i do not know if it will work ,but life would be a lot nicer if me and my brothers (Brian and Bryce they are 10 and 12 but not in that order) got along together. My brother Brian thinks hitting me is a sport and he and Bryce think saying (kill Bonnie) is a joke and they try to get there friends to say (kill Bonnie) as well. how do i handle that???? i mean they hate me and mom and dad have so much work to do that they never notice us.my dad is worked to hard (he has 2 jobs but i think it is more truthful to say he has 4 jobs) and needs a brake my mom has to know everything (that is part of her job) and is kinda cranky and tired from all the work (i would be to).i have only read this post but i am going to read the other two they look amazing and i rely rely rely do want to get along with my brothers.

Sometimes when my brother and I get in an argument I will try to get control of myself and take the humble, submissive attitude. When I do, it tends to catch my brother totaly off gaurd.
An example of such a time would be when I had been reading in the bathroom (something my mom had told me not to do) and when i got out my brother got after me for it. (You know how siblings do that. . . .they like to point out everthing you do wrong,) This made me frustrated, and my brother continued saying that i was disobeying Mom and therefore disobeying God. I thought about that and calmed down. I replied that he was right and I would make an effort to be more obediant. I then thanked him for correcting me. He was caught off gaurd and asked why i was thanking him.
The moral of this story. . . .If you want peace with your sibling don’t go on the defencive but rather take a humble attitude and be the first to apologize. Even if you did not start it!

It is great to get along with siblings! I have a brother that drives me crazy sometimes but is also a lot of fun to play with.

I just finished reading all three posts. They’re great! I have one sister who is exactly one week less than a year older than me. She has some form of autisim so she doesn’t understand things the way normal people do. She looks like a normal person but she is currently in grade 10 and cannot read. Not being able to read changes your entire life. Everything she does, she does a certain way, that sometimes I think is totally unreasonable, and there is no changing it. It can be extremely frustrating. When she does something very unreasonable, or something that frustrates me to no end, I tend to speak very fermly to her (I usually try not to yell). She then usually gets mad at me and a fight starts. I tend to be bossy sometimes and tell her what to do. She absolutely hates always being told what to do, because she wants to be independant but she can’t because of her lack of understanding. She also knows that she is the older sibling, so she retaliates when I’m too bossy. It’s really hard to let her be who she is, because I want everything to work the way it would in a normal persons life. But I simply can’t. I always remind myself, and my mother always reminds me that I have been put in the exact family I’m in for a reason. I never used to understand that because I wanted an older (normal) brother so badly. I thought life would just be perfect if I had a normal older sibling who would understand how I feel. But in the past year it’s becoming clearer and clearer to me that I need to love and respect no matter how frustrating life with my only sibling can be. Believe me, I haven’t nearly mastered that yet, but I have definitely learned a lot in the last years. Oh yes, sometimes I still wish I had an older brother. But I understand now that God gave me only one mentally challanged sister so that I could become the person God wants me to be.

I have 7 sisters and 1 brother. I’m the 2nd youngest and it’s tough. My brother and one of my sisters walked out on our family. My sister just recently. It hurt. I loved both of them, and they took that and stomped on it. I have forgiven both of them, but it is sooo hard to not hate them. Help!
