How competitive are you with your siblings?
Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Competition between siblings is normal, as most of us have the innate feeling of always wanting to come out a winner, but the question is: how extreme are you about sibling rivalry?
Jane catches her producer off-guard with a voice note from his sister after he admitted that there is no sibling rivalry in their family:
Sibling rivalry is the jealousy, competition, and fighting between brothers and sisters. Sometimes it's just a phase but for some, it continues later into life.

Sibling rivalry can be a battle for parents and how to deal with it.
When my little sis was born I carried her around like my little doll and loved and cared for her big time!
Competition between siblings is a common thing but in saying that with there being a five-year age difference between my sister and I, we were never in competition with each other.

For us, we struggled to connect with each other due to the reasonably big difference in age and just missing each other at school, we were never really in the same place at the same time. Since we have both become mothers, our relationship has become very strong and the age difference has totally disappeared.
I am the first born and while growing up I was always the big sister. Sometimes I would pull serious rank. I was guilty of not allowing her to swim with me and my friends or not allowing her to play with us (so uncool). I also gave her a tragic haircut in the garage, and blamed her for mishaps and made her run around me like she was my personal PA.

Now I would like to hear about your relationship with your siblings. Are you seriously competitive and how far have you gone to pull rank?
