The sibling relationship you can’t control (but can influence)

You wanted them to be close.

You pictured them sharing secrets, laughing at inside jokes, and building a bond that would last beyond childhood. You chose to give them a sibling, hoping they would have that connection.

But as they grew, their personalities and differences became clear. Their relationship became something you could watch, worry about, and sometimes step in to help, but not something you could control.
