Sibling Revelry

In a fairy tale world, relationships between siblings are always pleasant-no fights, no problems, no worries. They never have to worry about each other because they’re always helping each other, always cheerful and smiling. But the again, let’s go back to a little place I’d like to call reality.

Fights, fights, figths. “It’s all your fault!” “You’re alaways bothering  me!” “I’m going to tell mom!” They’re always on our nerves, always bugging us, always torturing us. When I was a little kid, my older siblings always  teased me. They would always make fun of me ’till I had tears in my eyes. It was always difficult to talk to them about my concerns because most of the time, they would end up making the decisions for me. living a life with two moms (my mom and sister) and two dads (my dad and brother) is hard. I was always asked to do chores-like I had to do everything around the house. Seriously, I felt  I was Cinderella. We always  had trouble understanding each other maybe because I was so much younger than them (age gap: eight and 10 years). And because I was the youngest, they always knew what I was up to so it was hard for me to learn anything on my own. The more I tried to be good, the more they thought that I was up to something. But as I grew older, I began to understand their intentionsfor me and they are all good. I was just too stubborn to realize that they love me, which is why they always watched out for me. Yes, it’s normal for siblings to fight over pretty things. However, after all the fights , eventually we always made up.

We can really never expect to live the fairy tale life with our siblings. There will always be times when we will get into misunderstandings. Whenever a conflict arises, remember that it’s just a phase that you have to overcome. I can never have the same bond that I have with my siblings with anyone else.  I’d rather be with them than anyone else in the whole wide world.
