How your relationship with your siblings?

Tweet

We've all had arguments with our siblings, at least I'm pretty sure we all have. What is the worst thing your sibling(s) has said or done to hurt you? Do you all get along better now than when you were children? If you are an only child, do you wish you had a brother or sister? My sister's birthday is 24th of July. My parents and I had planned to come see her this coming weekend. Today she calls my parent's house, and I'm there. We talk, and I mention coming to see her next weekend. She's surprised. She didn't think I was coming with our parents. She asks to speak to our mom. A little while later I heard my mom say, "I'll figure something out." She gets off the phone with an odd look on her face, and all of a sudden I just knew! I said, "Did she just ask you to find a way to keep me from coming down to see her next weekend for her birthday?" My mom nodded. I told my mom it was no big deal. My sister isn't very sentimental about me. She loves me, but I'm more like a regular person to her, not her sister. So I told my mom not to worry, I wouldn't go, and that since my back is so bad right now, I'll e-mail her and tell her it is too painful to make the trip (3 hour trip). And to be honest, the pain in my back right now is massive. So it is a real excuse. And that way, my mom won't have to worry about trying to find a way to get me not to come. It doesn't bother me too much. Of course it doesnt' make me feel good, but it is her birthday. If she wants to spend it with our parents, her husband, her, and no one else, then she should be able to do that. My mom said she was angry with her because we're all a family, and my sister is leaving me out. I had to calm her down. lol She gets outraged on my behalf far more than I do for myself. I reiterated to my mom this is not even close to being as bad as things she had done before, so it wasn't a blip on the radar even. That prompted this discussion. So back to the title of the discussion...?
