True Life: I Have a Rivalry With My Siblings

April 26th, 2012 - By madamenoire

It’s natural and quite common to be in competition with your brothers and sisters when you’re growing up. But when does that competition become unhealthy? And does this healthy or not unhealthy rivalry ever stop? We asked our Facebook and Twitter followers whether or not they have a little (or big) rivalry going on with their siblings. See what they had to say. 

Zara: I have 2 younger siblings but, disowned them a few years back.

Jacquelyn: Healthy. I was raised in a family of 7 children and our parents. My parents and 3 siblings have died so I cherish anytime I can spend with my brother and sisters.

Diane: it was healthy when we were young but unhealthy now. I love him from a distance.

Tiffany: Jealousy is one of the most ugliest traits to have. My sister despises the fact that I have a coke bottle shape #WeDontTalk

    Cherish your family people,everyone doesn’t have that luxury.I don’t have any siblings.I don’t know my biological parents.My Mom adopted me when she was well in her senior years and she’s not here anymore so all I have is myself since her family never treated me as such.She was my mom,dad,sister,brother,cousin my everything.I try not get sad about not having family,it was a privilege to be raised by such a wise and wonderful person.She made a very mature,astute,responsible young lady out of me but she didn’t prepare me for the part where she’d be gone.I have no one.I’ll take a combative sister or brother over that any day.

      I believe there is something good in store for you.  I’ll pray that if it’s your desire, you’ll have your own complete family, and good sister friends to replace your loss.  Just keep your chin up, remember the things your mom taught you.

     Too many sisters and little brothers, no matter what it works its self out and at times it takes for things to happen for siblings to realize to come together. sometimes it gets worse. Prayer.

    Instead of telling a website how you feel it would be better to tell your siblings. It’s crazy how people communicate so well on social networks but can’t talk to one another.

    • Angelb_33

      sometimes talking don’t solve it, not all siblings can relate and be on the level to communicate. that’s why it a website; you free to say as you please, and some may  need to feel the need to breath ;-) , family these days and times seems to b the one to hurt first. they have to release it or they will hurt someone else and that innocent person got nothing to do with how family treated them.

    Me and the sister under me always butt heads but I still love her. I just know we need to keep our space, she has alot of growing up to do.  She puts friends ahead of family. My other four sibblings and I get along just fine though.

    My siblings didnt grow up around our cousins, so we all we got! We disagree argue but at end of the day nobody like them!!!!

  • MissDiva05

    Dang, some of these are sad….. My lil bro works every single one of my nerves, but we both know when to walk away from an argument between the two of us. Plus, our mama would kick both of our @$$e$ if it escalated.
