[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did your parents make you guys compete against one another? Compare you? (Why cant you be more like your brother? Susan is the smart one, but Beth is the pretty one?) Was there a shortage of resources or attention that made you feel like you had to compete? We had all that and I have very consciously worked to not compare my kids or make them compete. Our family motto is 'we are all on the same team' and we work to support one another. Last summer my daughter had to go to summer school to take a language class that she failed in college and her younger brother who is great at foreign languages asked if we would pay for him to take it too so they could study together. One of my proudest moments as a parent.[/quote] This is key—parents set up the dynamic between siblings. Criticism from parents also contributes to resentment between siblings. [/quote]
