I am sooo guilty of this sin. I’m a first born and have a little brother. I feel like he causes problems lot’s of times when he knows I’m down and knows he can get me frusterated, angry, and in trouble really easily. But most of the time I act like a total pharisee to him, like I with my small occasional sins am better than him. I’ve got to get the log out of my own eye, before the speck in my brother’s eye, and realize that we’re both sinners and sin is sin no matter what!

Getting mad at siblings is extremely easy to do! And saying I was wrong is extremely hard to do!! Which is a huge problem! Siblings alot times get the frustrations that we/I feel towards other people—which isn’t right at all! Admitting your wrong to your siblings is really hard and something I never really want to do! I know God will bless it when I do but it’s still hard.. But i think it’s alot harder going along and not saying you were wrong then actually saying it!
God Bless

Just wondering, what if the other party refuses to “dig out the decay” and confront issues while you want to do so and fix it? Is there anything we can do?

WOW. Saying “I was wrong” is a really hard thing for the oldest to do, but it is so necessary sometimes for a good relationship. Thanks so much!!

This is really helpful!!! I am the oldest of four kids and its tough sometimes. Especially since they are all boys.
I totally agree with how hard it is to say that you were wrong!! Thanks!!

Thanks for saying that! All that is so true! Those are one of the problems I have quite often with my siblings. And when it’s my fault, it’s hard to admit. And your right about being humble. It is hard to do, but it’s the right thing.

Thanks for this series. I was interested in it b/c I have 3 other siblings. Our ages range from almost 6 to almost 13. I’m the oldest and I admit that I do have a hard time getting along with my siblings sometimes. And I really don’t like to admit I’m wrong. Sometimes I have to get the last word in and absolutely prove my point that I’m right and the other person is wrong. I’m still working on it but you offer good advice. I don’t like to talk things through most of the time. Thanks again.
