Inspired by another thread - I am really interested to know what is the worst argument you and your sibling had when you were younger?

ill start- I borrowed an item of clothing from my sister without asking and she stabbed by bike saddle with a knife!

I wouldn't even repeat some of the things we have said to each otherin an argument nor could I tell you what they've been about either. Granted you don't blow kisses or pass flowers and compliments in arguments but when we argue we really are toxic.

We argued over all sorts as kids and hurt each other physically too.

As an adult, she has punched me, but she was under a lot of pressure for a multitude of reasons and I was deliberately goading her. I don't hold it against her.

As a schoolkid, I hit my sister with a poker once for being annoying. I still feel bad about it today!

We had some sort of inexplicable argument about a bracelet when we were young (ie about 6 & 8), which still gets brought up from time to time.

Nothing serious though - we're both quite good at seeing each other's point of view, and we're both laid-back enough to not argue very forcefully.

When we lived together the worst 'fights' we ever had always stemmed from one not wanting to do the dishwasher without bargaining the job😂they would just spiral.

My siblings are the best people I know in all honesty

My sisters and I were always falling out over something. I have only fallen out with my brother once in my life, when I was about 11. (We are in our 40s now.) It started because he refused to believe tomatoes are fruits. For this post I will call him Ben. For some reason I wrote "I hate Ben" on everything I own. Inside books, under ornaments ect I still have the odd book from childhood and they all have "I hate Ben" written inside.

I’ve had massive fights with my brother about various things including covid/lockdown, gender, politics in general… he’s an absolutely archetypal lefty dudebro with an unshakable belief in his own superiority and inability to accept or respect differences of opinion. So the fights usually end with him getting very personally offensive, me saying I’m not prepared to be spoken to like that, and then silence for a few weeks or months.

My brother and I fought constantly throughout our childhood but the worst one was over a gold charm bracelet that was stolen from my bedroom by one of his "friends".

It was a piece of jewellery my mom, aunty and grandmothers started collecting charms on for me from when I was a baby.

I went away with my parents for a weekend and left the bracelet at home, so I wouldn't lose it. I locked my bedroom door before I left.

My brother threw a house party while we were all away and unlocked my bedroom so that a bunch of random girls had somewhere to change into their swimsuits (we live in a hot country and have a pool).

They could have changed in his bedroom or the bathroom. But no, he had to unlock my door and let these girls in. One of them took my bracelet and we never found out who or got it back.

Genuinely still gutted about it all these years later. Especially now that my aunty and grandmothers have all passed away. It would have been so lovely to have the bracelet and charms they all collected for me. It was never about the value of the jewellery but the sentiment behind it.

It took him years to properly apologise and he bought me a charm bracelet as a wedding gift in an attempt to make amends. While it'll never be the same as the original, it was a really lovely thought.

I was 15 and he was 13 and it ending with him punching me in the face and almost knocking me out. To be fair, it had been a long time coming and I'm fairly sure the stuff I used to do hurt him just as much if not more. My parents were very much, "There's your payback".

I should add I LOVE all my siblings and we are in our 40s and 50s.

HAHA! Ours ALWAYS stemmed from who was washing up and who was drying.

Because a guy she was arguing with threw water over her and I didn't do anything she beat me up.
