  1. Looking back on my childhood, I feel that my parents:
    • Always paid more attention to my sibling -- even on my birthday!
    • Always paid attention to me and gave me plenty of love
    • Clearly loved me, but could have paid a tad more attention to me
  1. These days, when my sibling and I go home for the holidays:
    • We get along well, but still bicker like kids over what to do and what to eat
    • We silently compete over whose gift our parents will like the most
    • We trade gifts and celebrate as one big, happy family
