11 Things You Know to be True if You Grew Up with Siblings
Stacey Labissiere

When you think back to the moment when you parents told you that you were going to have a younger sibling you were the world's most angry little kid. How dare they have another child, don't they realize that I am the best thing that they have, why would they need another. But after the birth of your younger sibling, you learned and realized that actually having a younger sibling isn't bad.... sometimes. There were plenty of times they made you want to scream, but you know that you wouldn't give them up for the world. Here are a few things you know to be true growing up with siblings.

1. That thing that you thought you "lost" was in their room the whole time

I cannot explain to you how many times I have thought I lost a shirt and then I have asked my sister if I could borrow a pencil and when I walk into her room I see my shirt hanging in her closet

2. Covering up the TV box so they couldn't change the channel because you were watching your show

Honestly, I don't think that doing that actually worked, but we were definitely determined as a kid to make sure we got to keep watching our show

3. Telling your sibling they could hit you back after you hit them too hard and they started to cry

4. When you are getting yelled at by your parents and you see your sibling laughing in the background

I. Will. End.You.

5. "If you tell on me then both of us will get in trouble."

One of the biggest lies told to us in our childhood.

6. "You guys look exactly alike"

Where.

7. Getting blamed for something that your younger sibling did

8. Having to hide your leftovers from a restaurant so your sibling didn't eat it

9. The feeling of superiority when you have been good and your parents yell at your sibling for being bad

Your parents telling your siblings that they should try to be more like you because you would never do what they just did.

10. They come in clutch when you run out of toilet paper

11. You can always count on them for a good laugh

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
