Born for the same mother siblings teach how to share and care, how to interact, how to negotiate and arrive at win-win situations. Siblings are collaborators and conspirators. They are playmates, object of pride and sources of envy. Siblings teach mysteries of girls and puzzles of boys. Siblings teach life skills to each other inside an institution called home.
Siblings also fight with words, with limbs, compete, and can develop hostility which frustrates parents. Taking sides, threatening, and accusation by parents add fuel to fire the fire destroy sibling relationships. Persistent Sibling rivalry in to adulthood can be devastating. Parent’s expectation, labels and favoritism destroy sibling relationship. The demands of spouse, children, career, home, money problem, troubled teenagers’ and many other realities of life puts sibling relationship on the back burner and also increases competition.
Siblings are Gods gift to be nurtured and enjoyed.
Never lose them, cherish them for life.
