Why should one be jealous of siblings. I rather feel proud when they achieve in life or get credits. Siblings are our best friends who give us real happiness and also right comments. So where does the room for jealousiness arise. I have a very close relationship with all my siblings.

It is nice to hear that you are close to your siblings. There is no point in being jealous of them, rather feel proud of them and cogratulate them in their success. I practice that with my siblings even though I am not very close to them. I find it hard to leave some time to keep in contact with them.

I am the smallest in a family of five children so I have three sisters and one brothers and we quarel a lot but we also love each other a lot, we share our clothes amoung sisters, our jewelries, our shoes and my brother helps me a lot in repairing my broken stuffs as he is a master in that, he yells at me sometimes but cares for me a lot too. So there is no way to feel jealous for each other. I once read that jealousy is worse than cancer.

No, I am not at all jealous about anybody especially my siblings. I feel very proud about their achievements when they reach high levels in life. I agree with you there is no need to feel jealous about anybody be it siblings or anyone else, what we are entitled to get we also may achieve or at least we should try to reach heights in life.

I love my elder sister and I agree with your view point. I don't have any sibling rivalry either.She is one of my best friends.She is much older than me and she was a huge part of my life when I was a kid.She literally helped bring me up, along with mom and dad. Though we are both grown up now and she has a family of her own,we are still very connected and I am glad she is a part of my life.

i'm not jealous of my siblin, not even with my cousins. Jealousy is a very bad emotion and arises only when you feel threatened by the other person. he point is why should you feel threatened by your sister or brother. I'm happy the way they are and also happy the way i'm. So, I am not jealous about my siblings. :)
