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 in the extended family we have a variety of severely disabled individuals who cant function who have care plans set up. After I became an attorney, I suggested to sibs that they needed to get lawyers to deal with some of these issues. I couldn’t because I wasn’t licensed in their states. My father had dementia, and lived with my brother because bro was available. We seem to be very pragmatic and have specialty areas. Not all families are that way.
