Lesson 32: Siblings and Friends - Slide 7
No Rules To Guide Us In
Relating To Siblings
- With sisters and brothers, we can ignore, create distance, celebrate or assist them but above all in our culture, we can make the rules
- There are no guidelines for being an adult sibling in this society
- Brothers and sisters have
no culturally defined joint
obligation, except perhaps
to care for their aging
parents
