As I observe there are many siblings who enjoy the company of each other, but there are alot of siblings who always fight with each other, whether it is big or small issues, I don't know maybe they are fighting for the inheritance when their parents die. It is too hard to live in a house with too much noise. What is your observation? How can you stop, control or manage this rivalry inside your own house? please help

The parents need to talk to their children and expalin to them that it is not healthy if they always keep on fighting with each other, Parents have their full responsibility but the children have their part too. Prayer is the best thing we can offer for our children Let us all ask Our Lord for better sollution

Yes, these sort of arguments among siblings drive me pitiful. In fact in my state, a lot of problems arise due to inheritance issues. About an year ago, there was a news about a person who killed three brothers just to get the full share of their property and invest in business. Minor arguments such as with parents or brothers for being rude or for ignoring ones needs are not a big problem. They usually end up in 'Sorries' and help the family to get a more strong stand. Small fights over petty issues between couples could help them love better. But all the noise around the home during a quarrel is really pathetic to hear and in my opinion, we must love and understand everyone and learn to tolerate with siblings. Sacrifice truly nurtures love. Regards, AJ

Well at the risk of sounding stupid- if you have children living in the same home arguing over an inheritance- it is long past time for some folks to move out. I have a brother and a sister and when we were much much younger we had our differences but it more of the big sister, big brother thing, which I think happend in every family. Now as adults we just enjoy each other adn the time we have together.
