The world without siblings wouldn’t be the same. If you’re the oldest child in the family like me, you know the price you pay for ordering the little one around. And if you’re the smallest in the pack, well, you probably know it better than me, anyway.

So in some ways, having a frenemy for life is both a blessing and sometimes a curse, but honestly, more of a blessing. Like, who else would you annoy the heck out of, or who else would you join a secret alliance with to sneak out to your friends when you know very well that you’d both be in trouble? Or who would you still say "don’t tell mom" to when you turn 50?

Siblings are for life, and these painfully spot-on sibling tweets selected by Bored Panda are proof that this life has more colors, shouting, and constant "can you lend me a (insert smth you don’t wanna lend but can’t refuse)?" moments.

    Yup! I still do it with my brother and we're in our 40s :)

    To find out more about the complex dynamics of sibling relationships, Bored Panda reached out to Dr. Lise Deguire, a licensed psychologist and award-winning author of “Flashback Girl: Lessons on Resilience From a Burn Survivor.

    “When a child has a sibling, they learn from their earliest days that attention, love, and resources must be shared. Parents take care of both of them, so children have to learn to wait their turn, to share the cake, to take turns picking what to watch on TV.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    ”Turns out that these early lessons are the ones that help kids understand two crucial things: that other people matter and that other people have needs. “Kids with siblings also learn, early on, that they can wait now and then get what they want,” said Dr. Lise and added that “Generally, these are good life lessons for children to have.”

    However, sometimes, these lessons don't go so well. According to Dr. Lise, “if parents have clear favorites, or if one child gets a disproportionate share of attention, it can be very painful and lead to long-term feelings of being inadequate, inferior, or uncared for.”

    In order to avoid this, Dr. Lise recommends for families to have repeated bonding traditions that actively include all the children. For example, “Dinner time, holiday traditions, family vacations, game night.” The licensed psychologist explained that “all these are bonding opportunities to help kids feel a part of the family, hopefully in an equal way.”

    We are both in our 60's now and look more alike. When we were kids and people would know right away we were sister's I never got it, we do not look similar. It was our mannerisms and how we spoke to each other. Even how we stood together. It's more than just looks.

    fr, my sister and I are the same height, but that's literally it. My hair is like 2.5 feet long and dirty blonde, hers is around her collarbone and dark brown. We both have hazel eyes, but hers are more green and mine are more golden, and her eyelashes are prominent and long, while mine are medium length and thicker. We have different eye shapes. Her skin is darker than mine (by a LOT, she's more olive-toned and mine is basically Casper's sperm). Her face is longer than mine, and our mouth and lip shape AND color are completely different. Our noses are kind of similar, but mine is thinner at the bridge and more upturned. She's my height and is pretty skinny, with a rectangular body shape, and I'm heavier ("tHiCkEr BoNeD", as my dad likes to call it) with a square-y pear shaped figure. My legs are THICK, with a pretty even muscle-fat ratio and I have really thick ankles, and she has skinnier legs and a higher muscle ratio than fat. She has chubbier cheeks, while my cheekbones are a little more prominent.

    I’m an identical twin. Different personalities, hair, nose, smile, clothing style. I can understand messing us yo every now and again but we went through the entirety of school being “the twins”. I was never me and she was never herself. There needs to be some effort on other’s parts. 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

    My sibling has to be the first to use everything (bras, clothes, cosmetics, and etc...), and I didn’t care for a long time. She was surprised when I charged her after staining my blouses...they still had tags on and the incidents were back to back. I don’t know where she got the confidence to yell at me.
