In this post, I will be discussing about the same sex and different sex of siblings.
Sex indicates the gender of the person.
In other words, same sex means all girls or all boys siblings, different sex means boy and girl siblings.
Please do not mistaken the word, thank you.
Siblings in every family depends on how parents educate them since young.
If parents doted more on the boys rather than the girls, obviously the girls are super jealous over the extra attention and priviledges given to the males dependent of the family.
If parents treated both boys and girls equally the same, the chances of jealous rivalry is almost ZERO percent.
Siblings can be friends and they can be allies towards each other or even against their parents too.
Siblings are able to learn, teach valuable lessons about family bonding, love and care among brothers and sisters if their relationships are strong and steadfast.
The importance of siblings relationship is essential because it builds up the confidence between each child and the trust that is not easily betrayed.
Same sex siblings benefit more compare to different sex siblings.
Regardless of age difference, sisters could easily reveal their problems, secrets and share same interest with each other.
Girls might find it harder to discuss personal problems with parents but it is easier for them to discuss with their same sex siblings.
Most girls find it easier to talk to older sister whom they can believe and trust each other.
Same sex siblings are alike best friends, best buddies, someone whom you can rely on each other.
Besides that, younger brothers are attached to their older brothers because they are dependable to each other.
In addition, younger brother treated older brother and even idolized him like a hero, a mentor that he would follow his footsteps.
Nevertheless, having different sex siblings do have some benefits too.
Conclusion
Parents should encourage children, regardless of sex gender to develop close bonding, no matter how, avoid showing favoritism towards one child.
Normally, middle child is always left out in between the older and the younger children. This is unfair to him/her.
Hence, try to blend all the children relationship in harmony, show them that strong bonding between brothers and sisters is crucial in order to maintain a happy family until adulthood.
Although siblings have different personalities and characterism , it is best to undo any siblings misunderstanding or arguments as early as possible.
It might be too late to amend or to apologize at later age because the damage had been done.

I am lucky that my siblings accept the differences and join to enjoy same passion in life. Unlike in other family, sibling rivalries are so evident. They cannot even try to understand the differences among them. Educating children by the parents take its role in times like this.
I have observed this scenario and have seen that same sex siblings are having good relationship in some families whereas in the case of others it is not so and the same happens to be the case in the case of the brothers and sisters too. I feel that parenting the kind of atmosphere and treatment meted out to them and they not feeling left out because of the other all play an important role in this case. I have also observes when these kids grow up many have strong bonds whether it is same sex siblings or be it a boys and girls. The chemistry between the two since the childhood and the behaviour of the elder sibling also have a role. But on the other side, I have seen them ending up in a cold relationship in both the cases due to one reason or the other. It all depends of their peer group, their parents and who they look up to. To be their role models. A very good article with lots of aspects to be thought about and analysed. Look forward to more such articles.
I can relate to this blog about siblings.
Having a sibling is not that happy all the time. There will always a conflict and misunderstanding. Sometimes, it came to a point where siblings will ignore each other. But at the end, siblings will always be siblings. Conflicts cannot be eliminated to everyone because it is what makes a relationship stronger.
My younger sister and I are close with each other. We almost share everything, clothes, foods and even our secrets. But we also come with many conflicts, but we try to resolve it after we get calm.
