I guess I could do something about it or switch lubes or something... but... I don't really care.

Yup, just graduated HS and will be going to University of Maryland. I think Sammi will blossom when he's gone ;)

you mean she hasn't blossomed yet? sorry to keep talking about your kids but I think Sammi sounded like a bunch of fun and comfortable in her own skin- something I can't say about every teen I meet.

congrats to the young lad.

Her brother seems to take delight in beating her down, belittling all her accomplishments, etc. I think with him away she will come into her own.

Why do big brothers have to be that way??

I know the feeling.

I have THREE big brothers. Imagine my life. I think it either made me tough or very short

or it made you hide in a box.

I've found big sisters to be just as much "fun."

But I expect Sammi's big brother is nearing the age where he'll start to ease up on her.

I also have three older brothers (and one older sister). It's amazing I survived childhood. :rolleyes:

Congrats, Nicole, to your son. And especially congrats to Sammi!

Three big brothers, two big sisters. But the large age difference between me and the one sister and all the brothers probably made a huge difference. They all pampered me. :) It's taken me many years and one PhD to get treated like an equal. Some days I'd trade a few of them in on a dog, but most of the time, I'm glad my folks just kept having kids. ;)

Three older brothers and one older sister for me. And I'm also the baby of the family. Two of my brothers who are 1 year and 2 years older than me like to tell their kids that the reason that I am successful in life is because I survived getting picked on constantly and even survived getting pounced on by them. They claim that it made me tough so I can handle anything. :p
