Web Sightings

Many of us have brothers and sisters who do more than drive us crazy by asking for money or monopolizing our mother's baby-sitting time. In some ways, they help define us. Here's a look at some of the top sibling sites on the Web.

Last year, Time magazine ran an extensive story about the role siblings play in a person's development. Say what you want about friends and spouses, the article points out, but "Siblings," says family sociologist Katherine Conger of the University of California, Davis, "are with us for the whole journey."

Do your children constantly compete against each other? The University of Michigan Health System has some tips for parents who see their children engage in constant rivalries over test scores, points in a basketball game or "who can hold their breath the longest."

TRAGIC ACCIDENT

http://www.snopes.com/horrors/traffic/siblings.asp

Many people have heard of an urban legend concerning two sisters who were killed in a head-on car crash with each other. In this case, unfortunately, it turns out to be true. Snopes.com has the details of the 2002 deaths, as well as other similar situations.

FIGHTING SISTERS

OK, this article appears on Lifetime's Web site, which may be home to more weepy sister moments than any other TV network. That doesn't mean there isn't some good advice there, especially if you're a grown woman who still fights with her sister.
