Default Sibling troubles...

I have siblings and I get into fights with them a lot. There are so many times when I think they're being unfair and selfish about a lot of things. I think that many times, they do a lot of bad things and if I tell them something, they would just get angry at me and say a remark back that is clearly a remark saying that they're not able to come up with anything better. We used to be close and now, we fight a lot. Is this normal? My parents thinks that we're drifting apart and...well, I'm just not sure. What do I do?

How old are your siblings? I know from personal experience that it is normal to fight with our siblings and sometimes really bad. I mean me and my sister use to always be at each other's neck for years but now we get along just fine.

My siblings are a few year younger than me around their early teenage years. The problem is, I don't think we're able to get along anymore. I just get so angry at them for the childish and selfish things that they do. If I do try to say something back, they criticize my intelligent remarks by mimicking what I say. It's annoying and irritating so I don't know how to deal with this anymore.

I agree it is annoying and i was kinda the same way with me and my sister. We fought for years and years and never thought that we would get along. But now we get along really well.

How did you and your sister begin to get along well? Was it due to you going away?

I would imagine so. I definitely think that this is an option that would be beneficial to both of the party if both had time apart from each other. Thanks, BabyNobert. I appreciate the advice.

You guys are probably going through a lot of changes in your life at this time. Try to look at your sisters with a proper perspective. Be reminded that they are your sisters whom you love, have a history with, and take some time out to celebrate the time you now have at this point in your life to spend with one another. It will not always be that way. Consider a consistent time (maybe once a week, every 2 weeks, etc...) that you guys can do a mutually enjoyable activity, such as get a water ice, go to a park, go to a museum, etc... You can do it!

Look, that is the problem. I can't seem to ask them out because it would seem pretty awkward to do so. They would probably look at me with a weird expression probably thinking that I was weird for asking them to spend time with them. I'm hoping that when I move away and come back, it would turn out to be better due to the time that we've been apart. I want to be in a mutual and healthy relationship with them again, but from the looks of it, the only way that might work is to move away and then coming back. We're angry at each other for various reasons.
