Siblings

When I was a kid my brother and I quarreled a lot. That's the norm with siblings. Of course we loved each other, but there was always competition between us.

Now he's one of my favorite people. There's something special about sharing memories and we have lots to share.

I've known lots of other people who have had similar experiences with their brothers and sisters. Once we're grown most of the competition is over and the things we shared become important.

That's a helpful thing for parents to know because seeing our kids quarrel can be frustrating.

What about you? If you have brothers and/or sisters how do you get along with them now compared with your relationship as kids?
