IF YOU GREW up with a heap of siblings, you’ll know.
1. Alone time was not an option
Growing up in your house, there was never a dull moment. A dull moment = nobody annoying you in some shape or form.
You had to share EVERYTHING.
2. You could barely do anything without it getting back to one of your siblings
Because you all went to school in the same area and had many of the same friends, every single tiny thing you ever did or any bit of mischief got back to them.
3. Dinner time was an exercise in shoving as much as you could down your throat
Seconds? LOL. Eat fast or don’t eat.
4. You hid things before someone else got the chance
Mam just got back from shopping, GO FOR THE MEANIES!
5. You most likely slept on a bunk bed for most of your childhood
6. You almost needed a scheduling system for the bathroom
You’d die of shock if the door wasn’t locked when you needed it.
7. Hand me downs were your whole wardrobe
Unless you were lucky enough to be the oldest. And your stuff gets stolen all the time. ALL THE TIME.
8. In school, your older siblings reputations automatically became yours
I expected better from Cliona Burke’s little sister…
- your principal, probably.
9. Going out together was a massive operation
Even if it was just to school.
10. Boyfriends and girlfriends had to be eased into meeting the whole family
It’s time for 20 questions!
11. At least you are never without company on family occasions
12. Even if group photos are basically impossible
13. You grew up fighting over the toy in the cereal, the ring in the brack, cream on the milk, and who was stuck with the crappy seat in the middle
14. Buying presents at Christmas time is ridiculously expensive
Can we not do a secret santa lads?
15. But you wouldn’t change a bit of it, you were guaranteed company
