Plus: Should I just stop talking to my sneaky co-worker?
My two daughters are a little over a year apart and are in constant competition with each other in every aspect of life.They are 12 and 13 years old, and they constantly fight with each other about who has better grades, who’s more athletic or who is prettier.
I worry that this ongoing competition is damaging my daughters’ relationship and their self-esteem. Instead of supporting and uplifting each other, they seem to be tearing each other down. I want them to have a healthy relationship and to be able to celebrate each other’s successes rather than viewing them as threats.
They are at a competitive age, but you are right to want to reinforce love rather than envy. Remind them that family is important and that you always want them to have each other. Our boss hates conflict, especially between employees, but I want to address this situation with Alex professionally to ensure proper recognition in the future. At the same time, I might just stop talking to him altogether.Dear Abby: I blew off the teacher’s concerns, and now I feel so guilty about my son
