Only children might think they're missing out by not having siblings, but if they knew the emotional and physical trauma that comes with growing up in a house full of brothers and sisters, they'd change their minds real quick. Siblings are experts at stealing your clothes (never to be seen again), fighting over who gets to use the bathroom in the morning, and shamelessly putting all the blame on you when your parents get mad. And don't even get started on having to share a room—it's pure, unfiltered chaos.

I've got a friend with two brothers who had to share one room. The oldest got the top bunk, while my friend and his younger brother shared the bottom. Can you imagine the fights that went down in that tiny bedroom? Siblings are ruthless. They'll throw their hardest punch at you just because they can and with zero hesitation. But hey, we like to think of it as character development. Because if you can survive growing up with siblings, you're pretty much unbreakable.
