hi Light wave,

Well me im am the bigest from the sis's, yess it happens but me if my lil sis don't listen then i don't talk twice because i know how they react and i let mom convince them. They kinda jump on my head and i don't like it. They grow up and are womans they do not listen like before and each time i give them an advice they say to stop treat me like a child doh
im the youngest i get on fine with my oldest sister! but its my 4th oldest brother that i fight with! and when i mean fight i meant fighting with fists!
My eldest sister is 15 years older than me,my brother ten 10 years older and my other sister 8 years older. I get along famously with all of them. Maybe I was too late for the rivalry.
Choc,

I fight with fists and feet, too.boxing
I remember when my brother and myself were younger and didn't understand about age we used to argue about who was the eldest. He assumed that because he was the boy that he was the eldest. He is actually younger than me. Looking back on that argument from the perspective of my current age it was a silly argument but from such a young age ( 3 or 4 years old) a perfectly normal argument. I also have a younger sister (7 years younger) who if I'm honest when she was first born I was jealous of as I saw her as a rival for my parent's affection. Being a mother myself I now know that parents do love their children equally it's just that babies are more helpless than older children. Despite living reasonably close to each other we very rarely see each other. My sister and I aren't on speaking terms and my brother has a special lady in his life with whom he spends most of his time. Sibling rivalry is normal. Each family is different. hug teddybear bouquet
chococherrie, you are dangerous woman. I have to be careful for you. Do you get a trophy after every fight?
I am the eldest, I have got 3 brothers and 2 sisters. Seems like my mother have a favorite and my father also. I am thinking that they have got special attention to my brothers and sisters because they have got needs also that their other children could grow with. But I don't have any misunderstanding with them. And we do communicate harmoniously now. Love them with my all my heart.
I think it's completely normal. When my four kids couldn't get along for whatever reason, I would send them to their rooms until dinner time. By the time dinner was ready they were best friends again and are friends to this day(ages 19-27 now)
