Having more than one child brings a unique dynamic to family life, often creating a mix of camaraderie and conflict. Siblings can be each other’s best friends or worst enemies—sometimes both within the same hour. When they come together, it can feel like you’re living in a chaotic comedy show.
From incessant bickering to moments of unexpected unity, parenting is a rollercoaster of emotions. You referee their fights, shed a few tears, and just when you’re at your wits’ end, they reconcile, leaving you wondering why you ever worried. It’s much like childbirth; you forget the madness when they team up. Thankfully, the witty parents on Twitter share their relatable experiences, shedding light on the hilarity of sibling relationships.
- The Real Deal
Once you survive the exhausting baby stage, you might think your kids should keep each other entertained. This was the entire purpose of adding another child to the mix, after all. So, go ahead and play with your sibling—I’ve earned these extra stretch marks! - A Beautiful Bond
The start of a memorable friendship—albeit a contentious one at times. - The Small Stuff

Once the eldest reaches a certain maturity, it’s time to put them to work—snack fetching, homework assistance, and tying shoes—while you put your feet up. You deserve it! - Is This an Apology?
Does begging for an apology count if it takes 17 attempts? It becomes quite robotic over time and fits right in with our Greatest Hits—“because I said so” and “I’m counting to three.” - Allies Against the Parent
The real adversary is you, of course. Yet, at least they aren’t at each other’s throats for a few moments. - Hypocritical Parenting
Yelling at kids to stop yelling is a classic parenting paradox. - Limited Empathy
Their compassion has its boundaries. We can’t expect too much. - Siblings Summed Up
