All family members are so important to the family dynamic. Siblings seem to form their own sub-family. There is the family when Mom and Dad are in the room as authority figures. Then there is the family in the room when the parents are out of the room and the siblings are in charge. It is fascinating to watch the politics of siblings. It can be wonderful and horrible. Catherine Wayland our editor and her brother Michael Wayland our Family Man columnist have one of the very special sibling relationships. They share some great friendship chats in their Sibling Talk Series.
