I have a sister who is 3 years 10 months older than I am. When we were younger, we absolutely hated each other, and could not be in the same room alone (I proved it by stabbing her in the forehead when she pissed me off when I was younger). Now we can actually have conversations with each other.
I have a brother who is 1 year 7 months younger than I am. We have always been close.

I have one sister.
We're 2.5 years apart. I'm the oldest.
We're really close. I either want to stab her in the face, or she's awesome--no middle ground. ;] It's getting better now that we're older. We do a lot of stuff together, and she can be a lot of fun. She knows exactly where all of my buttons are, though.

I have two older brothers
they are 10 years older than me.
As kids, we weren't very close. The age gap felt too great so we never really did much together. (age 6, they are 16 and in high school, that kind of thing)
Now that we are older, our relationship is amazing. They are like hilarious best friends and protective brothers rolled into one.
I'm in college and they are "adults" but we talk every week, I miss them when I'm in college.
I dunno, I love being their little sister. I love being that much younger than them and having them!
Plus, they were always available to punch any guy in the face who broke my heart lol

I have three siblings.
Connor would be 11 years old but he died when he was almost 6. We were about 10 years apart and extremely close. My world was shattered when he died basically. Despite the age difference, we were actually "friends" and had so much fun together. He was my mother and step-fathers boy.
Camron is 7 years old right now and is my dad and step-mothers son. I am super close to him too. I see him at least once or twice a week and I have a blast with him -- we act like little kids together. But he's really mature for his age too so I can have good little conversations with him.
Emma is 3 1/2 years old and my mom and step-dads kid again, who they had after my brother died. I love her to death but she is a lot of work -- she's a little diva, I'm so used to being around boys so it's different with a girl. Plus I was always a tomboy growing up so we are totally different. But god she is cute and I love her to death. We live together so are automatically pretty close.

I have a brother who is 4 years younger...and our relationship sounds a lot like Jess describes with her sister. We absolutely did not get along growing up, save for maybe a year of peace when I was around 15 or 16, and I actually considered us friends. Now that I've moved out, it's taken us a year to even start speaking again. Maybe one day we'll be close, but I'm not so sure.
I also have a half-sister (dad's side) who is 7 years older, but I don't really count her. I didn't know her until I was 9 and have only met her a handful of times. I have tried to get in touch with her a few times but it never lasts.

Brother 4 years older
Twin Brother
Sister 5 years younger
My twin brother and I are the closest. I guess in school it was always a competition thing between us (competing for friends, comparing grades, sharing a car, etc). We did the same activities, we were both in the same Venture Scout group and both played trumpet in band (except I was first chair and he was last). Out of school & living apart we've gotten closer and now have the same group of friends. I'm not trying to "be better than him" like I did when we were younger. I'm so happy that he is such an easy going person to compliment my neurotic tendencies.
My oldest brother (4 years older) and I do not get along, especially when we were growing up. We were just plain mean to each other. We're better now that we only see each other every couple of years (he lives across the country). He is not the big brother that I wanted and needed growing up and I kind of resent him for that. I felt like I had to be the one to take care of everybody and play the oldest sibling role.
My little sister (5 years younger) and I are getting closer the older she gets. Especially now that she just started college and I just finished, it has given us something in common to talk about and share our experiences. I have a hard time realizing that she's an adult now at 18. I still see her as the 13-14 year old that she was when I went off to college. I'm kind of sad that during my college years I was more concerned with myself that I didn't really make an effort to watch her grow and mature.

I have three siblings. Two four years older who are twins. I was always the 3rd wheel growing up. Not old enough to do what they're doing but at the same time close enough for the been there, done that, style of parenting. As adults I am pretty close with my older sister but not with my older brother who I think is a failure of a human being without the empathy or desire to be a good person in any form.
My younger brother is again 4 years younger than me. We did not get along as kids and into our teenage years. We didn't like each other and we didn't pretend to like each other. We fought more often than we got along. As adults things are better, he's still a jerk from time to time but we don't have to put up with it from each other and we're both far more willing to walk away.

Hehehe...
I have an older brother who is 11..? years older then I am. We really don't get to see him that often, but we are still close. He's our annoying big brother, who is awesome to be around, and just makes our family awesome.
I have an older sister who is 9 years older, and she and I are close too. She currently lives halfway across the world, but we get along really well.
Other sister is 6 years older, and one of my best friends. I love being around her, and we've never really actually fought. She and I are extremely similar
Yet another sister who is 3 years older, and she is really difficult to get along with sometimes, but I love her so much, and she's one of my best friends as well. She and I are opposites
And my younger brother is 3 years younger, and he's my sidekick. He's the goofy one that can get me to open up in public, and we are the ones that do stupid stuff together.. "But we thought it would be fun!"
So yeah, my family is amazing. I love all of them, and look forward to the days we can all be together and yell while playing cards, or frisbee. Or all ganging up on our older brother. But seriously, we dominate at frisbee as a family.

