Siblings are built-in best friends—until they’re not. When tempers flare over toys, screen time, or who got the bigger slice of cake, what seems like harmless bickering can have long-lasting consequences. The real cost of sibling fights goes beyond the occasional door slam or tattling spree. These ongoing conflicts can take a toll on your household’s emotional health, family relationships, and yes, even your wallet. Understanding what’s at stake is the first step toward building more harmony at home.
