    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

    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.

    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.
