I am the oldest of four girls me 14 my sisters are 9, 10, and 6. Honestly we get in LOTS of arguments and I am "always right" it is hard to just give up but As you showed it is needed even when the littlest one is arguing and is honestly wrong (like when she tried to tell me that door was spelled with b instead of d) I would like to say thank you for this post it really hit home for me.

It is the accumulative weight of our disciplines and our judgments that leads us to either fortune or failure."--Jim Rohn One of my all time favorite quotes seems very fitting here “Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.

Now that I read this, a verse from the Beatitudes in the beginning of Matthew 5 comes to mind- "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Reading this article made me realize that being meek is more than just letting my sister win and dropping the argument. It goes beyond that; it could even be used as an exercize to do a little hard thing in preparation to doing bigger hard things. I want a good relationship with my sister now and in the future, so I will take this advice and do my best to live it out. Thank you for writing this article!

My little brothers and I have all shared one bedroom for years and we are homeschooled. Yea, I know you can see how crazy it was in your head... Well, it was worse than that! Ha-ha. :) But we are stronger for it. We get better at getting along with one another everyday. (Hard to tell some days :) ) As I watch them get older they get less and less irritating and more and more helpful. When ever they act out, I think, was I this way? My parents had to put up with me without an older brother to help! Everything they learn is easier for them to learn than it was for me, because I didn't have a “cool big bro” like me to help out. (They have never called me that yet) Don't worry big brothers and sisters! Little siblings do grow up! :) I’m 18 and the oldest of 5 (3 brothers and 1 sister).

I have twin 8 year old brothers and they are so irritating when one is having a bad day they want everyone else to have one! like this morning my one brother kept making annoying noises and I new that the Lord was testing me through my brother! And I just ignored him and prayed a silent prayer and before I knew it he stoped and i passed! I know I am not a teen yet I am actually a tween! (12) But when you are young there is alot you can learn I loved your post and it gave me great advice and told me that even the little things in life need the help of the savior of the world! Great job! ~Kalle~ Stephen,

The trouble I have with my siblings is a) just sin--I want to win and win all the time; I'm working on that b) when I do let my siblings win, they keep taking. For example, if it were the drawer issue, they'd take that and keep on pushing for more of the space I have been allotted and the space I have currently been using. Any advice? Thanks for this!
