OKAY! I wonder if any parent or child or sister or brother faces this but I do. My brother And I were born with 11 months separation and from our infanthood we have never gotten along! He would always find a way to hit me, take my things away(especially my toys waaaah!:(( ), compete with me! But he never used to get away with his bullying, I used to fight him back too!:D He was jealous of me and because I am the youngest the most loved one and on the other side I was jealous of him because he is the only son and gets all pampered!!My parents had a hard time with us and never put us together anywhere. Though we were in the same school and same grade and same subjects, we were put in different classes! Till today, though the physical fights have reduced, we still have a lotta teasing and verbal hostility between us. Do you parents/sisters/brothers ever face this? How do you parents deal with it? And as for me I try to stay as far away from my brother! lol :))
