sibling relationship
Shared-parent family tie
A sibling relationship is the bond between brothers and sisters—whether biological, adoptive, or step.
The term emphasizes the ongoing dynamic rather than just the biological fact: Their sibling relationship improved after they left home.
Sibling relationships often combine rivalry, loyalty, and shared history in ways other relationships don't.
