[quote=Anonymous]Translates tried to force a friendship between me and my siblings and all I did was drive a huge wedge between us because none of us wanted that..... Ironically they gave up after the 4th and that's the one in the closest with.... Because there was no pressure that we had to be BFF or get along.

We try to build in natural opportunities for the family to bond like game night movie night things like that..... Also respect their individuality and don't force them to be best friends. 
Once every other month or so, we'll give them $30-60 and say they have to plan an activity for their sibling in themselves that they think the other one will enjoy..... our son  has picked out paint your own pottery..... And our daughter asked for the family to do an escape room together.

We also have a lot of discussions about respecting boundaries because my husband and I are very much different people who have different needs and wants and so we try to mirror how two people can be very different but still have a loving relationship.
