*sigh*

you need to realize that often there's never that aspect of an older brother... they only represents evil

*burst out laughing * XD

Do they usually bully the younger sibs?

yeah kinda
It's like a constant war between the two of us for petty things like food, opportunities, ...
just contradiction spirit !

you always feel the need to drag down the other (▰˘◡˘▰)

definitetly. i haven't met an elder brother whose that protective. its more like 'if you date a guy he better not be ugly'(￣∇￣")

Yes, and as a older sibling I can confirm we do bully the younger siblings

aaah !! you evil !! you're the nightmare of any youngest sibling !!
Σ(っ°Д °;)っ

No, please no- they're just going to be your biggest nightmare. And so.. don't(▰˘◡˘▰)

Reading all the replies made me think that ideal older brother (protective and caring) really only exists on manga XD

I confirm this ( ･﹏･) as someone brought up among brothers it's often chaotic, annoying, and very competitive for no reason. If they're much older than you, you get babied and excluded sometimes and they do buy you food but this care comes with its downsides and constant fights :<

you should have met my grandpa. He was younger than most of his siblings (he had 2 sisters and 4 brothers I think...sometimes its difficult to keep the family history straight), but he was the epitome of kind, protective older brother.

I have to say when we (my older brother and I) were younger. My brother was protective of me. As we grew up our great aunt came o live with us. And she pitted the two of us against each other. We haven't since then been that friendly towards each other. Now I have tried to mend the bridge so to speak. But he wants nothing to do with mending and still hold grudges of how he's supposed to be better.

Italians favor the boys. So our aunt filled his head of how lesser I am.

oooh my mother has 9 sibilings and she was like that too

i guess people with alot of sibilings end up like that

dang that sucks i hope u guys mend soon and i hope your aunt gets a stick up her a** for that

She's been passed away for years. But absolutely destroyed our sibling love. At the age we are now of 36 (him) and 33(me), it's very hard to get him to talk about it and or want to fix it. I am hoping now that he's married he will see that I am trying to fix our relationship. But it's still like pulling teeth with no numbing agent.

well i do hope that gets better. and uve probably tried this but send an voicemail explaining what your trying to do

My bros tease me all the time and when I was younger, I literally had to hide my portion of snacks in my closet because they always eat everything. They also protect(?) me from other people, sometimes? But guess who made me cry the most in my entire life- yeah, them. I have a 9-year age gap with my eldest brother so now that we're older, it's pretty fun having them buy stuff for me, mostly food. Now it's brother = wallet.

looks like a kinda cool relationship !
I'll get jealous...
