Yes. Resentment (and cute butt), but I also get the vibes that she is expecting a reaction from Sven. Well, she got one!
--- Quote from: iduguphergrave on 04 Apr 2011, 10:40 ---Oh, and one last thing: Isn't it a little odd for a brother and sister to share the same room?
--- End quote ---
Not necessarily. Depends on how well off the family is. Also the previous generation often lived in tighter quarters (may be not so in the US?). I shared a room with little Sis until I was 10, she was 9, and our parents could afford to buy that townhouse. Dad shared a room and an attic with 4 siblings, but that was just after WWII, when the nation was in bad shape.

True enough, my dad grew up in a two bedroom house with three brothers and two sisters, at one stage he and his younger brother had to sleep in the dining room. I had to share a room with my older sister for about three years before she got her own room. Hell, a friend of mine from school has 9 brothers and sisters and I'm sure they didn't have that much room on their farm for everyone to their own rooms. You make do with what is available at the time, its as simple as that.

Good old B43. Even runs until 2am on the weekends. I still ended up walking home some nights. :angel:
iduguphergrave:
Ah, I see. I was raised as an only child (even though I have a bunch of half-siblings) so I really don't know what's normal in a multiple-child household.
--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 04 Apr 2011, 11:28 ---after all there is about a years difference between Dora and Sven, which I think is more unusual by itself.
--- End quote ---
That I can tell you isn't terribly unusual; my grandparents had 8 children almost back-to-back, so there's about a year's difference between them all. My grandparents are also catholic, and I think the Bianchis are too (if the name of Dora's high school is any indication); they crank out kids fast.

As would I, also in the UK.
