If you're the youngest of 3 or more siblings and all of you are grownups, this poll is for you.
When making family decisions, how often do your older siblings overrule you?
@Indefinite_Article re: adult siblings... me: WTF? Once you're adults who TF gets to order another sibling around? Or manipulate them into doing something.
Where's the WTF are you talking about button? LOL None of us tell anyone else what to do, how to do it, or when.
We generally live in the same hemisphere, but not always.
@J_Windrow @Indefinite_Article In my extended family is a set of seven adult siblings who have had to cooperate through one parent’s lengthy illness, one sister’s mental and substance abuse issues, another sister’s rapidly advancing dementia… Y’know, family stuff that needs family to make decisions about the best way to preserve their loved ones’ quality of life.
@Aranciata_rosa @Indefinite_Article call my mother was dying. I was a social worker with a thanatology focus. I ended up moving back home for a while because it made sense that everybody else lived somewhere else. After I moved overseas my brother became the caretaker of our father when he developed dementia, because that made sense. When our father died, her brother was the administrator of the estate because he was a CPA and it made sense. It seems we are very pragmatic people.
