It is not news that sibling relationships can be complicated. As a popular saying goes, “I will give them my kidney, but not my charger.” That means that while usually, most siblings love each other, they still fight due to seemingly superficial reasons.
At the same time, even with simple reasons, some siblings tend to go too far. And that’s today’s story – a sister going too far picking on her brother and causing family drama because of it.

Their mother says the woman shouldn’t have intervened, as it wasn’t her business to deal with and she doesn’t know the whole story
It could be said that in today’s story, the OP isn’t the main character, rather a witness to her siblings’ fight. She only got involved after she tried to take her brother’s side.
So, you might wonder, what was that fight about? Well, technically, it was about nothing. To be more specific, it was the sister Ella constantly picking on her brother Finn for no reason, just because she can. And she picks on him for nearly everything he does or says – his long hair, intelligence, hobbies and even friends.
Later, Finn, trying to be friendly, asked Ella about her plans, which made her answer with a sarcastic remark. That quickly turned into a screaming contest between all the siblings. During all the yelling, Finn made a remark about Ella’s friends, which made her even more upset.
The phrase made Ella storm off. Later, the siblings’ mom said the OP shouldn’t have intervened at all, because she doesn’t know the whole situation, as she doesn’t live with them all the time. She also ordered her oldest daughter to stay out of the family’s business and just make up for Christmas. That prompted her to come to Reddit to ask if she was wrong for saying what she said.

Interestingly, sibling rivalry doesn’t only appear in humans. In fact, in some animal species, this rivalry (usually for food and parental attention) goes to the extent of one sibling killing another.For example, when egret chicks first hatch, their parents bring back enough food to nurture the whole group of chicks. Sadly, later, when they get bigger, the amount of food becomes too small, which prompts sibling rivalry.On the other hand, siblings in the animal world aren’t always as competitive and possibly lethal. For instance, wolves, when they become older siblings, tend to help to feed and guard the younger ones.
So, relating this information to the Reddit story, we think that the parents should think before indulging their daughter’s antagonism toward her brother. It doesn’t seem like a fun activity for anyone except her. It’s good that people do not have a tendency to take sibling rivalry to the lethal level – otherwise, the story’s ending would be way sadder than the family planning to make up during Christmas.
Internet folks declared that the oldest sister isn’t the one to blame for intervening, but the mother, who told her to stay out of it, should be
