Having a brother or sister is the best thing in the world when you’re an adult. But, when you’re a kid, your sibling can feel like a mortal enemy. We took a deep dive into the world of brotherly and sisterly meme-ing to find some memes from kids about their familial nemeses and even more from parents who are concerned about the little ones of the family.
First, some stray observations: middle children stay bitter into adulthood, older siblings just want to be left alone, the baby of the family always has more fun, and the play-fighting never stops. If you’re the parent of more than one child or grew up with a sibling of your own, you’ll find these memes to be painfully accurate and extremely relatable. Here are 25 funny sibling memes that normalize the insanity of siblinghood.
Twinning
This sister finds the traditions a bit old. Why does the eldest always get to have the most fun?
Someone’s in Trouble
You otter know better! If you’ve ever been in this situation before, this meme is so real. For whatever reason, trying to calm your sibling always backfires.
The Underachiever
We all can’t be a star athlete or student, the rest of us must rely on our wits to get by. This cute cat is winning the game.
They Grow Up So Fast
If you grew up with a gaming console in the house, you likely remember the day when you could no longer fool your younger sibling into thinking they were actually playing with you. RIP beating the boss on the first try.
Stuck in the Middle
The accuracy. The baby will always be the baby no matter the age difference.
Sharing is Caring
Dealer’s choice, right? If you’re the sibling that’s gone to all the trouble of procuring refreshments, you get some say in how they’re doled out.
Parents Know
A sibling always knows when they’re seeing crocodile tears. There’s a certain validation one feels when the parents spot it too. Bravo!
Picture Perfect
You know you better act right when it’s picture time. The world around you could be dissolving into chaos, but posing for the pic will always get siblings to behave, if only for a moment.
Dinner is Served
Sushi? Well, maybe posing for a pic doesn’t actually keep the kids in line. Hunger is hunger. What can else can you say?
Looking Fresh, Sis
Getting to borrow clothes from an older sibling is like the name of the game for kids. This adorable SpongeBob meme captures the bliss of it all.
Fast as You Can
For most of us, getting ready in the morning as a kid was a race, a marathon, and a triathlon. It’s survival of the fittest and this meme gets it.
It’ll Be Fun
Whether or not you had good intentions as a child, you probably convinced your sibling to do something regrettable. To infinity and beyond!
Stay Afloat
As we mentioned, the older and middle children are still not over it. This somewhat macabre meme imagines time at the pool as a zero-sum game.
Attention!
It turns out that being showered with praise and attention from parents is never enough for the youngest. Here’s a perfect example of the baby needing to be coddled.
Give Peace a Chance
Hard as parents may try to foster a loving sibling environment, the kids will be kids. Their language is battle.
Sneaky
Mi casa es su casa doesn’t necessarily apply when siblings are in the mix. This won’t end well.
The Power
When the leave the oldest “in charge” things get weird. Did your older sibling ever let the power get to their head like this?
Be Sweet
Aw. These penguins are so cute too bad they’re little tattletales.
Doom
What a psychopath! We would never do our sibling so dirty.
The Power Part 2
Kids really do take the responsibility of watching their younger brethren seriously. Perhaps, they take it too seriously?
A Classic
We couldn’t do a sibling meme roundup without including this timeless classic. In an effort for complete and utter fairness, children often miss the forest for the trees. However, it’s hilarious.
Leslie Jordan, Come Through
A sibling’s work is never done. Annoying the others is a fulltime job and this meme is ready to clock in.
