Sibblings

[Elgin Clock]

I was an only child for 12 years. My parents got divorced when I was 5 or 6 and then my dad remarried and had kids.

I have a sister who will be 13 this year and a brother who just turned 11.

Both of them are already showing interest in joining the robotics team when they get older. I already let my brother walk with us during this year's memorial day parade, and he wore a shirt from nationals 2002 that I won on e-bay that was too small for me.. lol

I'm the second oldest out of 6. (All girls and 1 boy, but its okay though he's the oldest). I like my position. My brother is the guinea pig. Other then that though I don't really notice any different treatment between me and some of my sisters and brother. There is some but that’s only because they age range between us. My brother was entering college when my youngest sister was entering kindergarten.

It’s great. My parents are really involved in FIRST and it works great with the school. I just graduated from high school and one of my sisters (Angie) was there this year. So we easily kept up with FIRST. She's going to be a senior this year though. When she graduates my next sister (Emily) will be starting her freshmen year. ^_^ Then there are two more coming. We'll have a person in high school for the next 10 years straight. So you'll be seeing my family in FIRST for a long time. ^_^

Youngest of 2......Ogre is my older brother
Its nice, although we're so close with one side of my family, its like i have 6 older brothers (im the only girl on that side, and the youngest)

My parents had parenting boys down by my age between all my cousins and my brother, then BAM a girl, it's been interesting, I do a lot more school activties and outing with friends than my brother did, like freshman and sophmore year, i'd ask how late i could be out, and my parents weren't quite sure how to answer. They were like, what? go out? Its been a bit different, but a lot of fun. I was the guinea pig girl, so i was ALWAYS in dresses as a young child, by the time i was about 9 or 10, i was sick of it and didn't wear them for a good year or so. But we're back to normal now. Being the youngest is fun, although my parents have set different standards between me and my brother, sometimes that's no fun, cuz they know it, and when i go "but Jeffrey go to" they get to say "well you're not jeff are you??"

Hang on, this gets kinda confusing.

Summarizing the details below, I have 2 brothers, 1 half brother, 1 half sister, 4 step brothers and 3 step sisters. 7 are older than me and 4 are younger.

Two older brothers (both older, @ 39 and 37):
The eldest was high school valedictorian, basketball star and church youth group president. He got married, went to seminary, had two kids, and works in the business world and as a counselor.
The middle brother was high school saludictorian, taught high school english, got married, had two kids (one is Austistic), and is a professor at Tenn. Tech. University. He and his wife both have their doctorate degrees in education.

Needless to say, following these two dudes was (and is) not easy.

My half brother is 23, and half sister is 21. One step sister is 41, one is 37, and one is 34. One step brother is 38, one is 36, one is 35, and one is 34. Three steps and the two halfs are on one side of the family (dad's) while the other 4 steps are are the other side (mom's - this is the hog farmin' side of the family).

My wife is a saint. Having two sets of in-laws for her has to be hard to manage. My kids don't know all of their cousins, aunts and uncles. Holidays are chaotic. All of the family (either side) is never together at the same time, even at weddings. It is pretty ridiculus, but we have gotten used to it.

Confused? It took me a while to figure out too.

Boy could my kids relate.

Personally I'm the youngest of twins. My twin, 6 minutes older than I, was considered mean by everyone around us til she made some friends in high school. She always resented my having friends thruout school.

There were 3 sets of twins in high school with us. There was always an introvert, and an extrovert, in my opinion.

I have 4 kids ages 16-31. I have 2 stepkids, by different moms. 1 is age 13. 1 is 18. My kids dad married a woman with 4 kids. My adult son married a single mom. My 12yo stepgranddaughter is best friends with my 13yo stepdaughter. I have 6 grandkids altogether.

Middle. I have a sister (5 years older), and two brothers (1 and 1/2 years older and 2 years younger). By the time we were in our teens my sister was the pretty, smart, popular one, I was the quiet bookworm, and my brothers were always in trouble. Between dealing with my sister's activities and achievements and cleaning up my brothers' messes, my parents were overwhelmed and I was pretty much allowed to come and go as I pleased.
