10 Signs You Grew Up Without Sisters
Beni DiVasta

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
