Why do they torture us!?

Black Dragon · 01-13-2002, 12:16 PM

Why do younger bros and sisters have a habit of torturing us, is it a punishment for doing something, I think parents get out of hand with having more than 1 or 2 kids. I only have one little sister and she's annouying enough, I used to know someone who had 6 bros and 2 sisters, My mom had 3 sisters and 1 bro. My dad had 6 sisters and 1 bro. Its alittle overwhelming to have so many siblings. But they don't have to be so annouying, why do they do it? WHY?!

Because they are whining more than Anomen and Aerie in BG2.

It's something genetical passed on to every child but the first. Some weird combination causes things like annoying behaviour, tendency to irritate and an uncontrollable urge to delete savegames of (preferably) the older children...

Groups tend to relate better, since tasks are spread out, and one member can compensate and fill the role of another when circumstances permit. But in small families of only two siblings, there's bound to a sense of envy between the two, and the only arbiters are the parents, who are seldome fair--being, after all, just larger kids, themselves.

Well I am the oldest of 4 and I have seen my share of ""torture" from both sides... for about 3 years when I was 13 and my sisters were 9 & 6 there was a guerilla warfare in the house... I think that was about the time my parents decided that was it

I'm not saying that I was an angel but then neither were the gruesome twosome

I have one older brother (2 years older), we used to get along awfully, but since we both have a computer in our room (he bought his own, the family comp is in my room) many of the minor skirmishes have stopped. Now, the only problem is when HE wants to play some game or another multi-player and I want to post on IW or read...

he can be pretty annoying, won't take NO for an answer.
