@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.
@Indefinite_Article Not all families are the same. While I am the youngest, I am also the most strong willed. I am the one with the most education, and yet I am the one with the least amount of financial resources. If the others plan something and they want me to attend, they find out what it would require to have me attend assuming I am on the same continent and in the same hemisphere. That said, if I want my siblings to do something with me, I make accommodations for them.
