Re: Your Siblings and their Lives
a) how much involved are you in your siblings lives
**Aside from my parents, my siblings are my life. Like everyone else, I’ve been burnt by many people in my life and the only people that I have been able to continuously turn to for support were my siblings. I have two younger brothers and one younger sister. (I’m the eldest). We are all really close. We’ve moved around a lot since we were young which, I think, helped us get closed because it took time to make friends in school. We are all independent individuals, but we make sure each other are ok. And me, being the the oldest, feel responsible in making sure non of them are getting into any trouble or doing something they’ll regret later. My youngest two siblings come to me for advice more than they do to my mom, because they know I won’t judge them and have been through what they’re going through. And because they don’t want to be lectured by mama

b) Do you think the number of siblings matters when it comes to sharing the responsibility or helping a particular sibling in need?
I don’t think number matters as far as how many siblings you have or how many can step forward. But, the way I see it, if you’re raised together and share common chores as children, that should establish the understanding that when you grow up, you should be able to share responsibility for other tasks/ events/ occasions. That’s one thing I love about our culture. There is a huge importance on family and the need to come together in the time of need, be it emotionally, physically, or financially… Considering it is doable. Meaning, that their needs and their families (wife/ hubby/ kids) needs are met before they reach out to help siblings.
c) to which extent you think you can go to help them, and how do you think if the spouse objects you being helpful to the sibling that needs you in the hour?
**They are my brothers and sister. If there is anything I can do to help them, I will go above and beyond to help them before any one else. If there are any resources that I can use to help my siblings if they ever need it, I would absolutely give all that I can to help in what ever way I can.
They are my siblings. And by marrying me, my husband would have to accept them as his siblings, as well. Just as I would not stop my husband from helping his siblings, I would expect him not to stop me from helping mine. That said, same goes for his brothers and sisters (if he has any.) If they are in need and there is something I can do, by all means I would definitely help them.
If there was an issue where we couldn’t make time or we couldn’t afford to help our siblings, I would do any thing else I could to help them in any other way possible. **
