Sibling rivalry

I'm the youngest in the family and I have one sister and one brother. Both have stopped talking to each other and they couldn't stand each other because of some past issues.

I hate being stuck in the middle as I love them both and today is our mom's birthday, would be nice if all of us could have dinner together. In the end, all I get is the yelling and more anger. 😒

Omg you sound just like my sister. My brother and I stopped taking some months ago, and she keeps trying. Our mom's birthday is around the corner too

@PaintedVeil: I'm not being biased, but I think my sister will agree with you about my brother 😋

be precise and completely honest with both of them.. one by one.. make them understand how and why their little quibble is not above their mom.. so for her sake and for fuck's sake.. to be more wise..

That's a frustrating position you're in

I have just one younger brother. At times I want to kill him, but at other times I know I appreciate having him around

I hope things calm down for you. :)

@PaintedVeil: Yeah! 😆
@PaintedVeil: catch more flies with honey instead of vinegar. As soon as the first person loses control then u know who's more stubborn. I kill with kindness..the hard part is remaining calm and reasonable while everyone else has lost their shit. Good luck. Try giving them a $20 when they get there. Say your buying their silence ... between that and the weed brownies...actually mushrooms(touchy/less predictable yet healthy alternative) or acid(harsh on body) will make them by at a guy laughing if they aren't tripping out lol the acid always changed me from cynical ass to busting a gut laughing. Warning: put 14 hours aside from consumption as even small doses last long. At least 10 anyway lol

@TwistedTitus: wow im impressed at the details! Speaking from experience? 😀

I'm really sorry to hear that. I was in a fairly similar boat regarding my parents in the past. I hope things go well for you three and that your mother has a great birthday.

@PaintedVeil: At the end of the day though, family is important.
PaintedVeil · 41-45, F
@TheMindBoggled: you are so right - well im not really close with my family (we have problems expressing ourselves) but it is nice to see us all get along if you know what you mean?
TheMindBoggled · 26-30, M
@PaintedVeil: I completely agree.

I'm sorry to hear... I don't have that issue with my brother. In fact, we became best friends the day that I left home (and our shared bedroom...lol...).
... but truthfully, I worry about my two oldest sons, and their issues with each other...I constantly counsel them to keep their fighting limited... they're family.
Sorry about your luck. Bake some weed cookies for the rivals lol im sorry you must deal with this

Yikes! I strongly believe that the older sibling must give way so the younger will follow..

That sucks!

@PaintedVeil: Me and my oldest brother don't talk. He married someone for money, before he did she gave him an ultimatum either he doesn't see his daughter anymore or she leaves. He hasn't seen his daughter since she was 12, that was a lot of years ago. I havn't talked to him since.
PaintedVeil · 41-45, F
@1961dave: oh my god what kind of person stops someone from seeing his own daughter and what kind of father would agree with that?? Thats so sad. I would be like you too I think 😤

@PaintedVeil: Thanks, yeah it's really sickening!
I feel uncomfortable with my whole family because i have paranoid schizophrenia.
@PaintedVeil: ty that means alot
@PaintedVeil: i hope you're situation gets better as well. Good luck to you!
PaintedVeil · 41-45, F
@AfterDark: i wouldnt say i know how you feel, but i do know some people with similar problem as you.. and family is the best way to get through this, family or having positive people around you, who constantly support and believe in you. i hope you have them in your life :)
