What It's Like Having A Brother That's 10+ Years Older Than You
Jessica Parker

Growing up with a lot of siblings is tricky. Everyone can be so different from one another and you can never tell what's going to happen. There are many pros and cons of having them. Little siblings can be fun, but being one can be hard.

Being in completely different stages in your life.

You're planning prom and he's planning his wedding. You're babysitting some kids and he’s planning to have kids. It’s weird.

You can both talk about your problems.

He’s always there. No matter what.

You’re going to protect each other more than your parents do.

He will never like any guy you're with and vice versa. He’ll watch out for you and make sure you don't make the same mistakes as he did.

You get to see whatever movie you want.

He can get you into R-rated movies and you're his excuse to go to chick flicks. It’s simple.

You can teach each other things.

You’ll learn everything you need to know for geometry from him and he’ll learn the style skills he needs to not dress like an old man.

You see eye to eye even though he’s a lot older.

Things have changed a lot since he was your age but you grew up together and learned everything you know from each other. Its different in some aspects but not all.

You'll never get away with anything.

Mom has seen it all, she knows. Don't even try.

You get tired of each other really easy.

Getting on each other nerves is a specialty of yours. You know the little things to make them angry. It's funny, honestly, but you miss each other the next day.

There is no one you will ever appreciate more. They are your first friends and they help you through everything. You can’t trade them, but why would you want to? Your siblings do everything for you and you are so grateful.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
