Birth Order and Sibling Rivalries

Nancy: Isn’t this a great time of year? Families get together over the holidays.

Yasmani: Maybe it’s nice for some families, but I Dread my family Get-togethers.

Nancy: How come?

Yasmani: I have a big family and there has always been a lot of Sibling rivalry.

Nancy: I’m sure that was true when you were growing up, but you’ve all Grown out of it, haven’t you?

Yasmani: Not us. The Firstborn still thinks he’s In charge, the Middle children still Act up to get attention, and the Baby of the family is still Rebellious.

Nancy: That’s true in a lot of families.

Yasmani: Yes, but when we get together, we compete To show up the others. We Brag, argue, and Nitpick. It’s rather Pathetic, actually.

Nancy: How do your parents handle all that?

Yasmani: They’ve always Left us to our own devices. We just fight it out amongst ourselves.

Nancy: So, there’s no loving Bond between the siblings.

Yasmani: Oh, we love each other, but we compete with other, too. It’s complicated.

Nancy: Then I should be glad to be an Only child?

Yasmani: That’s right. Count your blessings!
