When you grow up with siblings, there are many personalities to deal with. People tend to become defensive towards their brothers and sisters for being who they are. I recently went through an experience where I was treated unfairly, but although disappointed it didn't last. Why? I realized that no one is like me, each one of my siblings is unique in their own way. Therefore, their personalities reflect their individuality. They respond differently to situations and understanding this, I don't get upset or defensive when one doesn't respond the way I think he/she should. At least not for long. I accept them for who they are and this makes living life with them so much easier. I believe this is why the six of us have maintained a close relationship til this day.
