we got into a lot of physical fights. One minute we would literally be beating the shit out of each other, and the next minute we would be laughing about it. The only flaw was that, at the time, as the youngest and only girl my parents would choose me over him. It was the only thing that got in between us.

    Oldest, fought a lot with middle one and never with the youngest. Still can't stand the middle one, but I love my baby brother.

    Technically, the oldest.

    I have a younger brother (almost exactly 2 years younger, he was born 2 days before my birthday). We fought viciously our whole childhood. Only really stopped when he was 13, I was 15. It's improved out of sight. We're not super close, but we can see eye to eye better. We also both can see how fucked up our family is, and that's kind of good to share. He's actually grown up this year, finally at 25, which has me in shock, somewhat. But I'm also quite proud of him.

    I have a younger half sister, who is 15 next month. I haven't seen her since she was about 9. It hurts, I didn't see her for much of her childhood because she's my dad's kid and my dad's a cunt. I have a mix of upset/regret/apathy towards the fact that I have no relationship with her now. I talked to her on facebook for a while, she is so different to me at her age, I have trouble relating.

    I'm not really supposed to know, I don't think, but I have an older half brother. My dad had a kid before he and mum had me. He would be maybe 30 or so now? I've never met him, I would kind of like to, but I don't know that it would be worth it. I have no idea if his mother kept him or put him up for adoption.

    Older. And i fought a LOT with my bro when i was younger. But i can guarantee not even our parents loved my brother as much as i loved him!! I once hit the kid who tried to bully him, got grounded for hitting a younger boy and then made my bro's life hell for the rest of the month because i'd been punished because of him... :P

    Youngest and only girl. Three huge older brothers. My oldest brother and I always got along well and still do. The other ones and I fought sometimes and they'd throw me around like a football, but all three of them were and still are very protective of me. I get along with all of them amazingly now.

    I'm in the middle I didn't fight much, but my older and younger brother fought a lot. And I was always caught in the middle and was forced by mom and dad to tell what happened.

    I was the oldest, with one brother a year younger. We didn't fight much, but we mostly stopped talking too much when it became obvious we had different interests, no friends in common and started going to different schools :P

    I am the youngest sibling of three. My two older brothers and I would fight over lots of stuff, like who gets the TV remote, who gets to play with a certain game, whose turn it is to set the table. Our fights were both physical and not, but to this day, I get along moderately well with both of them.

    Oldest of three sisters. Middle sister and me fought like cats and there was one point where I really thought that we would never even be able to be civil to each other, but it's better now, mostly because we've both grown up a bit. Having said that, as very young kids we got on fantastically, and did so up until I was about 16 and she was 13 - then it all went wrong! Youngest sister and I haven't really fought - she's a bit of a moody teen but she's worse to my parents than me - might be because of the age difference but we were also never as close.

    I'm the youngest of three. My sister is three years older and we get along, but we were never close. She still treats me like a child at times. My brother is less than a year older so we always played together. We ignored each other in high school but we get along great now. But sadly I only see him once every two years or so.

    Eldest boy. My and my sister were like best friends until adolescence and then we started fighting bitterly (although still got on, and used to go to the pictures together when we were both single).

    The youngest, my brother, and I had a more difficult relationship. He's four years younger than me and my sister and we resented him a bit for the way he was treated. At some point, he wanted to be like me, and I was the one who introduced him to football, comedy, and - later - music. He always wanted to be doing what I was doing. We got along but the age gap meant we didn't often play together, but we did share a room. We were still sharing a room when I was 18 and we were seriously starting to piss each other off.

    I was the third child out of four. I mostly got along well with my older brother and younger brother. My older sister and I used to fight a lot. After the fighting, I had mostly good times with her. Our mother would always tell my sister she was awful, but to me she was the greatest person in the world. We did everything together. I wanted to be just like her. I'm not close to my sister anymore. My younger brother and I still get along. I no longer understand my older brother and I gave up trying.

    I am the oldest sibling and I fought a bit with my sister. We grew up in odd conditions and being that we had our asses torn apart together, there is some strange "only the two of us know what happened in there" bond. We still get along well, she really looks up to me. My little brother is too young for me to give an accurate approximation of our relationship but in general we are incredibly affectionate towards each other, possibly because I was basically his Mother for the first few months of his life because my Mom worked and doesn't like kids much.

    I have no fucking clue why she had them...

    Younger sister. Got along great with my elder sister(by 2 years). No other siblings. She was somewhat of a role-model for me until well into puberty, and my parents subtly encouraged her to be proud of that role, leading to great dynamics between us.
    She also supported me when i had my coming-out...we still get along nicely, and her kids are great!

    Middle child. Love hate relationship with both. Me and my older sister used to be extremely close when we were very young. I don't really like her much now. Love my younger sister, though. Although we still have a love hate relationship.
