Siblings

When and why childhood sibling rivalry continues into adulthood

this is my story on me and my sibling it shows why siblings fight and how it can continue if it dose not stop in childhood

Siblings and Me. I only have one and we are bitter enemies. His name is Patrick Moriarty and he is my only brother and he is 15. We absolutely despise each other. We have no common interests. We are pure opposites. The sayings opposites attract is a lie. Well maybe it's just us. He likes Halo and I like Kingdom Hearts. He likes Blink 182 and I like the All American Rejects. He likes the X-box 360 and I like the Nintendo Wii. We are pure opposite he liked to skate board when I liked to roller blades and when I started skiing he started snow boarding. We used to half way get along when we were young but still fought. Apparently when I was little Patrick would sneak cookies into my crib and I would eat it and we would fall asleep together. I don't remember those days and don't think I ever will. Hopefully we will like each other more in the future like most siblings. I may not know the future but I do know that I'm going to make the best of it. Hopefully are fighting habits will end but that could take a very very very very long time.
