Please share your experiences with sibling relationships.. how much does your brother/sister mean to you? What’s the role they play in your life?

As kids, siblings have bonding. Once married, things change for sure. After your siblings have kids, things will change drastically --now spouses tell their partners to work for kids and la familia. Once these kids become adults, it is going to be a rough ride. That's why in Telugu, there is a saametha: pudutha annadammulu perugutha daayadulu": here, "daaya" = enemy. In many rural areas, the biggest enemies one can have are your siblings. 

Some anecdata:

I have three distant cousins, who are siblings to each other, and who are very older than me.  Before marriage, they were totally different. Now both kids of  the second sibling  in this set went to IIT, and are doing well. Now the this IITian's parents don't even let their IITian kids to talk to his cousins--one of them works as a soldier in Indian Army, another one some accountant somewhere.  Even this cousin was so different before marriage; in fact, he used to bring sweets to my grandma, because my grandma is a sister of his grandma. Once married, he changed 180 degrees opposite.

Another example from Africa:

An African friend helped some guy in Paris during 1970's to get into top accounting profession there, through personal connections. In fact, his sister married this accountant guy, and the latter got papers through this sister. Later he went back to his country in West africa--a country that produces 47% of the world cocoa. This country had a public cocoa board, which had lots money. Some PM disbanded it; in the process, this accountant guy in collusion with other politicians made $100M money off it. This African friend even introduced these politicians to this accounting guy. Now his sister and her hubby are so rich (this hubby had kids with two other women too). Anyway, this African friend's fortunes changed in late 1980's; now he has to work to support himself. When he sought some help from his sister, she did not want to help him at all. That's how it goes.
