Are you competitive with your siblings?

Also, as we are growing older, there is cognitive decline also that is impacting common sense!!

It is tedious to deal with.

OMG same. Tedious is the perfect adjective.

Yes. But I figure, we're not as bad as Cain and Abel, Jacob and Esau, or any real people either, if their full story was known.

Haha. I’m like the PP who is clearly winning the competition. It’s not a competition for us… I’m not in prison, am the only one with a career, children born inside of wedlock, only one who has ever left hometown. So I’m not competitive.

Same. But we do need to ask ourselves, is airily brushing off siblings a form of smugness or competition itself? (My sister is so horrible I grey rock her, and I don’t think that’s the same.)

Some of my siblings care about that, and others don't. So I'd say some of them are competitive with me and others aren't.

Aren’t you a peach.

My brother is a genius musician so it would be futile for me, someone who is strictly an amateur, to be competitive with him.

Plus we love one another and being competitive doesn't fit into that.

Unless,as someone previously mentioned, it's ping pong. Or, in our case, badminton. Then, of course, the gloves are off!
