Brothers

I have grown up as the middle kid with two brothers all my life. Before you go “aww, that would suck” keep in mind, I am daddy’s little girl and the golden child. So trust me that part of it doesn’t suck at all. The parts that are not so fun is dealing with my two brothers. My older brother, Eric, is 21 years old and my younger brother, Chris, is 13 years old. There isn’t really a huge age difference between us so we tended to butt heads when we were younger. That all changed as we got older.

I know all of you with siblings can relate to the statement “my brother/ sister is so annoying!” Siblings always seem to know exactly how and when to push your buttons and sometimes it's infuriating. My brothers and I used to do it all the time, but now we don’t see each other very much so we just don’t have time to fight. I am busy with work, so is my older brother, and my younger brother seems to only care about video games nowadays. Trust me, we still do bicker and fight occasionally but it’s nowhere near as frequent or dramatic as before. We've all grown up and just tolerate each other now a days.

I know there are some families out there that are completely split up. Some people don’t even know their siblings. Others know theirs, but fight with them so much that they don’t talk or see them ever. That really makes me feel sad because, even though my brothers drive me crazy, I love them so much and can’t think of a life without them.

To be completely honest, my brothers drive me absolutely insane, but they are the ones who made me who I am today. They’ve made me cry, they’ve made me laugh, they pulled my hair, they gave me hugs, they laughed when I fell but then picked me up and dusted me off. No matter what happened I know my brothers will always be there for me. They may not think I like them that much but I truly do love them so much. I’ll always be their little/big sister they sometimes wish they never had. Even though they are stuck with me, I hope they love me just as much.
