5 Things You Know To Be True If You've Grown Up With A Younger Brother
Kaitlyn Craig

Anyone with a younger brother knows what I am talking about here.

1. It's a race to see who gets in the bathroom first

For anyone who has a bathroom they share with their siblings you know the struggle...there have been so many times where I'm about to get in the shower and as I am walking to the bathroom, my brother runs in before I do. Like seriously - all I want to do is take a shower and get clean. Now.

2. It's a battle to see who rides shot gun

Anytime you go somewhere it's a battle between you, your younger brother, and the front seat of the car. Someone may or may not get hurt when wanting to ride in the front seat. You try and take turns riding in the front but it never works.

3. You have to write your name on food that's yours

If you go to a restaurant and bring home leftovers or you go to the store to buy you something to eat, you know better than to leave it unmarked. As soon as you walk through the door, you go straight in and find the sharpie to write your name on every inch of the packaging. If you don't, you know your brother will eat it...then someone is going to die.

4. You can get them to do anything for you

If Mom can't get him to do anything, all you have to do is say something or threaten to take their food away. Teenage boys will do anything to keep their food. If they are scared of you, all you have to do is stand up and tell to do whatever Mom wants them to do and they'll do it.

5. You can play the, "Because I was born first" card

If you want to do anything first or get anything, you know that all you have to do is say, "because I was born first!". Then you automatically win. That card works for everything.

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. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.
