It will continue to be cordial if you are delivering on promises. The day you bring your girl friend or boy friend into the midst or you fail on a promise then prepare to see the other side. In a polygamous house, the day your dad exits, the day fight becomes pronounced. Siblings bring all sorts of formulae to display their trust issues. If you like be Jesus alike in your dealings with.them, the underground assumption is you are cheating somewhere

My own family is dysfunctional infact it has been since my father died. My mother is an easy going person, very nice, not strict, disciplinary & has a habit of giving us a lot of freedom. This is in a way created a void among us. All 5 of us, we separated early. My mum is still the only one that has a good healthy relationship with all of us but amony us the siblings, the relationship too toxic. Can't remember the last time we all gathered together the same place. Even at that, we pretend to be good for like the first 2 days then boom, kasala go burst starting from conflict of two till everyone yabs themselves & then we scatter again not to meet for a long time. My grandpa's burial in 2020 caused us all to meet. Since then, we haven't met & I don't think anything is going to bring us all together again except maybe my mum's burial & I sure say big fight go still happen then. Until then, may death no kill my sweet beautiful yellow mama for me. I too love that woman die.


Your mom should bring ye'all together in love now that she's still healthy/alive. Once she's gone, it's going to be difficult for you guys to function as siblings. And you'll all transfer the bad blood to your kids who will not relate well with their cousins.

Block their numbers and see that source of your blessing block too. No be curse.

Many bread winners don't seem to realise that God has placed them in that position so they too can be of help to people around them, including thehr siblings . The moment they stop, either due to their wife's or husband's or friend's bad advice, the blessing stops too.

Till date, i still send money to my older siblings and God's help and blessing never stop.

You are talking rubbish and made no sense

Mine's perfect. I just suffer in the feeling that I've not been enough.
I mean I only have one and we've done a lot together. The weakest and strongest moments, we've shared together. Coursing through life with that fellow, our parents, despite the background, has etched a place of indelible room in my heart. All wonderful memories we've lived through and still staying in shape.
Our relationship couldn't be healthier—he doesn't seize any opportunity to show me love, like I don't too. He's a great chap.

I only get forlorn for how long it's having to take to get to peak where all four people in this circle start living the beautiful life that should follow all what life's brought.

Long, beautiful, joyful, healthful, and fulfilling shall be the life of all four of us. I love my sibling. I love my family. I love my circle.

Mine is actually healthy cos we dey always do checks and balances and also do interventions for the most ridiculous issues lol. We're so close we've all watched the same tv series and there must be more than 100 different ones not counting movies regardless of whether we're together or not. Not like we don't have our bad moments o but they never last past a couple of days

There's just three of us. I'm the first. I may have bad habits but with the way they look up to me, I just can't afford any bad blood, you feel me?

Can't say 100% healthy but we understand the fact that we're blood and blood is thicker than water. Even if we don't communicate as frequently as it is supposed to be, even if we quarrel from time to time, we know that we have to be there for each other. They actually came together today for me, as far as from Abuja down to Osun state

You guys just need to make it work, the eldest should try down his ego n talk to others, just pretend to be foolish, maybe buying gift for them or just giving them cash

I can't really say it's healthy, neither can I say it's toxic. We just don't have a strong bond with each other.

To begin with, I have two elder half siblings I've never meet before, these are my late mother's children she had from a previous marriage before she married my dad. I haven't even seen their pictures so I don't even know how they look like, I only know their names. And any time I ask a family member who've had contact with them, they just waive it off.

In my family, it's not the younger ones (siblings, cousin) that are toxic, it's the elder ones (parents, uncle's, aunties) although not all Sha, and it's rubbing off on some of the younger ones. To say the least, my family is very dysfunctional.

We are just two who share the same parents, I and my younger sister, the rest are my half siblings. My biological sister and I didn't grow up together due to my mom and dad's separation. We reunited after 15yrs and still had some misunderstandings due to individual differences. Then I decided to be away from family and find my way through life. The last time we saw was about 2-3 yrs ago, we only communicate via call and WhatsApp and it's been cool.

My other half siblings, the children my dad has with his present wife we barely communicate, not because we hate each other but they are still young and are still under parent's custody so they follow whatever their mother tells them. I think they'll come around when they're much older.

I eager look forward to spending some with them in the coming hollidays though.

that's too bad. It's my sister in the US that brought myself and my brother over.

From the onset, our parents taught us how to love each other and watch each other back.

My relationship with my siblings is cooperative and healthy.

I don't even know if ours is healthy or toxic.

When we quarrel here..., Its www3. grin

Then, one person falls ill or runs into trouble, the way we forget our quarrel and come together to pull funds and ideas together to help out baffles me.

In all, nothing beats the love of siblings jare.
