[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why no they have to like each other? Just because you decided to have 3 kids and had visions of them as besties doesn't mean that's how it has to go.

Set ground rules and consequences for respect ie no hitting or name calling
Let them have time to themselves and things that are just theirs

Don't always force them to go to siblings events let them chill at home sometimes.

What a sad way to look at family. This is how you get kids who don't like each other. I don't understand families like this. That's like saying your kids don't have to like you or like their grandparents. I didn't have a family so we could all merely tolerate each other. Family comes first, forever, and no you don't have to be best friends but siblings love each other and support each other.[/quote]

They don't. My kids don't have to like Me. Your kids don't have to like you or their grandparents either or their siblings. They do have to be respectful and treat each other with respect.  That's just reality.[/quote]

Again, what a depressing way to view family. Why even have one?[/quote]

You have a very tiny view of the world. I marvel at how  people like you  get through life constantly being depressed when others don't share your beliefs. It has to be difficult.[/quote]

Not PP, but people in MY family we have the same view on pretty much all that matters. I guess I am lucky, but my parents are intelligent, educated, liberal people. We sometimes have different opinions on superficial facts/events, but the fundamentals are the same.

My parents taught me to be open minded and critical of any view. There is no absolute truth and no right or wrong. 
I just can’t relate to what you are saying because I could appreciate opposite views as long as they are thought through and come from intelligent people that realize themselves that their views only apply to them and that others feel differently.

Only my brother’s wife is a little different, bit we never talk about politics, homosexuality, and broader views of the world (possibly because i know she believes that she “owns the truth” and is just more closed minded in general).
