10 Signs You Grew Up Without Sisters

Girls who grew up with all brothers are a special breed. And don't worry we aren't hard to find either because we're probably going to tell you 15 times that we grew up with only brothers. So here's to all the girls without the sister they never wanted.

1. You have never been able to take a normal family picture.

You realize if you just smiled the first time we wouldn't have to take the picture 15 times, right?

2. Growing up, all your brotherless friends asked you to explain boys to them.

"Okay take notes, guys care about one thing and one thing only- food."

3. You don't even roll your eyes when the wrestling starts again.

You've just accepted it at this point that they'll be wrestling their way through the nursing home.

4. You never had to share clothes growing up.

No fighting over clothes made your childhood so much easier.

5. When you're mom calls you for dinner you run to get there before it's all eaten.

Early bird gets the worm, am I right?

6. But you have a lifetime supply of hand-me-downs of oversized boys clothes.

There's no better feeling than a sweatshirt that is just way too big.

7. Your mom is your best friend.

You and your mom have become insanely close for your own sanity of being stuck in an all male house.


8. You always got the dreaded middle seat on family road trips.

Because if the boys sit next to each other they'll fight. Ugh.

9. You always knew when a sporting event was on because no one screams that loud at "The Bachelor".

And you can forget about sleep, if they go into overtime.

10. You wouldn't want it any other way.

While growing up with all boys had it's highs and lows, you wouldn't trade a day of shenanigans for all the sisters in the world.

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!
