I think the worst thing was my parents deciding to have another kid to play with me. It just meant I had to babysit and take care of a crying child and watch him get attention.
I was very introverted growing up so having to look after a younger sibling meant I couldn't play in my own imaginary world.
Like why even have kids if you're not going to play with them.

What was the age gap?
Two years. He was fine, just not fun when you're not allowed to have friends your own age.
Oh God what the fuck? Sorry that sucks
Thanks, comrade. It's not a big difference now, but at 8 and 6, you're in totally different worlds.
But that's the cool thing about adulthood. Even if you didn't have the boundaries you liked as a kid, you can better control them as an adult.
how do you feel about having grown up with a sibling now?
I think now that I can set boundaries, we can be friends now, but I don't enjoy him when my parents are present. We all kinda go back into old habits.
