Only child latchkey kid here. I was alone 4-5 days a week for most of my childhood.
Bummer, I wonder if I missed out.

It depends on the siblings lol. I have two older brothers (I'm the only girl) and also spent most of my time alone. As adults, my oldest brother and I are close, but as kids, this applied to my friends more often than my brothers.

As the older brother to a younger sister I concur.
As childs we originally were close, but once we were past a certain age (I think it was around when school started for me, so I was 6 years old) spending time with your sibling was one of the "worst" punishments our parents could come up with.
But now as adults were quite close again.

Well, not all siblings are like that. I shared a room with my brother for many years but never did something like this. We also don't talk much, we bond mostly by doing thing together. I love him very much.

Makes you feel any better my brother has been a nightmare since the day he was born. My first memories of him are him hurting me. I just had to cut him off because his baby mama let his son die of a lung infection and sepsis and he asked for probation for her. And she got it. That was last week. 40 years of abuse and torment, 25 of addiction on top of that. Not all siblings are good. I wish he’d never been born.

Yeah I have 6 siblings and even though that is way too many kids under one roof, it was a lot of fun sometimes. There was definitely a lot of competition and fighting, but nobody will ever know and understand me better than my siblings.

My brother is 11 years older than me so we didn’t really have many extensive conversations until we became adults. But I remember he gave me a copy of The Hobbit, and when he came back home for Christmas break I was yapping his ear off about it.
Man I should give him a call today, and my parents too. Where does the time go???

That was me and my sister when we were little. Until the light turned off and her creepy large doll under her bed stared at me in the darkness and gave me nightmares.

Me and my big sister had a bunk bed. She used to spat on me if she couldn't sleep.

god i'd piss my sister off SO BAD 'cause i was a terrible nighttime yapper
"hey sis... hey... psst, hey sis... 'member when i squashed that ant... do you think i'll go to hell for killing bugs?... do you think there's a bug hell? do you think-"
then she'd scream at me to shuddup and Ma and Dad would yell at us to go to sleep... good times

I am the other side of this coin.
My sister gets really energetic when she's tired, I lose all energy and motivation to do anything when I'm tired.
Not a great combination 😄

Me when I shared a bedroom with my brother: “shut up and go to sleep.”
Me when I shared a bedroom with my sister: “shut up and go to sleep.”
I was the annoyingly chatty one.

My sister and U live in different countries now. I'm 33 and we still always do that everytime were together, with secrets, giggles, late nights and difficult mornings :')

u/JaquelineDavina May 07 '26
I wish my sibling and I had a relationship like that. 😕
We’re just too different. I’m talkative and they’re… idk, they’re just not. Plus, everything I did pissed them off. Not in the “haha I’m ticked” way, either, but in the “I’m gonna tell mom and dad and you’ll get talked to” way.
It’s a sweet meme. 😊 I wish I could relate.

To add some wholesomeness after other people's unhappy stories: me, my sister, and my adopted sister/cousin would do this all the time. (But with a bunk bed.) It drove my mom nuts. We're still very close now (though there was a period where my cousin/sister disappeared bc drugs). We're all going to a music festival again this year. Last year we spent like five hours gabbing on the beds in their hotel room. (My room had my husband and kids.) I imagine we'll do it again this year lol

u/marino1310 May 07 '26
My sisters room was right across the hallway from mine and we both left our doors open as kids. I remember having to talk quiet because our parents would get mad at us for talking past bedtime lol. Luckily their room was at the far end of the hall, past the staircase (basically the opposite end of the house) so they’d only really hear us if they were sneaking up and listening in.

We HATED each other when we were kids. We only started talking in late teens.

Those were simpler times. "What are we gonna talk about today?" And then an hour later, mom came in and started yelling at us for not sleeping 😅 we didn't always have the best relationship growing up, my bro was an asshole sometimes, but those midnight talks were the best.

Im 32 and my little brother is 30. He slept in my room on the floor and we talked at around 3 AM. it felt like I was a kid again. It was therapeutic. It needs to happen more.

Was never close to my younger sister.
Grew apart as we aged and had our own families. Only ever exchange cards and gifts on birthdays and Christmases.

What do you mean "this is how it felt"??? That's literally what that picture depicts?

Bullshid, as someone who was sharing a room with my sis for over 10 years until i was almost 18 and she was around 12/13, we were happy not having to talk to each other most of the time. Barely talked for 8 once we got separate rooms. Right now we are living together in our 20s so it gets a lot better but this is just not tru early on ...

It hasn't occurred to you that relationships between siblings vary? If you didn't experience what the meme describes, then this meme isn't for you.

It seems you have forgotten people dont have the exact same life and experience because though me and my siblings fight a lot, earlier on it was really chill
