I'm the youngest of six. I have two older Sisters and three older brothers. We have had disagreements but we don't yell or argue. I refuse to argue with them. I listen and if I feel differently I say, oh, that's cool, I guess we all have our own Way's and Opinions. Or I just listen.

My Father's side of the family fought, didn't talk for year's. I can't imagine not talking to my family for year's. I don't see them all the time but when we do it's good. Basically they live their lives and I live mine. As others have said, if it's possible live apart. God Bless

Hi! I'm a young adult woman, currently living with my identical twin sister. We live together, and work together, and share most of the same friends. We definitely spend most of our time together. We argue and bicker over the dumbest things.

God bless!

well, I can relate to the sibling issues. I wish I had answers for you, but I don't. It seems reasonable to ask her to talk about it and see if you can work it out. But in reality I know that can be much easier said than done. Is one the instigator and one the reactive one? Maybe you could somehow ask for an objective observer to help pinpoint the issue, maybe you are not aware of what may be contributing. I agree with another poster, the screaming is counterproductive. I have gotten better at shutting that down and asking, can we have a calm productive conversation right now without screaming? If not, we need to reconvene.
