The awesome thing about having many siblings is knowing that they'll always be there for you. This is something I kind of inherently expect, which is probably one reason why my older sister not being there for me is so difficult.
However, let's focus on the positive of sibling relationships for this post!
Today, a friend of mine needed a ride somewhere, but I couldn't take her because I had to go to work. I knew she was desperate if she was calling me, so I immediately thought of younger sister #1, because I knew she wasn't working today, and I also knew that she would be dropping younger sister #2 back at uni, so I offered her help, immediately, without even asking #2 if she was ok with me offering her help. It was after I offered my sister's help and confirmed that she would be there to pick up my friend that I went and asked my sister if she would be willing to do the deed....in such a way that she knew there was little room for her to say no.
I'm pretty sure they hate me when I'm like this, but I can't help it! In this instance, I knew it wouldn't inconvience her that much, so I offered her help for a semi-emergency.
I do this often. When I set up fundraisers, parties, or volunteering events, I expect my siblings to help. There is no question about it. I expect them to help, they know it, and they usually deliver. When it comes to these situations, they are awesome, simply awesome. They always give their best, and deal with my ocd and demands without too much complaint. I really don't give them enough credit.
So yeah, my siblings are awesome, and it's a fantastic feeling to know that they will always be there for me when I need them, without too much complaint. Being part of big family has it's perks, and I really don't acknowledge that often enough. :D