I have three older brothers.
Matt is 26 (7 years older than me) living in Boston. I don't see him much and I'm not a huge fan of him. He really cares about us (his siblings), has a good heart, and I love him, but he's very judgmental of us and can be very loud and obnoxious (which a lot of people apparently like). He's just so incredibly different from me, and is not very accepting of those differences. He was the popular kid, very outgoing (he's a salesman), good looking, social, happy-go-lucky, won best dressed in high school, goes out every weekend etc. I am quiet, have social anxiety, don't wear skirts or dresses unless I have to, don't wear makeup, don't drink, can barely hold a conversation etc. We're polar opposites and Matt wants to know what's wrong with me and wants it fixed. So I like to avoid him. This is a more recent thing I think, since he went to college I guess. When I was little I think he was a good older sibling, but we never really had a close relationship or played together that I can remember, probably because of the age difference, though I do remember being included in some of my brothers' games and I enjoyed watching them play together. But the discomfort I feel with him is more recent.
Danny just turned 25, so 6 years older than me. He moved out of the house this year. He is very similar to me in many ways. We both have social anxiety and are quiet. We hold a lot of the same opinions so in any argument are usually on the same side. I like Danny a lot, I find him funny and easy to be around, we're in tune to each other I guess. The only big difference I guess is he's more easily stressed than I am and more confrontational, but that doesn't really affect our relationship. I think our relationship has gotten better as we have gotten older. Not that we had problems before, but again I don't think we really did much together due to the age difference.
Brian is 21, 2 years older than me. As children we did the most together and I was closest to me (though he was probably closest to Matt). As we got older (like middle school) Brian was a bit of jerk and picked on me a bit, typical brother-sister stuff. I found him annoying and mean for several years. Then around the time he went to college our relationship improved again and I like him a lot. Brian's just a really good person. He had anxiety (not social, just general) that he got help and meds for. So he's not judgmental. He likes playing the older brother part and giving advice (though I'm stubborn and don't like to hear it). He is mom's favorite (yes your children can tell) which is fine by me. We have a nice adult sibling relationship.
I wouldn't say I'm "close" to any of my siblings. We don't really talk about stuff or do anything together. But we all have different levels of getting along.
Now if you want insight into how THEY get along with each other, read on (some is just observation, some has been voiced), if you don't want to know stop here.
Matt: His relationship is best with Brian. They played a lot as kids, Brian being Matt's punching bag mostly, but Brian must have enjoyed it lol. Brian is social, likes to party at school, likes to talk about girls, is interested in being popular, etc. and likes to take advice on such things from Matt, so Matt likes him. Matt teases Brian but Brian finds it funny, he has a good sense of humor and can take a joke.
As I said Matt is very judgmental of me, and also my brother Danny as we are so similar. Therefore Matt doesn't really like Danny because he's not "right" in Matt's eyes. He's boring and too serious. From what he's told mom (and then she's told us) he is worried about us, thinks we're miserable and depressed.
Danny: Isn't fond of Matt. As kids they played a ton, but as they aged Matt was better than Danny at everything and do to the closeness of age this caused comparisons (not necessarily by our parents) and of course they were often involved in the same things because they are only a year apart. Danny holds a grudge against Matt. Danny always felt inferior to Matt, always in second place. Plus nobody likes to feel judged and Matt does judge and is very open about voicing his opinions on you, it doesn't make Danny feel good. They don't fight or anything, but they're not exactly friends. Danny likes Brian, same as me I supposed. They have some of the same interests and appear to find each other funny. Danny probably likes Brian the same as he likes me. Like I said it's hard to dislike Brian, he's just a good person with a good sense of humor.
Brian: Probably likes Matt the most, they do talk a lot about "stuff" unlike the rest of us. He has and has always had a lot of fun with Matt. He still gets ticked off when he finds out Matt has stolen his shirt or something, as Matt often did when he lived here, but their relationship is good. It's hard to tell exactly how Brian feels about me and Danny because unlike Matt he doesn't come right out and criticize us. I think he finds us rather dull because we don't go out and do stuff, but still likes us just fine, talks to us, is able to enjoy us.
More than you wanted to know I'm sure

Well, to start, I am 17. I have 5 siblings.
Andrew - Andrew is 21. We got along well when we were young-young. Around when we both became teenagers, we pretty much fought all the time. Typical thing like you see in TV & Movies. We had good times too, but they weren't too often, haha. Now he has moved across the country for college, and we only see him on Christmas back here. My parents go to visit him sometimes though. He's not really too interested in family at the moment anymore.
Chris - He's 15. We get along great, because he is like the male version of myself. We help eachother out when it comes to a new horse, convincing the parents. I'm hoping he'll help with a dog next!
Miranda - She's 6 years old. Evil little brat. I tolerate her, but she makes me so mad. I avoid her as much as possible without being mean, because I swear, how evil she is is just unreal!
Anna Marie & Lee Ann - The babies of the family! They are both 4 months old (twins), and the best babies ever! They hardly ever cry, and are always smiling! I love them to death! <3

I have a sister that is 3 years younger than me and a brother that is 21 years younger than me. My sister and I were ALWAYS at each others throats when we were growing up. Once I moved out, though, our relationship got about 10000000x better. We don't mind being around each other anymore lol.
My brother isn't so bad. He's just getting to an age that I find really obnoxious, which can get me really annoyed really fast if he's having a moment. Also, it's really awkward taking him places because everyone thinks he is my kid.

I have a sister who is a year younger than me. We don't get along. At all. My mom begged and pleaded for us to be friends growing up. She pretended we'd be best friends as we got older. It never happened.
I'm 90% sure I moved to the opposite coast so that I could get away from my sister. I love that no one here knows her, no one compares us, and no one has to deal with her.
I talk to her for 5 minutes every once in a while when I call home and she picks up the phone, but we really have nothing in common.

I have 5 siblings. The closest to me is 2 years older, the oldest is 18 years older.
We get along and were a very close family, so I see them all the time. My two oldest brothers, the age range is too big so we don't like hang out or anything. But everyone else i frequently talk to and we go shopping together etc.

I have a brother who is 5 years younger and a sister who is 5 years older. Our relationships have improved as we have grown older. We have been through a lot together! My sister just moved back home and that has put a tiny bit of stress on our relationship because of the way she acts and communicates combined with stealing my things.
