In a large family of girls and one or two boys, there is many times that one sister who turns all of them against the minority; sister(s) in law. How does one go about stopping this? It happens at family simchos at regular shabbos table discussions or at family reunions/trips. Thanks for your program.
Thank you for your program! I am an avid listener and I have a question for you. How does a wife influence her husband to take on a shuir even if he is not really interested? Also how does she accept his non-willing attitude without him downgrading in her eyes?
How do you stop sibling rivalry among married adult children? I am from a family with many daughters and one boy and there is so much animosity towards the lone sister in law. One sister creates a bad view of her and manipulates all of us to feel that way and we all create a feeling an outsider towards her. I feel horrible and want to stop it but I am unsure how. Please give me some advice on how to stop this rift in the family.
Although I dont have siblings, I have been on the receiving end of such treatment by a close family friend. Their oldest daughter took to speaking volumes of loshon hara/motzei shem ra about my husband and children right to my face during the Shabbosim/Yomim Tovim we spent together. This treatment eventually filtered to her siblings and now she gets to spend those times with her parents…everyone responded to her treatment by making their own Yom Tov and going to visit on weeks for Shabbosim that she wouldn’t be around. Turns out that is what she wanted in the first place…she was willing to alienate her siblings and embarrass herself in front of anyone in order to get her parents to herself. Maybe this is what the daughters need…just have each family individually for shabbosim so that they feel like they are getting their own time and maybe the fighting/bullying will stop.
