Mumaaaaa… She is messing up with my things again. Please take her away!
Sounds relatable? Of course, you would be able to relate if you are not the only child of your parents! If there is one person in this world whom you love like crazy but at the same time, feel like punching, is your sibling. Even though you both indulge in seemingly endless bickering which makes you go nuts, you love the person with all your heart and would move mountains for him/her. Constant catfights, complaining, yelling and unconditional love – here’s why you share a bitter-sweet relationship with your siblings.

Through all the good to all the bad and the ugly – your siblings are always there to protect you. After all, they are the only people on Earth whom you can trust and count upon. However, sometimes, they are also the reason you might land into trouble. Some of the relatable instances could be – they end up revealing your secrets or they call your name in case of any trouble.
They Borrow your Clothes… But Never Return Them

It’s a common sight to find your siblings borrowing (stealing) your clothes straight away from your wardrobe. They even promise to return it, but we all know the truth. Well, borrowing is fine until you find that particular piece of clothing missing for weeks (or even months), only to later find it in their wardrobe. The real betrayal!
You have Someone to Vent to… But Sometimes, They Also Spill the Beans

Having a sibling is a real blessing as you have someone to vent out your personal, professional and all sorts of trouble. And when you are the younger one, sharing out does help because chances are, your elder sibling might have experienced something similar. Unfortunately, siblings have been known to share certain secrets, especially when you both are involved in a war of words.
You Understand Each Other As No One Else Can… But People Expect you to Be the Same and Compare you

Growing up in similar situations has made you both so much accustomed to each other that you both understand each other like nobody ever will (not even your parents). You both share a special relationship. However, at the same time, people expect you both to be the same. Say, if your sibling is the CEO of a company, you are automatically expected to be the next CEO in line. You are expected to share exact same traits as your sibling. This comparison may cause serious harm to your relationship.
You Always Have Someone for Guidance… But you Also Receive Unexpected Advice at Times

You have someone to lend you an ear and reply too whenever you need some advice. In case you need some advice, you have your sibling to rely upon. But, no matter how much you have grown up, you often receive unexpected advice also even when you don’t want to hear it or are not in the mood.
To sum up, through our ups and downs – our siblings are always there with us! No matter how annoying they get – they are also your other half who loves you unconditionally. With Raksha Bandha around the corner, tell them they mean the world to you and are irreplaceable. Express it well with some funky yet memorable Rakhi gifts.
