Yeah pretty much. Having younger siblings gives you creative skills. I became famous for my ability to make up stories and silly songs and do all the voices in books..

Having older siblings gives you survival skills.


I've been in fights with guys twice my weight, twice my size. Only one man has ever knocked me out.

A retired boxer.

what about when your brother steals all the family valuables, and Mom has almost nothing in retirement because Dad rigged everything to come in while he was alive? Anyone experience that?

Lots of people have. Far, far too many. I'm assuming this happened to your Mom. But that's classic sibling.

Depends... One of our siblings turned out to be rather badly bipolar. And apparently only pregnancy hid the symptoms. Fortunately (?) she had 13 children. Finally got treatment after menopause, and is pretty stable now. But relationships were very weird during that time.
