My twins recently turned six. Gone soon are they days when their older sisters and I could spell and have a few secrets or discuss how to manipulate them.
The other day the kids were fighting. One of our rules is no name calling. I tell them, "I did not put the name Stupid on your brothers birth certificate". So the ten year old screams at her brother, "You are so S-T-U-P-I-E-D!"
My dad said once that siblings keep each other in their place, I believe it is true.
Siblings can be your worst critics.
