Does anyone genuinely call their siblings sis, sister, little/big sis, bro, brother, little/big brother etc. as constantly as this appears to be portrayed in media? I’m extremely sceptical. Now, affectionally addressing them by something like “slug”, “toad”, “fool”, and “bitch”, or even dare I say it, their gotdamn name, is, from my experience, so much more natural.
ok guys, reblog and put in the tag how you name your siblings
My Mum addresses all of her older siblings by their title and the younger ones by their names – so the older ones are like Eldest Sister, Eldest Brother, Second Brother etc etc except, of course, in Hokkien. I have the worst time attempting to address anyone properly by their title but have managed to get away with calling them Auntie or Uncle in English for years now because… well. I’m English and don’t understand Hokkien.
