12 Pros And Cons Of Having A Sibling
Abigail Dutton

Siblings. Gotta love 'em right? Right! Well, to some extent that is. While there is no one else that understands you better than someone that has been stuck in the same gene pool as you, there also tends to be something irritating along with them. There are pros and cons to every sibling relationship, and I've come here to show them to you. The end.


1. Con: You're always doing more work than your brother/sister around the house.

The weirdest part about this one is that nobody else seems to notice that it's an issue but you. Huh.


2. Con: Your sibling never leaves you alone. When you want them to, at least.

Just pretend they don't exist?


3. Con: When your sibling cries to your parents and watches you get yelled at like:

Ugh. This irks me just to think about it.


4. Con: What's mine is (not) yours.

As I'm writing this, my sister is wearing my shirt.


5. Con: You get pranks pulled on you.

This is a terribly inevitable thing, yet payback tends to make it all worth it.


6. Con: Accidentally making them cry while fighting.

This is pretty much just an oops all together.


7. Con: When you're in trouble for fighting with you brother/sister and they act innocent.

Not to mention the look you give them that's filled with sudden death.


8. Con: Never being able to get in the shower without arguing about it.

I don't run so I don't win.


9. Con: Getting your seat stolen at the dinner table.

The everlasting game of who can be more stubborn.


10. Con: When there is always a little bit of blackmail going on...

And they act like they have no clue about all of the things you know!


11. Pro: Knowing that no matter what happens, your sibling will be there for you.

You didn't think there would be a pro, did you?


12. Like, really knowing.


This is the best pro to be honest.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
