Sibling rivalry
의미: Competition, jealousy, or conflict between brothers and sisters.
Sibling rivalry is the often-intense competition between siblings — for parental attention, for achievement, or just for the last slice of pizza. It can range from harmless teasing to deep-seated resentment that lasts into adulthood. American culture loves depicting sibling rivalry in movies and TV because it's so universally relatable.
