Growing up with siblings has its ups and downs. Sometimes, it’s like having a built-in best friend you get to hang out with whenever you want, while other times it’s like trying to live with your worst enemy. We’ve all heard of the cliche arguments between sisters and the constant competition between brothers. But sister-on-brother relationships are more of a wild card. I grew up with an older brother, and while I’m sure I was the most annoying little sister ever, there was just enough of an age gap for him to take on the protective big brother role instead of fighting back. But not all sibling relationships are as peaceful. Take the siblings in this story for example. 

For this 13-year-old boy and his 11-year-old sister, the age gap isn’t big enough to cool the flames. Instead of the typical playful teasing, things escalate to next-level snitching and privacy invasions that is tearing their family apart. Kudos to their dad for stepping in when things went too far. But as for their mom… not so much.
