I'm the middle of three girls. We had times where we fought like cats and dogs. Since I've grown up, I have great love and respect for them. They are pretty amazing human beings and I'm very lucky to have them as sisters.
I also grew up with a feminist father and a family belief in democracy. We had family meetings and everyone got an equal vote. When my mom went back to work there was a chore list developed and we rotated who got to sign up first (for the choice chores). Whenever my Dad worked on our cars, we had to be there to watch and learn and sometimes help. He didn't want us to be helpless and not know anything about cars.
All of that being said, I really wish I had a brother or two. The reason is that since my Dad's death, I don't have much men energy in my life any more and I miss it. I come from a small family, neither sister are married or have kids. I have a lot of really amazing strong beautiful intelligent women in my life(benefits to being a lesbian) but very few men. I also want them to be good men, it seems there's very few of them around. It also seems that men and women being friends is a little suspect which makes me sad. I think my Dad probably spoiled me as far as what I think a good man is.
I'd be up for adopting a brother....Do you think that could happen? Let me know if you know any available.
