Big siblings tend to be awful human beings, you're better off because the chance you'd get a good one is low.

Let me tell you - you aren't missing anything.

My big stepsister was seven when I was born. From the first, she was bossy, picky and almost like a mother My mom worked, and Linda had to help Grandma watch my baby brothers. She resented it. Mightily so. She moved out when she was 18 and I didn't se or hear from her again for eight months.
