If you have a brother or sister, you'll definitely know what I mean when I say we take our family for better or for worse. A lot of times, our siblings can really be pains in the you-know-what but we always stick together. Some of the best times in my life have come from hanging with my brothers and sisters and I wouldn't give them up for the world, even though they're annoying a lot of the time! Here are 11 things I love about having siblings.

1. Partners in Crime

Kick butt together and get into trouble together, it's what we do.

2. Parents Trust You Together!

This one's pretty great once you're older. If at least one of you is responsible, best believe they're loosening the leash a bit!

3. Babysitting

Oh yeah, getting paid to watch them is pretty awesome too! It's a guaranteed job.

4. Vacations

Okay, this one can be pretty bad with road trips, but it's all worth it when you get to bond in the end.

5. School Bus Buddies

Who else but your sibling to sit next to you on the bus and make sure you get to the right class? It definitely gets rid of some anxiety, if you're the younger one that is.

6. Life Advice

Sometimes your siblings know you more than you know yourself and they almost always give it to you straight. I've learned to appreciate the blunt, unforgiving advice (eventually).

7. Bodyguards

You mess with my sibling? You better prepare for a world of hurt!

8. Holiday Sidekick

Dealing with crazy family? Are the grandparents driving you batty? Your siblings probably feel the exact same way and it's nice to know that you can commiserate with someone.

9. Sharing Clothes

This one is mostly for sisters and sometimes it's forced sharing, but for the most part, this is a great perk! Sometimes they just have cuter stuff.

10. Pranks!!!!

Pranks are touchy and usually result in punishments on both sides but hey, at least you get a bit of fun out of your sibling's anger?

11. A Shoulder To Cry On

I love being able to talk to my brothers and sisters about my problems. They're always going to be there and it's a comfort to me to be able to talk to them.
