Siblings once you leave?

I can kind of relate to this. I am the youngest of 4 boys. 2 have already finished college and 1 is currently in his sophomore year of college. My mom definitely let me do a lot more stuff than she did my brothers. I think that goes with the territory of parenting, though. You become more relaxed as the years go on, IMO.

As to the whole sibling relationship thing. My relationships with my brothers have definitely become more “mature” since they went off to college. It seems that we are much more willing to talk to each other and just hang out (not that we didn’t talk to each other or hang out before). We don’t mess around/horseplay/do “boy stuff” anymore since they went away to college. I don’t know if what I said makes sense but all I’m trying to say is that, yes, your relationships with your siblings will change. At least they did for me.

Oh, and I must say that I love being the youngest. Being spoiled rocks!
