Well here we are at Jo-Anne’s Thoughts and this week I have been thinking about sibling rivalry but not between sibling but cousins, as in my eldest grandchildren.
Blain and Sam, these two have had this rivalry for years, each bad mouthing the other over any bloody little thing.
This is something I find hard to understand as I never experienced it with my siblings, we all get along and for the most always have.
I did have to deal with it between my eldest (Kathy)and my youngest (Jess)who spent years/decades at each others throats. Thankfully they get along now.
Do you have any rivalry with your siblings?
How do your own children get along?

Dearest Jo-Anne,
Some rivalry could be healthy but if it is to the point of ongoing getting at each others’ throat—that is not healthy!
Being here in the USA for 40 years (exactly on August 29th) there is no chance for any rivalry due to the Atlantic Ocean being between siblings.
Hugs,
Mariette
Minor rivalry is normal and happens between most siblings it’s the other that’s not so good
