My siblings and I [Eng/ESP]

avatar
(Edited)

All things considered, I often like to see a relationship between siblings as a relationship that has the full embodiment of genuity. I don't need a reason to love my siblings. I don't need a reason to have an undiluted desire to take care of them. I just do these because they are my siblings and I can't afford to look the other way when they need my care or attention.

That's how I grew up and it gave me the perception that the relationship that exists between siblings is adorable. Sometimes I wonder what it's like to be an only child in a family. The feeling that comes with that can only be left to my imagination because I'm blessed with four adorable siblings, a brother and 3 sisters.

I will be giving snippets about the relationship I have with my siblings, but I need to get something off my chest. It's more like confusion;

  • I find it hard to understand why there is a sister who wants to imprison her brother.

  • There is also a brother who is hell-bent on making his sister's life miserable.

Just out of curiosity, what does it take for the relationship between siblings to get to this point? It's sad to hear stuff like that, right? I'm raising this concern because I've come across wave after wave of headlines about siblings who are always on each other's necks.

The truth is some people, especially those born into a polygamous family, do not seem to have a good taste of what a real relationship between siblings is like. There is plenty of evidence to prove this and if the ones I've seen are not enough, then... It shows I haven't been paying attention.

That being said, the relationship I have with my siblings is something I hold in high esteem and it's something I relentlessly want to improve because I've seen too many cases of siblings falling out and overlooking each other when they can easily help. I pray against something like that in my relationship with my siblings and I back up the prayer with action.

As the first child in my family, I've been in several situations where I had to play the role of Mum or Dad to my siblings. Even as a very young lad, I had the responsibility of taking care of my siblings. That was never an easy job and I don't know how I got to do it, but I did a really good job and I have been doing the job until now.

Growing up, there isn't many memories of physically going punch for punch with any of my siblings. I can only remember one or two incidents when it was unavoidable because I'm a highly disagreeable person and my siblings can also be like that. Haha. Despite that, we always have our way of resolving things and growing in love. We look out for each other's interest at all times and we still do.

As we both grew older, I noticed that there is already a transition in the way I relate with my siblings. My position in the family makes me a natural teacher to all my siblings. At the moment, I don't necessarily have to get a board and marker to teach my siblings what's right and what's wrong. The best teaching technique I use is myself... my lifestyle, my character and my attitude.

I teach with my actions and inactions and I'm quick to show disapproval when I notice that any of my siblings are going down a bad road. Thankfully, I don't often have to do that because they all do what they believe to be right and I'm always proud of the choices they make in life.

I'm a proud lad, blessed with an adorable brother and 3 amazing sisters. I always wish each of my siblings the best. I want them to be the best they can be and I always look forward to reuniting with each of them whenever an occasion calls for it.

A fin de cuentas, a menudo me gusta ver una relación entre hermanos como una relación que tiene la encarnación completa de la ingenuidad. No necesito una razón para amar a mis hermanos. No necesito una razón para tener un deseo puro de cuidarlos. Solo hago esto porque son mis hermanos y no puedo darme el lujo de mirar hacia otro lado cuando necesitan mi cuidado o atención.

Así crecí y me dio la percepción de que la relación que existe entre hermanos es adorable. A veces me pregunto cómo es ser hijo único en una familia. El sentimiento que viene con eso solo puede dejarse a mi imaginación porque estoy bendecido con cuatro adorables hermanos, un hermano y 3 hermanas.

pies-2796905_640.jpg

Estaré dando fragmentos sobre la relación que tengo con mis hermanos, pero necesito sacar algo de mi pecho. Es más como confusión;

  • Me cuesta entender por qué hay una hermana que quiere encarcelar a su hermano.

  • También hay un hermano que está empeñado en hacerle la vida imposible a su hermana.

Solo por curiosidad, ¿qué se necesita para que la relación entre hermanos llegue a este punto? Es triste escuchar cosas así, ¿verdad? Estoy planteando esta preocupación porque me he encontrado con ola tras ola de titulares sobre hermanos que siempre están en el cuello del otro.

La verdad es que algunas personas, especialmente aquellas nacidas en una familia polígama, no parecen tener un buen gusto de cómo es una verdadera relación entre hermanos. Hay muchas pruebas para probar esto y si las que he visto no son suficientes, entonces... Se nota que no he estado prestando atención.

