My sisters are always fighting and talk behind each others back to our mother. They are in their late 30's.

Your mother would need to tell each of them she doesn't want to hear it and stick to it. But, all of them are part of a system, a struggle for mom's approval and she probably gets needs met keeping them fighting and unhappy instead of bringing them together.

Well, I suspect that the patterns that start in childhood can continue into adulthood. My family was always close. Now that we are adults and in our 30's and 40's we are extremely aware of the faults/differences between us. It doesn't matter. We were raised to respect differences whether within our out of the family. Of course, I live at least 8 hours from any of my 4 siblings, so we work hard to be nice to each other when we see each other. Don't know what they do behind my back. Don't care, either. I know my mom loves me (and they do too).

I think. cause me and my bros get along real good most of the time. And we always got each others backs. All siblings do! Plus siblings talking bout each other behind their backs aint nothing new. A lot of people I know do that. But in the they always pick their sibling over anyone. Usually

i have 2 siblings and we sometimes disagree. i am not sure if i would call it fighting because my 27 yr old brother comes to spend the weekend with me once a month. my sister and i however only speak to each other if we have something to say. we accepted a long time ago that we are different people who must agree to disagree. i love her and she loves me but we just dont socialize together. my mother makes it very clear that if she must take sides then she sides with the one left standing. not exactly the best parenting practice but it is very effective in making sure we work it out ourselves.
i have learned one thing...... like it or not they are family, and when it gets right down to it..... they are ALWAYS there for you when you say "i need you"

No. Depends on their raising partly and their level of maturity. Siblings will always have differences and be rivals for their parents attentions and compete with one another. Jesus said we were to forgive our Christian brothers and sisters seventy times seven in a day. He knows our human frailties and our make up you know!

I get along with my sisters now that we are older, but we hated each other as kids. I think maturity and living apart help a lot.

If you live with a person or are around somebody a lot, even if it's your best friend, you are bound to find irritating things about them.

Your mother is engaging in the behavior.
