No one is as obnoxiously well-behaved as a child whose sibling is getting yelled at.

Kids only want one thing and it’s to play with whatever their sibling is playing with

My 7yo asked her brother for a hug and it was the sweetest sibling moment, then off to school he went with a slap me sign on his back

My toddler old keeps wishing she was the eldest sibling, and I’m like: sweetheart, if you were born first, you would’ve been born last

Hell hath no fury like a child whose sibling touched the automatic door opener button before they did.

According to my kids, the Golden Rule is: Be as mean to my sibling as my sibling was to me.

There’s normal sibling rivalry and then there’s the 4yo is mad that the 11yo came first and is insisting that they were in your belly together rivalry. I was not prepared for the latter.

No one wants to take medicine more than the healthy sibling of a sick kid.

Nobody has a better bedside manner than a kid who’s trying to get their sibling they just punched to stop crying before their parents hear.

Overheard in my house: "I'll give you thirteen dollars to stop being my sibling."

8: I’m bored
Me: play with your brother or sister
8: don’t want to
Me: ok we spent thousands of pounds on fertility treatments to get them for you so you need to fucking play with them

What I said: "Don't kick your sister in the back"

What I meant: "Don't kick your sister"

What she heard: "Kick your sister someplace else"

Asking your child to go get their sibling for dinner is just asking them to stand next to you and scream their sibling's name.

Me: where’s your brother?

Daughter: I told him to go hide.

Me: aww are you playing hide and seek?

Me:

Me:

Daughter: don’t worry I’ll find him when my movie’s over.

Bought a Swiffer & now my kids are arguing over who gets to use it first.

This is a fight I can get behind.

I tried to sleep in this morning so naturally it was the perfect time for my kids to fight over who can scream the loudest.

7yo: I’m sad
Me: bc your brother’s gone on a trip?
7yo: *nods glumly*
Me: but now you can play with his stuff and he won’t even know
7yo: it’s not the same if he’s not here to get mad at me

Me: Did you hit your sister?

4-year-old: Yes.

Me: What do you need to tell her?

4: Don't touch my stuff again.
