I've got no brothers, only sisters, 3 lovely sisters that are so dear to my heart and I have always wondered what it'd be like havin your very own

Poster, U better appreciate having sisters but for me personally, Id rather be the only child, , I dont really like having siblings around. Too much problems. . . angry
Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by maedan(f): 1:26am On Dec 08, 2009
Brothers---from a girl's perspective. . . .Hmmn, if they're younger, they can be your little boyfriends cheesy. If older, they turn out to be your big husbands - till you get married of course. They protect you, hang out with you, treat you like a queen. And of course smack you up side ur head if you misbehave tongue. Brothers are the best thing a girl should have wink.


But I think it's time a guy actually chips in on this topic and tells it from a brother-to-brother angle.
Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by Hesperus(m): 1:38am On Dec 08, 2009
Ok, brother to brother. For me, it's been good 'cos my bro is only a year older than me (18 months actually) so we have always done stuff together. From gaming when we were younger, to throwing correct parties during our Uni days. Even now, it's still the same.

On the downside, we de fight no be small! You know boys, we everly like to show ourselves. All in all, I can't imagine if I didnt have a bro, my life woulda been boring! No offence to those who haven't got any.

Meh, I don't feel like typing at length but . . . Having brothers is for the most part rewarding, especially if you can all learn to get along very well.  People's experiences will obviously vary.  With that said, it can be very intense.  A couple of elder brothers who just about disliked each other to bits and would  constantly fought like demons every chance they got, until their later years.  They broke doors, fought with those T-squares (from intro tech. lol) could have even fought with bottles as bad as it was. . . even caused minor bodily injuries to one another.  I never ever really understood where the tension emerged from or why it was as strong as it was.  As for me o being the younger brother, I didn't really encounter too much difficulty since I was too young to start a fight.  Nonetheless, I got my fair share of as$-whoopings and at the same time was showered with love.  
One second you love them to pieces, the next you might want to rip their head off.  I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. . . . sooo umm yeah.

@Maedan, Mamagee and M'ethanol (i.e. C2H5OH, I know its ethanol, but I had to use M for that one too  grin):

Na wa o! I was just feeling in the mood to joke this evening, I meant it as a joke. What is it like to have a brother? I was coming here to joke about how someone was referring to her lover as a "brother" and then I found out it was a family question. That's why I said what I said.

My bad. Apologies on the assumed correctness. I am not like that at all.
Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by Nobody: 2:04am On Dec 08, 2009

Geez Adrenaline, you're good tongue. That's some serious psychoanalysis. So that's why you opened the topic grin. Using our replies for your latest thesis?? grin grin
Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by Hesperus(m): 2:38am On Dec 08, 2009
LOL @ Adrenaline!

I dont beat up my bro o! C'mon, he's still older, no matter what. It used to get physical when we were kids, but now, men are wiser now. Just the odd argument now and again, that's all. Plus, my sisters are always there to intervene so it never gets outta hand.
Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by C2H5OH(f): 2:38am On Dec 08, 2009

Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by mavenbox: 2:44am On Dec 08, 2009
@Adrenaline: LOL good job. Mavenbox doesn't need protection though, I always have it! What do you think the box in my name represents?
Re: What Is It Like To Have A Brother? by chiogo(f): 2:47am On Dec 08, 2009
I have two older ones. . . .they're protective - sometimes it's cool, other times not so much.

They can be annoying sha. They don't like doing housework. "It's not manly" Sexism!! tongue

Now that I'm away from home, they miss me like crazy. Each time we talk on the phone, they still can't believe I'm gone. So cute!! tongue

yea maedan, I can analyze you completely based on one or two questions, although that wasnt the reason I opened the thread, I opened the thread cos I wanted to hear varied opinions about this issue.
About the analaysis, I can give u a complete on if you like

Hesperus, keep it up, peace is always better

maven, what makes up that box of your, is it your brothers lol or somethin else like spirits or somethin, I wan know wetin u dey rely on abi na odesin

Chiogo doesnt need protection but she gets it. In fact she is the protector
