I thought that it was something that passes as you get older but seems like sometimes it gets worse. I look at my children now, and when they get mad at each other oh you can call it quits until one walks away or I stop them. I don't get along to well with my sisters, but as long as we are a distance from each other then we are cool. I guess its just life. I think is sad that some people just can't get pass childhood. "You did this when we were 5 and I'm not going to forgive you!" Sound pretty sad if one of you passes away and you could never find it in your heart to forgive and forget. I love my family but I really love them from a distance. LOL! But I just wanted to hear what some of you think about sibling rivalry. I would love to hear some imput on thimgs you did or do to prevent them.

Dear laydlexius, This is true when we were young, we brothers used to fight with each other but not with our sisters. When we grew up we are all good friends helping each other. Visiting their family and they visit us every year. Actually we had all forgotton the children enimity. We used to talk only the good old days. This is happening in all family but in certain family sibilings never fight. The beauty of it is that those sibilings fight at the young age when they grew up they become very good friends whereas those sibilings never fight at the young age, when they grew up they keep distance from each other. They never happen to maintain good friendship with each. I feel, silibilings fighting at the young age really make them to be good friends when they grew up.

I am the same way. I have an older brother that I have to keep my distance from to keep the piece, but sometimes that doesn't even help. I am a firm believer some people are just born bad, and I tell ya, he is one of them. He is selfish, arrogant and uncaring about others. The jerk put himself in debt, came home and conned our 60 year old mother into mortgaging her home so he could pay off his debts. Then he walked away not paying her back one-cent. Hubby and I are now helping her pay her monthly notes so she doesn't lose the home she herself grew up in.
So while I say blood is thicker than water and siblings should be closer than friends, sometimes there are exceptions. My best advice is, if they are bad, they are bad and well being related isn't our fault. LOL
