I know this makes me sound anti-American but I don't particularly car for the Olympics. When I'm watching the events I feel like I'm watching gym class. So I avoid it.
That said, this week's Red Writing Hood prompt was "Going for the Gold", with our choice of three different Olympic-themed challenges. I chose the 100 meter Sprint in which I have 100 words to write on conflict, competition or game.

Ouch. That sucks. Makes me wonder what people see that they need to compete like that with family. Great job on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteVery nice response to the prompt! I think there's a reason that sibling rivalry goes all the way back to Cain and Abel. There's something about that relationship that can be very good or very bad...sometimes both at the same time!

DeleteSucks eggs, definitely. Family is supposed to rally around you, not force your back to the wall. They'll learn if and when they want to change, but unfortunately not before. Just be secure in the knowledge that it isn't you and try not to get wrapped up in their games.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the support.
DeleteI agree ouch! I don't understand family dynamics like that, but understand more and more how bad some others have it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWhile I don't have family like that, I know plenty of people like that. It's definitely no fun, but I can't imagine if my siblings were like that.

Thank you for stopping by
DeleteSo sad. It's sad how often family rival with each other. Sad, but it's true. Loved the flow of the piece too.
ReplyDeleteThank you!!
