Sibling Rivalry
Posted by Ling on August 17, 2006
Sibling rivalry is defined as competition between brothers and sisters for parental love
My 3 younger sisters have returned from Hong Kong.
Yes, it’s great that they’re back, but at the same time, it just reminds me how annoying we all are when we get together.
We make lots and lots of noise!!!
” Listen to MY stories!!!!”
“No, let me speak first!”
There are 7 of us – 4 girls, 3 boys – Sibling rivalry isn’t very apparent, but I would say that there are subtle references to it, from my end.
I felt uneasy when my mum commented that my 3 sisters “deserved” their 3 month break in Hong Kong. I had to stay behind to work full-time AND take care of my 3 brothers – but my mum doesn’t think I’m hardworking. She often describes me as “lazy, boring and fat”.
And then when I defend myself, she responds with “Oh but you’re the eldest so you have to do this and that….”
I cannot win!!
However, I think my mum likes to say stuff like that to me because it makes me more determined to prove her wrong! I only do well if I have to compete with people! Deep down, I know that she totally appreciates what I do.
Is that terrible that I get driven by competition??
I like to be better than…
I like to be the best at…
I don’t like being told what to do so I usually do the opposite!!
E.g. Mr Geek says I should lose some weight (he’s got this thing about skinny girls) but I am determined to get fatter…hahaha…
But then my mum says Sis 3 is skinny, so then I try and be as skinny as her!!! And the thing is….the thing is….I AM the same waist size as her…but because she is inches and inches taller than me, she appears skinnier….ugh!!

You don’t wanna be too skinny really. I’d say you’re fine.
