“Siblings that say they never fight are most definitely hiding something.” (Lemony Snicket). Although families love each other unconditionally, we all secretly categorize each other’s positive, negative, and most of all, annoying traits. Whether you live in a house with a single sibling or multiple, our opinions are always the same.While categorizing these traits we often give them nicknames as well. The attention seeker, the stealer, and the messy one are three of the most irritating. The first type of annoying sibling is the attention seeker. This sibling is consistently trying to oneup their other sibling(s). They have a tendency to become their parents' favorite. They will not stop until they are positive they have achieved that …show more content…
goal. The interrupter, the competitive one, and the try-hard are ways the attention seeker can be subcategorized. Starting off with the interrupter; this sibling is repeatedly interrupting your stories just so they seem like they have a more superior life than their other siblings. For example, a family is sitting at the dinner table and someone is in the middle of a story discussing how their day went, the interrupting sibling will be guaranteed to say something in the middle of their story, as if they were never talking in the first place. The next way a sibling tries to gain attention is by being competitive. This sibling is always one upping their other siblings in either academics and or in athletics. This sibling most likely has the most confidence, so they have the desire to be cocky all the time. They either show off their A+ report cards, sports trophies, or their first place art project. This sibling always makes their other siblings seem like they are in their shadow and that they will never be able to reach any of their achievements. The last type of the attention seeking sibling is the try-hard. It is guaranteed this sibling is their parents' favorite because all they do is listen to their parents and always do as they say. Habitually, this sibling does their chores without asking, never disrespecting their parents, and their parents regularly consider them as a role model to their other siblings. This sibling is the one all other siblings hate the most and is always getting on their nerves because that one sibling makes all the other siblings look lazy. Having a stealer as a sibling can make someone’s life a daily scavenger hunt. The stealer of the family will go to extreme maneuvers to get what they want. A warning sign is when a sibling is up, ready, and out the door before it’s time for breakfast. This sign usually means that a sibling has stolen an article of clothing from your bedroom. A stealer not only takes your clothes without asking, but doesn’t care enough to make sure the clothing that they took gets washed and put back without anyone noticing. The outfit planned out in your head the night before has to be frantically changed. The effects of the stealer is being later to school and rushing to get to your desired location. Another way a sibling can affect your day is when they take your phone charger. A phone functions as an alarm clock, a planner, textbook, and a way to communicate with people. Starting your day with a phone on low battery and managing to find or access a charger is not the best way to start your day. Going to desperate measures to try and avoid these events will only work temporarily because the stealer will always find a way around it. Although the attention seekers and the stealer are all annoying traits found in siblings, the worst type of annoying sibling is the messy sibling.
The messy sibling is the brother or sister that never cleans up after his or herself, is always unorganized with everything, and never gets in trouble for the messes they leave behind! Whenever there is a trail of mud on the clean kitchen floor, an ocean of clothes covering the ground, and a bathroom that never gets cleaned up, it is most likely because the messy sibling. Messy siblings are the type of people that are lazy about typical day-to-day chores. They never want to get up off the couch to simply wash the dishes in the sink, put groceries away, and in general help keep the house clean. Tripping over toys, clothes, trash, and anything else imaginable is especially irritating because of how unorganized the messy sibling is. When the messy sibling is constantly looking around the house for the same pair of headphones, the same video game, or the same movie, it’s all because they are extremely unorganized and they are constantly drowning in their own messes. At school, when the messy sibling opens his or her locker, and anything from stray papers, gum wrappers, or books fall out, this shows how unorganized they are even outside of the house. The most irritating trait of the messy sibling is that they can leave a mess in the bathroom, the kitchen, the basement, or anywhere else, and they do not get blamed for it! It is always …show more content…
the perfect sibling with absolutely no flaws at all that takes the blame for their laziness! It is never fun to be yelled at by angry parents for something that the messy sibling has done! The messy sibling is by far the most annoying sibling! Siblings can be the most annoying people in the world, but every family loves each other dearly no matter how much they may fight.
Most people who grow up with siblings are able to notice annoying behaviors of their sibling’s after years of living with them. I can’t think of anything else to put here!!ahhh!!! Attention seeking, stealing, and messy siblings are only a fraction of annoying behaviors found in siblings. ←Good thesis restatement?? idk if you guys want to change it or
no.
