Sibling rivalry

Just mentioning the term "sibling rivalry" is enough to elicit fond memories of childhood arguments between sisters or a parent's memories of how their sons were always beating each other up. Sibling rivalry is alive and well. Since the first siblings that ever were, there has been sibling rivalry. This feeling of completion and animosity spares no one but the only child. Providing an explanation for sibling rivalry is a challenge. There are many theories, but still no one theory that manages to cover all of the variables in the rivalry that exists between siblings.
