Parents: is sibling rivalry FUNNY?
Does it just make you howl with laughter when your little toddlers hit, push and kick each other? Do you firmly believe that sibling hatred is OK and natural? Are you thrilled that they can fight and/or insult each other any time? Does their struggles take you back to your own childhood when it was FUN to fight with your own siblings? Have you ever considered that sibling rivalry is both abnormal and completely uncalled for? Does it ever occur to you that love and respect is the norm and that sibling rivalry is not automatic or natural but is the sad consequence of negligent parenting? Are your older kids still fighting with each other all because YOU FAILED to promote love, respect and loyalty in your family from day one? Are you proud of the mess you have made for your innocent kids by FAILING to help them happily and lovingly accept each other at birth? Are you ever going to take responsibility for the rotten mess YOU MADE in your kid's lives???????

Poor neglectful parenting. Yet, who will be the first to admit it? Fighting or anger on occasion is normal for everyone that lives together like that. Addressing it there and then, teaching how to handle the situations properly is what many, fail to do. Then again these same parents let it carry on until someone gets hurt then go in swing and saying I told you so.

look. Sibling rivalry is fine. I know me and my sister fought all the time, and we love each other so much. So are you trying to say that we have a horrible mother? Or that any woman who's kids have a ''sibling rivalry'' is a bad parent? I think (and i'm sure people can agree with me on this) that siblings who are just all lovey-dovey and never fight and never get jealous or frustrated with each other is a little odd? Or..a lot odd? Siblings who show lots of affection and don't show when they are mad with each other is very very weird. LOL talk about insest. Okay so please take your narrow, oblivious,arrogant thoughts somewhere else.
Please have many seats.

It's hard to prevent kids from fighting. They grow out of it eventually. I remember when I was 12 and fought with my sister all the time even though when I was 3 my parents did try to stop me from fighting with my sister. Now we get along fine. You can't control your kids completely. Ever thought it might be that kids just fight? That's how they are.