Have you ever been affected by a sibling or met someone that has? Weather you have or not, you should know that there are many effects caused by having a sibling. Well in the book Tangerine By Edward Bloor, Paul is affected by his brother Erik on many more occasions than any sibling should be. In this book Eriks choices affect Paul by forcing him to look like a freak, become embarrassed, and feel like a loser.
I was the oldest child of two by three and a half years which led to a sense of my knowing best– as well as my sister’s habit of thinking she did. Like most elder siblings, I became practiced at contradicting whatever statement she made. I took pleasure both in “winning” our squabbles and in the act of learning how to win. I feel certain that, had I been an only child, I would not disagree so often as I do. Nevertheless I was not angry or contrary; I tended to confine my audible arguments to my sister or close
mothers. Siblings, especially twins, share more than just parents. There are certain things that people have to just learn to accept in life, and the similarities between immediate family can be hard to acknowledge. Every person is a unique individual, but parallelism between family is bound to happen, whether good or bad.
My brother and I have always been at each other’s throats all the way back to our forced meeting on the day of his birth. Do not get me wrong I love him and if he needed an organ I would be first in line with the promise to bug him about it until one of our deaths. As siblings we always have something sarcastic to say to each other, when the opportunity arises it never fails. Getting physical and pushing each other around is not a foreign concept to us.I mean if you can not wrestle with a sibling, are you really siblings? Are you really family? For as long as we have been forced to be siblings, physical situations have never gone too far, until 2008. In that year I was the victim of what many people would label criminal behavior.
This often creates a web of jealousy amongst siblings that play out for the rest of their lives. The two authors are criticizing the relationships between siblings and are asking the question: should we have multiple children, if it causes so much drama and conflicts within the family?
How would a society mature if it did not advance alongside technology? This is one of the questions impressed upon me while reading an excerpt from American poet and author Robert Bly’s book The Sibling Society. Bly defines a sibling society as a society that is filled with half-mature adults filling the void left by improper role models. They use internet and electronic entertainment as a substitution for the values and convictions that would have been imparted in them by an authoritative figure. Although we have an alarming amount of immature adults, we are not becoming a sibling society due to technology. With the use of technology, recent generations are now growing up with an awareness of the issues in the world around them, helping them

A sibling is, at most times, seen as someone who knows you more than anyone, is your anchor, and is your best friend. Siblings have a bond unlike any other. They are always there for each other and have a unique relationship. However, when that relationship exists throughout your childhood and then disappears, a void is present in the absence of your sibling. How that void gets there and the events afterwards are like riding a roller coaster.
Generally, sibling rivalry can be quite simple in relationships. It’s easy to generate within a family, especially one with two or more siblings, because
Therefore, a child that has siblings is not as bossy as the only child. Children that have brothers or sisters know that not everything can be done at that second. There are two other children in my house besides me, and my mom can not do everything at once. I am not bossy towards my brother and sister because I do not like having people boss me around. I am considerate of my family’s feelings. If I need my work uniform clean, then I have to let my mom know well in advance so she has time to wash it. I appreciate my mom doing my laundry. When my mom doesn’t have time to wash my clothes I put in the extra effort to help her out.
Many people grow up with a sibling, in fact eighty percent of people in the United States and Europe grow up with a brother or sister (Dunn 1). Most people can agree with the statement that growing up with siblings has impacted their development and personality. This topic has been researched by psychologist and sociologist for decades; which has provided both positive and negative outcomes of growing up with siblings. Children can benefit from growing up with siblings because they can learn from their siblings, gain social skills, and their siblings may become a valuable asset in one’s life.
Siblings should always there for each other, willing to drop anything to help one another. Having a strong bond between siblings is one that can never be replaced. Even through tough times, siblings can overcome their differences. Most importantly, siblings provide each other with a built-in best friend. These are all important principles for a good sibling. I believe I am a good sister because I fit the criteria for what every sibling should meet.
Growing up with two older brothers taught me to be unselfish, patient, and respectful. Being the youngest of three, I learned I would not always get what I wanted. I would have to be patient and wait my turn for a lot of things, such as the telephone and bathroom. I was glad that I was able to grow up with siblings to teach me these lifelong lessons. All three of us had to be respectful of each other or we would risk getting in trouble with my parents.
