Growing up with siblings means having built-in best friends and worst enemies. You can pick on them, but the minute someone else does, you’ve got their back in a minute. You spend your childhood fighting over who gets to sit in the front seat, but as you grow up, they’re there to help you through heartbreaks and give surprisingly solid advice. Here are 10+ reasons why siblings are both the worst and the best:

1. They’re there when you need help

2. They fill you with rage

3. They never forget anything

4. Sometimes they’re shockingly clever

5. They can be petty

6. They’re great scapegoats

7. They’re understanding when things get out of hand

8. They will steal your seat

9. They’re the best to torture

10. Ewww…hugs

11. They don’t always believe you

12. At the end of the day, they’re still your friend

…still your friend AND you didn’t even have to pay them.
