Coping with competitive relationships with adult siblings?

[iliketobooogie]

Does anyone else find adult sibling relationships a bit strained at times due to competition?
Whether this be in relation to houses, holidays, kids, careers, parental favouritism, etc?

I have really started to notice it, both towards me and from me in the last few years and I'd like to stop feeling it, and start living in the moment, and to look forward as opposed to sideways a bit more..

I have a younger Dsis and a BIL and a SIL, I think what doesn't help is we are all pretty close in age and the competitive side seems to come out of all of us at times.

Oh god yes. My DS is a lovely person but god she's so good at everything. There's been three separate occasions she's joined in something that I like doing in order to spend sometime with me and turned out to be totally awesome at it. I can see now we're on the verge of the fourth!

The thing is she's totally lovely and if I stopped telling her things that I was doing, it would just be weird but I do wish there was something she was a bit crap at.
