[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could tell the ones in college who had sisters. Down to share clothes, makeup, whatever. Growing up with a sister, you're used to it.

I love my sister so much. I have many girl friends- but nobody comes close to my sister and never can. I also have a brother but he is MUCH younger than I am (19 years younger) so I don't have a brother-sister bond with him. More like cousins, or an aunt/nephew. It's definitely not as tight as my bond with my sister. She and I went through life together. We're the only ones who get what it was like to grow up with our parents and why we turned out the way we did. I think losing my sister would almost be worse than losing my spouse, and possibly as bad as losing my child. [/quote]

In what way was the hair and makeup of girls with sisters different?  I have a sister and I never noticed a difference.  I suppose if someone had an older girl advising them about fashion and stuff it might show, but that's not limited to a sister and it wouldn't apply if the sister was younger or not into that stuff (which--gasp!--some girls aren't!)  I have an older sister and a younger brother and I actually have the relationship you are describing with my brother more than my sister.  My sister's great and I love her, but we're pretty different.  I talk to my mom and my 2 best girlfriends at least a couple of times a week and my brother probably once a week, but my sister maybe once or twice a month.  [/quote]

No, I meant, the girls who had sisters were willing to share their clothes and makeup. It wasn't even a spoken thing, it was just a given- before going out, we'd all rifle through each other's closets and use each other's makeup. The ones with sisters did this just out of habit and instinct. But I had a friend once whose roommate didn't have sisters and was highly confused when my friend started suggesting them swapping clothes to go out. [/quote]

Please.  This is a total stereotype.  I have one brother.  I've got lots of very close girlfriends from childhood, college, camp, etc.  As a kid I loved having sleepovers and I was definitely a sharing makeup type of girl in college (in my sorority house).  I'll change my clothes or pee in front of a girlfriend or spend hours on the phone talking about very intimate details.  To this day I still keep in close touch with my BFFs and I have plenty of newer local mom friends too.  I guess we don't share clothes that much anymore, although I have swapped maternity clothes or something like a special occasion purse, and we share a lot of ourselves in other age-appropriate ways.  I'm the complete opposite of the "girl who doesn't get along with other girls."  DH is my best friend but my girls are a close second, along with my brother (my only sibling).  I'm close with my mom too.  But other than DH and my brother all my closest people are women.[/quote]
