I know of a situation in which one brother, as an adult, became highly educated and is in an important position while the other brother, although he has a good family and is doing well financially, is jealous of his brother and does not want he or his family to have much contact with him. I think life takes siblings down different paths and they grow apart. It is so sad that, even when a parent is seriously ill or in the dying process, that that often brings out the worse in siblings and they fight and grow even further apart. This happens frequently.

That is a very good question. I have 3 sisters and 3 brothers and we are not as close as we were in childhood, main reason everybody start a new family, new life, plans and who knows maybe own choice. It's hard to be together as before because we don't live in same house. Some of us live in different states and countries and life get difficult. The time you can share with your family is different, no more childhood games, time just don't pass, teach us.

Because they dont have must time to spend with eachother and more over their likes and dislikes will change. And due to some kind of tensions they will behave like this.
As and when they get seperated from the same roof they will realize their feeling towards them.
Its true it happend in my case.

Simple,the younger you are,the more carefree you are.
You encounter less problems,at first you have problems,you will turn to your siblings.But when your sibling could't help you,you will turn to others.Then,you will start to turn to others no matter what you encounter.Start to dislike when you feel the one that you like the most and trust could't be any help in your life.Its anger and slowly turned to hatred.

No!......it's not always so.
When you were small your parents provided for everything......... and all brother & sisters are cared for............mostly evenly & fairly.................and there's not a worry in the world.
When you're grown up and have your own family........... friends......... .jobs..........stress.......pressure.......ups..........& downs.......good days & bad days
......you would need a lot of self control........ tolerance........ generosity & gentle kindness to be able to keep smiling & loving each other.
The big unspoken problem is...........in our mind we tend to get irritated more by our siblings than friends when they do not respond to us the way we expected (.....very often in our mind we keep the words carved in concrete......."why he/she doesnt understand........we grew up together!")
Thus......our demand of our siblings is different from that we demand from our friends............and therefore.........very often our level of tolerance to others is higher.............so also our level of fogiveness towards others is more than that for our siblings!
Sadly.........sometimes this is miss-understood under the pretext of " ....familiarity breeds contempt....."
Of coz.......... this is not always true.........there are many siblings who would stick together thru hell & storms!
Just by asking your question......I believe you would get along better with your siblings from now on. ........take care!

Just like everyone else they grow up and grow apart. when your little kids you like the same things. When you grow up you start to like different things and sometimes come to find out you do not like eachother.
Its not a bad thing. just things that happen in familys.
