If you have a sibling, you know that it’s a unique relationship. So it’s inevitable that you’ll go through Life Stuff together, (births, family reunions,  funerals, etc.) Those experiences bond people together, so hopefully you and your sibling will always have each other’s back. If you’re really lucky, you and your sibling might even be genuine friends.

On the other hand, practically every sibling relationship has conflict. For lots of folks, your sibling is your first real enemy. They’re the closest competitor for parental affection. They know all your dirty secrets, and how to drive you nuts. There’s a reason the phrase “sibling rivalry” exists–it applies to pretty much everyone.

Most sibling relationships are a mixture of both friendship and animosity. Below, check out 15 tweets that capture the sibling relationship’s uniqueness.

Hopefully they’ll cheer you up, because your sibling just told me they were definitely your mom and dad’s favorite, and not you.
