sereneDay 11 – Your siblings, in great detail
I have three siblings: a sister (actually, half-sister) who's four-and-a-half years older than I; and two younger brothers, three and six years younger.
About my sister, the less said by me, the better. She's the mother of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wtfpotatoes and Munchkin The Elder.
The older of my "little" brothers is super-smart, very funny, and a much-sought-after finance wizard for car dealerships. He goes into failing dealerships and turns them around; it's really kind of impressive. He's been married around 17 years to a really nice woman, and they have eight great kids. I am sad that I don't see more of them all; I feel like I've given up that part of my family ties by being bad at visiting and keeping in touch. Then again, they're devout Christians in a pretty evangelical way, so my life isn't a comfortable one for them to be around a lot of the time. *shrug* Anyway, I love my brother a lot, and there were times in my youth when he was my closest friend. He's sharp-tongued, hardworking (70-80 hours a week!), and an odd mix of devoutness and worldliness.
My baby brother is the sweetest, and doesn't even mind being called "baby brother", even though he's approaching 40. He's a big teddy bear with a lovely wife and three kids. He gets along with EVERYONE. He was the peacekeeper in childhood, and even though he took my dad's leaving the hardest, he's managed to develop a really close relationship with him in adulthood. He is a cable installer, and he moved his family to Washington state so they could afford a nice house in a good school district. He's stubborn, loving, and an inveterate fan of rap music since before we knew it was called that.
