Sisters who fight !!

[workingmum22]

I have got a feeling that this section was supposed to be about kids who fight - but what if you find that its big sisters who don't get on.

I have 5 sisters - so I know all about sibbling rivalry. But lately it seems to be getting worse between two of my sisters. They are constantly pregnant doging about the other and I feel like I am squashed in between them. I am not sure if I should stay out of it - or help them in some way to resolve their differences ? Honestly I feel sometimes like shouting and tell them both to grow up and get over it !

I feel so sorry for you workingmum22 - being in the middle of sibbling rivalry ! I can't speak from my own experience as I get on with my sister TG - but I have three cousins (three sisters) who are just horrible to each other. But what amazes me is just how 'close' they are ! They ring each other every day - say awful things - hang up and yet ring back the next day! I don't understand it but my only advice is to stay out of it. They are the only ones who can resolve this situation - and it has to be their choice. Good luck - keep us posted !!

I have to agree - adults need to treated as adults and not as children. People make choices everyday - whether its to get on with others or not - and unfortunately for many reasons (of which I have no idea of) yours sisters have chosen to stay angry at each other - which is so sad - because having a sister can be such an enriching and loving experience. Your role is to simply love them, support them where they are at - no judgement or involvement - and hopefully by your example they may decide to heal their relationship.
