Selfish stepmother, Kathleen, and stepbrother refuse to eat anywhere due to their picky food requirements, 22-year-old stepson excludes them from birthday dinner: ‘My restaurant didn’t meet their needs’

‘This set off a domino effect’: Mom bans kids from bringing their expensive toys over step-sibling jealousy, so they choose to live with dad who respects their boundaries

A sibling bond is like no other. My sister and I are the only people alive who know precisely what it was like to grow up with our parents in our family. We’ve spent so much time together just because of the accident of our births, and there’s nobody I’d rather have as my sibling. …

Some families pass down heirlooms or secret recipes, but this one prefers to lob emotional hot potatoes across generational lines and see who can stand the heat.

You can’t force a healthy relationship between siblings; that is something almost every show on Nickelodeon and Disney has taught us.
