Still Keeping Score?
For most of us, sibling rivalry never really ends. It just goes underground. It hardens into estrangement, softens into resigned love, or sits quietly in the room every time the family gathers.
In this episode of The Grannies, Adesewa Josh and Jane Isay go there — the unspoken competitions, the wounds that never closed, the grief of watching a sibling die before something was resolved between you. They also go global: the eldest child who never signed the contract they were handed, the sibling who emigrated while one stayed behind, the brothers who inherited and the sisters who didn't.
And the question underneath all of it: what did your sibling teach you about who you were — and how much of that is still running your life?
This one is for anyone who has ever loved a sibling, resented a sibling, lost a sibling — or is still trying to figure out what to do with all three at once.
