You know that weird look you get when you say "Yeah I'm the only girl in the family"? That stinging statement "Oh, it must have been so annoying/hard/difficult/lonely growing up with only brothers!" And to be honest, it sometimes is. But it is also pretty great.

1. Pro: You have no competition for being the prettiest one in the family.

I mean, I'm not going to lie, even if there was any competition, we would still slay.

2. Con: You have no one to talk to about new make up tricks or hair styles.

Who is supposed to help me see if these two eye shadows blend well before I actually put it on myself?!

3. Pro: You have your brothers to back you up when you need it.

"Oh yeah?! Well my brother can kick your brothers butt!" was a legitimate line said throughout childhood.

4. Con: Your brothers are also capable and sometimes willing to beat you up too.

It sucked, but it was all worth it. Try me.

5. Pro: It is unlikely that someone will steal your clothes.

It's unlikely, but I will guard my favorite pair of jeans with my heart and soul and if anyone ever DARED to touch them, their lives would end.

6. Con: It is likely that someone will make fun of your style.

Growing up, my brothers always snapped my bra strap and thought it was funny yelling "You're such a girl!" Wow guys, you caught me. Now I have to hide my identity. What ever will I do?

7. Pro: You get all of the attention for being the only "princess" of the family.

You may not actually have a crown but you certainly get put on a pedestal.

8. Con: Since you're automatically deemed a "princess," everyone doubts your ability to kick ass.

YES, I CAN LIFT HEAVY THINGS AND DO YARD WORK. DIRT DOES NOT SCARE ME AND I CAN HANDLE TACKLE FOOTBALL. DO NOT DOUBT MY STRENGTH.

9. Pro: You don't have to worry about your brothers taking super long showers.

I don't know why but guys take 5 minute showers and it's almost as if they don't actually clean themselves because it seems humanly impossible to do that.

10. Con: You get yelled at for taking long showers.

I'm sorry I have to shave 90% of my body and my hair takes forever to rinse out. Perhaps we can destroy the socially constructed idea that I must be hairless like a newborn and we wouldn't have this issue.

11. Pro: Infinite amount of guys sweatpants you can steal.

Guys clothes just fit better, sorry not sorry.

12. Con: Your brothers eventually take them back.

R. I. P. to maximum comfort, it's been real.

13. Pro: Your brothers are always hungry so the offer for food is always on the table.

Chipotle. Coffee. McDanks. BK. Dominos. The following photo was how my little brother and I spent New Year's Eve.

14. Con: Over-eating and their metabolisms are faster than yours.

One bite to your brother is like 15 to you, so yeah, it sucks. But food is so good.

15. Pro: They help you learn what you need to know about sports.

I may not know every player's stats, but I know how the game is played, and what honestly genuinely matters?

16. Con: Since you're a girl, you are automatically seen as a band wagoner despite your sports knowledge.

"OMG he got a touch down in the basket!!!!!!!!" No. I do not say this. I know how it goes. I am not a pink hatter. Leave me alone.

17. Pro: You have so many options for a coach when you need it.

Their extensive sport knowledge is beneficial off and on the field, so when you need to practice before try outs, they can definitely lend a hand.

18. Con: They don't care if you get bruises or if you bleed.

"Suck it up" and "put some tape on it" are commonly heard bellowing across the field as I look at my scraped limb.

19. Pro: No unnecessary or off the scale cat fights.

They may carry some heavy insults but they don't pull hair or claw at you.

20. Con: Again, the boys don't mind physically fighting you.

Just gotta love when your brothers all pummel you to the ground and pig pile while hitting you at the same time. It's pure chaos and there is no escape.

21. Pro: You don't have to share a bedroom when you get older.

Your own little zone. A place where you can relax and do your own thing and have some peace.

22. Con: Your brothers may or may not have a sense of privacy.

Just kidding, your brothers knock and then walk in and ask whatever they need to ask and then don't close your door when they leave.

23. Pro: All the make up is yours.

Your favorite lipstick will never be in someone else's clutch and you shall not fear someone ruining your favorite palette.

24. Con: Your brothers could possibly ask to borrow it to cover a hickey.

True story.
