Sibling Rivelry

Sibling RivelrySibling rivelry is a part of life, if you have a sibling.  It’s not something that can usually be avoided.  It can be delt with, though.

If you suffer from sibling rivelry with your siblings, and you don’t want to, the best thing you can do is to avoid it.  You can’t control how others act, or how they treat you, but you can control your actions.

The best thing you can do is to not encourage it.  If your brother or sister is trying to draw you into some comparison, or some competition, don’t get caught up in it.  Everyone does things differently.  Their is no one right way.  Or if you lose at some little game between the two of you, don’t be a sore loser.  If you don’t encourage it, then the chances are that the rivelry between you and them won’t exist as much.  It takes two to create the rivelry.  If you’re not caught up in it, then it won’t be as much of a problem.

My brother and I were fierce rivals growing up but it was all in fun. Now we’re really good friends.

I am really glad to hear that :) I was raised an only child, so I missed out on the fighting and such when it comes to having a sibling. I don’t know if I should be sad over that or not, lol.
