How many siblings do you have?

How many siblings do you have? Brothers, sisters, or both? Are they older, younger, same-age (twins, triplets, etc) or a mixture?

I have three siblings, all from my parents’ first marriages. Two half-brothers, and a half-sisters. They range from 13 to 19 years older than me.

Seven. One brother below, one brother and five sisters above.

By “round up” I meant “count half-siblings has full siblings”. :smack: Sorry I didn’t phrase it better.

Do step siblings count? This can get messy, as I have 1 full sister, 2 step sisters who I was raised with and I count as my sisters, plus a step sister and step brother who I’m not close to. Who counts?

Two: an older brother and a younger sister.

Two, a brother and a sister. I’m the oldest.

One sister, five years younger.

I had four. I’m down to three now, and you said how many do you have, not how many were born into your family.

One younger sister. We’re 11 years apart. Same parents. They had us : Me when they were 19/ her when they were 30.
The folks are still married and don’t seem to hate each other, which is sweet.

I’m 40.

:slight_smile:

I have five who I count as siblings: One brother above, one sister below, then an acquisition (stepsister) and two mergers (half brother and half sister). I also have two acquisitions who were so late acquired that they are more like cousins than siblings, one older stepsister and one younger stepbrother. And just to round things out I have a younger ex stepbrother but I don’t know where he went, which made me sad for many years. It was harder to lose him than to lose his mother \as she was something of a loon.

(For those following along at home, dad remarried twice, both times to women with kids, and is now a widower; mom remarried once and is still married)

So technically I have 8 but I only count 5 as siblings.

I’ve got an older stepbrother, a younger stepsister, (mom’s remarriage) a younger brother, and a newly acquired younger stepsister (dad’s remarriage). The youngest stepsister is the only one who doesn’t really feel like a sister yet; she’s 6 years younger than me, we’ve never lived in the same house, and she spent a couple of years (dad dated his now-wife for quite a while) living with her dad in another state. I like her and wouldn’t mind more of a sisterly bond, we just haven’t put in the years yet to get there. I also have a sister-in-law who feels more like a kid sister - she’s 12 years younger than my husband, 11 years younger than me, so I’ve known her for almost half her life at this point. I’m a big believer in family being what you make it, not just what you’re born with.

Two.
One hasn’t spoken to me in the past two years, and I am not particularly upset about that fact.
I speak with the other on a regular basis and he visits once or twice a year.

Two. One brother, two years younger than me, and one sister, four years younger than me.

I have a sister, she is 3 years younger than me.

You’re “winning”, so far (or losing, depending on your perspective). BTW, does this explain why you became a runner: to get away?

I have one sister and one brother, both younger than me.

Two younger half-brothers, 5 and 8 years younger than me. I grew up apart from them, but now that we’re all adults, I really do think of them as “brothers”.

I’m an only child. :frowning:

Two sisters (possibly three if you count the one that died shortly after birth), one half-brother via my mum, one half-sister via my dad*, three half-brothers via my dad*, two step-sisters, three step-brothers.

So, 12 or 13 depending on how you count it.

*That I can confirm. There may be more.

One younger brother.

It was the late 70s/early 80s and my parents were into the whole zero population growth thing.
