I have two daughters, Karen and Sarah, who are only two years apart. Since they were young, they’ve never been particularly close, though they never had serious conflicts either. The main difference between them lay in their personalities. Karen always struggled with everything: from academics to social relationships. Sarah, on the other hand, seemed to navigate life with ease. Now, as adults, Karen has involved her son, Michael, in a relentless competition to outdo her nephew, Jackson, Sarah’s son. And I feel powerless to stop it.
