The holidays have a weird talent for dragging every adult straight back into their childhood bedroom and all the sibling rivalry that comes with it.

One minute you’re living your normal adult life, paying bills and buying your own groceries, and the next you’re standing in a room with the same faded poster on the wall and the same creaky twin bed that somehow got smaller over time. Or worse, your parents converted your old room into a guest room that’s now reserved exclusively for your aunt, which means you’re sharing a space with your sibling again. And let’s be real — it’s always the oldest sibling who gets displaced. The youngest remains the household’s prized possession, untouched and unbothered.
