15 Tweets That Anyone With A Sibling Will Relate To

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.
