People often remark that my sisters, Olive and Ivy, seem very similar, but if one looks a little beneath the surface, the differences in personality between them become apparent. To start with, Olive is ten years old whereas Ivy is only three, so Olive is more mature, larger, and is more educated than Ivy.

For example, when it comes to bedtime, Olive will stay on her computer and complain when told to go to bed, but Ivy will listen the first time without talking back. Finally, Olive is short-tempered, while Ivy is more easy-going.…
My brothers bond was different because of the years between them, 20 years to be exact. My brother Joseph is the eldest of ten siblings, Carlos is the 4th, Anthony the 9th and the youngest is Johnny.

Joseph practicing daily to master his skills of Karate and pretending he was the next Bruce Lee, Carlos was constantly singing his songs in the shower or around the house using a fake microphone, Anthony was a quiet kid and kept to himself most of the time.…

Your parents might let them get away with more than they ever let you get away with, or they might even take up for them more than they would you. Having your parents and relatives take up for them in times that you know they should be either upset or disappointed in them might make you try to point it out to them. It would create an internal battle with your emotions for your brother/sister and your parents and relatives.…
It became frustrating at times because we were always placed in the same school and programs up until high school. At times people wouldn’t even get the chance to remember our names and instead call us “Twins”. My sister, Tiara and I always hated it. It’s frustrating knowing that no matter what I do; I would never be seen as myself rather than “the twins”. In school we would try to do different hairstyles, wear different things even if we both liked it, just so people wouldn’t think we were the same.…

On the other hand, the younger daughter (15) is extroverted, outgoing, athletically inclined, academically average etc.…
For most of my life, I’ve always had three younger siblings. I say most because I was here first and over time my parents added to our crazy family. My sisters and I are something called Irish triplets. We are not actually triplets, born at the same time, but instead born at the same increment. All eighteen months apart, we were never emotionally close just physically close.…
