    Introduction

    Many parents with a number of children persist in their belief that their children have a natural and inborn affection for each other, they are not jealous of each other, and they definitely do not spend plenty of their time competing with each other, or quarreling.

    That is a delusion which parents persist on promoting, because they cannot face the fact that human beings, especially siblings, are born to be natural opponents.

      Introduction

      Many parents with a number of children persist in their belief that their children have a natural and inborn affection for each other, they are not jealous of each other, and they definitely do not spend plenty of their time competing with each other, or quarreling.

      That is a delusion which parents persist on promoting, because they cannot face the fact that human beings, especially siblings, are born to be natural opponents.

      Siblings mean children – brothers and sisters or brothers and brothers and sisters and sisters growing up in one family. The term sibling is going to encompass the children of the same pair of parents. Cousins do not come in the direct term of sibling.

      In the same way, half-brothers and half-sisters are blood siblings, but stepbrothers and stepsisters are not, because one parent was someone else before the other parent decided to marry one of your parents.

      Sibling rivalry goes back to the days of Cain and Abel, especially if you look at the psychological effect of the first supposed murder done by man. Cain killed Abel, his younger brother. Nobody knows the reason for this murder, but there must have been some seed of intense hatred, envy, loathing, jealousy, or just plain disgust which made Cain decide to get rid of Abel , because he did not like to see him around.

      The 21st century psychologist is immediately and glibly going to explain this action as one rooted in sibling rivalry from childhood itself. And that festered in a
