15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.

15 Signs You Grew Up With Only Brothers

1. You have less than any understanding on how to do makeup.

The first time I ever wore makeup my brother said to me, "What is that black stuff all over your eyes." And from then on I decided I would stick to the extreme basics because I had no idea what I was doing.


6. You never got to eat your leftovers

In my house, if the leftovers were not in a tupperware with a very threatening and aggressive message on it, they were fair game for whoever found them.


7. You may consider yourself girly, but you will always be a tomboy at heart.

You may wear dresses and skirts and heels, but lets be honest, there is nothing like some sweatpants and a sweatshirt (that you may or may not have stole from your brothers).


8. Sometimes you wish you had a sister but then you remember real quick how grateful you are to be the only girl.

Certain instances lead you to maybe wish you only had sisters, but then you realize that with all girls comes a lot more fighting, crying, etc.


9. You understand the male species a little bit more.


10. You are the brutally honest friend.

Your brothers never sugar coated anything they said to you, no matter how blunt it was. So, neither do you.


11. You are the responsible one.

You were always the one mom trusted, because regardless of how much older your brothers may have been, they still were about as responsible as an 8 year old.


12. You developed thicker skin.

You and you brothers called each other every mean/rude thing under the sun. So anything said to you by somebody else didn't phase you.


13. Someone always had your back.

The only people that could be mean to you and get away with it was one of them. Anyone else had to answer to them.


14. You know exactly who to call if you need anything

No matter where they are or what they may be doing, you can always call one of you brothers to help you with anything or to come pick you up.


15. You will always have a love-hate relationship with your brothers, but the love will always outweigh the hate.

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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
