Honestly, sometimes when siblings fight, it’s our fault.

Sibling conflict is normal but sibling rivalry is rooted in something bigger. In the Bible, Jacob favored a special son, Joseph. Now Joseph’s brothers really resented him being favored and when he was presented with an extravagant robe, they had had enough. They wanted Joseph gone. The moral of the story: Sibling rivalry is predictable when parents show favoritism. Stepfamilies are vulnerable to this. So do your best to pour yourself equally into every child in your home. They all need you.
