Assignment #5: Reflection

Something I’m wondering about is the relationship between siblings. I have a very close relationship with my sister. We have always been close and attatched to each other. We have a very good relationship and we are always there for one another. We are sisters who are 2 1/2 years apart (she is older) so I have always wondered if our age played a part in our relationship. 1. Does gender play a part in sibling relationships? For example: Brother/brother, sister/sister, brother/sister2. Do siblings who are close in age closer to each other than those that are more separated by age?3. If the siblings family is close knit does that affect relationships the children have with each other? 4.Do siblings become closer as they grow up or do they tend to drift apart more as they grow up?

I like the topic you picked to write your post on. I am very close with my sister as well so I’m interested in the subject too. However, you say your sister and you have always been close and attached… well, my sister and I played a lot and had fun when we were younger but pretty much thoughout her teenage years we were enemies. And now we’re closer than ever.

This is a great topic and I would be interestd to see what you find in your research. I have an older sister that is 6 years older than me and a younger sister that is 2.5 years younger. I really think time and distance have a lot to do with it when there is a gap, like with me and my older sister

Hey–
Your topic is really interesting and I would really like to know what you find. I have 4 younger sisters, and I would definitely say that I am closer with my sisters who are near my age because we have similar things to talk about. However, as my sister who is six years younger than me gets older we find more and more things to talk about. So I think that with time your relationship only grows! Great post!
