Question, or questions, for you:
If you have siblings, do you get along?
If you are a parent of more than one child, do they get along?
My two run extremely hot and extremely cold. I don't know how much, or even if, they are in touch with one another. They each hold grudges from their childhoods against the other, which I have only found out about recently. I don't have any details (and doubt that I want any), but the hurt is obviously deep.
One thing: if one of them is having a crisis, and has dumped said crisis on me, the other one will follow close behind with an emergency of his/her own. Today, I got it from both barrels. They're adults and need to sort things out on their own, but they're also still my babies. That they can't, or won't, turn to one another for even the tiniest bit of help hurts me.
What do I do? Has a mother entering her children's frays ever been a good idea?

My twinnie, on the other hand...
My husband's siblings are a whole 'nother story. One lives less than 20 miles from us, and we have not seen him in over 5 years. So I don't think there are any hard and fast rules for siblings.
