[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're pretty much like that. I think [b]key for us is that everyone accepts everyone else and none of us are judgmental.[/b] We all go out of our way to help out and no one complains that someone else doesn't do enough. We're all very different - we are multiracial, some straight and some gay, some of us had our kids and some adopted and have foster kids, education ranges from HS dropout to PhD, income range is pretty broad and we have a wide variety of interests. reading DCUM makes me feel really lucky.

No over competitiveness or jealousy that is acted upon. If you are able to be genuinely happy for each other, it helps.[/quote]

Yup this.  It helps that me and my siblings all get along well.  Part of why we get along well is we don't judge each other.  We also genuinely enjoy each other's spouses and treat them well too.

My DH's sister talks a big game about how they are "so close" and love each other, but it rarely translates to actually being loving and kind while together.  Mostly the spend a lot of time bickering.  I haven't bickered with either of my siblings since we were teenagers.[/quote]
