[quote=Anonymous]My two cents, for this to even have a chance at working, BOTH siblings have to be absolutely committed to keeping up a completely neutral front. I don’t think that you have to pretend to get along with your sister - kids will eventually figure it out - but you both have to play fair. Maybe it’s even better for th kids to understand that there’s some distance, so that they aren’t taken by surprise if/when something does get tense. In my experience, it’s not fun as a child to hear the adults fighting, but it’s even worse to be a child around extended family and hear them make snide remarks about your parent....or worse yet, using an innocent remark that you (the kid) makes in order to get a dig in at their adult sibling. That’s a complete dealbreaker. [/quote]
