Oh Brother!

If you have a brother – he’s had an influence on your personality. I’ll tell you what he’s done...

It turns out having a brother is really good for girls. Women who grew up with a brother tend to end up more confident in social situations – especially with the opposite sex. Those sisters are also more likely to take on roles traditionally dominated by men and are a lot less intimidated by careers and hobbies that are stereotypically male.

And if you’ve got a sister – consider yourself lucky. Researcher Tony Cassidy says that his studies have found families with sisters have deeper bonds and better communications skills.
