SIBLINGS: In European and related traditions, the study of child development has included sibling relationships as important factors in personality formation. In many traditional cultures, the rights and obligations that obtain between full siblings are among the most sacrosanct(extremely sacred,above or beyond critisim) of all the ties that bind kinship groups together.
I feel blessed that my children have each other. They love each other, are kind to each other, and actually seem to really like each other. I have two older brothers that I feel the same way about. They have always made my life richer and it gives me comfort to know that there are two people in the world who are so similar to me, that have had so many of the same life experiences. I have a friend who only has one child. She says it's too expensive. My response to her is, "You want to give your child everything, give them a sibling."