Dicho esto, la relación que tengo con mis hermanos es algo que tengo en alta estima y es algo que quiero mejorar sin descanso porque he visto demasiados casos de hermanos que se pelean y se pasan por alto cuando pueden ayudar fácilmente. Rezo contra algo así en mi relación con mis hermanos y respaldo la oración con acción.

Como el primer hijo de mi familia, he estado en varias situaciones en las que tuve que hacer el papel de mamá o papá para mis hermanos. Incluso cuando era muy joven, tenía la responsabilidad de cuidar a mis hermanos. Ese nunca fue un trabajo fácil y no sé cómo llegué a hacerlo, pero hice un muy buen trabajo y lo he estado haciendo hasta ahora.

Al crecer, no hay muchos recuerdos de ir físicamente golpe por golpe con ninguno de mis hermanos. Solo puedo recordar uno o dos incidentes en los que era inevitable porque soy una persona muy desagradable y mis hermanos también pueden ser así. Ja ja. A pesar de eso, siempre tenemos nuestra manera de resolver las cosas y crecer en el amor. Velamos por el interés de los demás en todo momento y todavía lo hacemos.

A medida que ambos crecimos, noté que ya hay una transición en la forma en que me relaciono con mis hermanos. Mi posición en la familia me convierte en un maestro natural para todos mis hermanos. Por el momento, no necesariamente tengo que conseguir una pizarra y un marcador para enseñar a mis hermanos lo que está bien y lo que está mal. La mejor técnica de enseñanza que utilizo soy yo mismo... mi estilo de vida, mi carácter y mi actitud.

Enseño con mis acciones y omisiones y rápidamente muestro desaprobación cuando noto que alguno de mis hermanos va por un mal camino. Afortunadamente, no tengo que hacer eso a menudo porque todos hacen lo que creen que es correcto y siempre estoy orgulloso de las decisiones que toman en la vida.

Soy un muchacho orgulloso, bendecido con un hermano adorable y 3 hermanas increíbles. Siempre les deseo lo mejor a cada uno de mis hermanos. Quiero que sean lo mejor que puedan ser y siempre espero reunirme con cada uno de ellos cuando la ocasión lo requiera.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop Or Comma

Hola @kenechukwu97 gracias por tu participación.

La mejor técnica de enseñanza que utilizo soy yo mismo... mi estilo de vida, mi carácter y mi actitud.

Ser tu mismo es lo mejor que puedes hacer por tus hermanos. Ser tu mismo y respectar la individualidad de cada uno de ellos. Cada ser humano vino a este plano a experimentar una vida y los caminos de cada uno es diferente.

En cuanto a las preguntas que formulas al principio, pienso que aceptar a los hermanos tal y como son, respetarlos, asentir a lo que fue, tomarlos en nuestro corazón y agradecer que ellos están allí, pues fueron pilares fundamentales en nuestra formación de adultos, es la clave. La razón por la que actúan como actúan depende de muchas variables, internas y externas.

Well in my own family I'm the one that's always been thought by my older siblings as I'm the last child oh my parents...I would say siblings are like guides cause you know they're somethings you can't tell your parents and you need assistance well your siblings are always the best when it comes to situations like this...funny how when I was younger my and my immediate sister were always at each others neck but the older we grew we became much closer... relationship with siblings are sure the best and shouldn't be taken for granted!!

You are on point with your observation about the relationship that exists between siblings. It's really amazing to think of this relationship and how it unfolds. During their younger days, the fight together and even say things like "I Hate You". Haha

But, as they grow older, they become more attached and even learn to make sacrifices for eachother.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.

Hahah... Elder sisters can be like that. They love their younger ones so much, they end up punishing their younger ones as much as they love them. Haha. There is a disciplinary trait that can be found in most of them.

It's good you have someone like that around you. Have fun ✌️

Hello friend, hey you have fulfilled the role of big brother, you have had the great responsibility of taking care of them and you have been a good example, I am sincerely grateful.

You are right, there are families where the relationship between siblings is terrible, they hate each other, they fight, they seem to be from different wombs.

Undoubtedly the older sibling is a protector, a guide, it is not easy because he/she is always the support of the parents and the role model.

Thanks so much for inviting me to this contest. I'm glad I got to write about this and I would really appreciate getting a mention the next time a contest like this gets announced.

The rules of being the first child is never an easy one. It has not been easy to play this role, but I'm proud of every step I've taken so far.

God have been helpful in guiding me.
