Things are different with a sibling age gap.

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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
