The article focuses on the meanings that social actors attach to siblinghood in older age and the way of support between siblings in the period of life crisis or transitions (divorce, widowhood and illness). It is based on an analysis of data collected in Czechia in 2017–2019 from qualitative interviews and focus groups with participants aged 50+. The analysis highlights the symbolic level of siblinghood in old age and the gradual deepening of the relationship between siblings. The siblings provide each other mainly psychological support, the life transition or event do not significantly change their relationship. Rapprochement between them in old age is rather due to a progression in life course and a change in lifestyle. Siblings have more time for each other. They share common memories and the general experience of aging.

The households of young adults can be viewed as a natural environment where gender role transformation models can be found. After experiencing gender specific socialisation in childhood and adolescence, men and women enter a stage in which this structure more or less reverts to universalising practical requirements. These include financial security, focus on careers, securing a home and providing for household duties. The context outlined above is addressed in the paper via selected theoretical arguments and the review of relevant theoretical and empirical literature. The objective is to theoretically justify the mechanisms or principles resulting from specific elements present in the lives of solo-livers that can logically impact specific elements of gender subjectivity.
