Urlee Smptms ov Mnhud 'n Wmnhd... ze Bad Knd

Observing my younger sister and her best friend (a boy) play, I see the battle of dominance taking place. Both want it their way, both want to be first, and both want to be better. Talk about competitive. Also, my sister kept on nagging him about how he should just stop playing video games once in a while and actually start playin' wit' her... (sounds familiar, ladies?) but her friend kept his eyes on the prize... finishing level whatever it is. The last time they played, she hid her video game somewhere so that he'd play with her instead of the game. They both ended up playin' with the computer instead, as a prize of winning some silly game I set up for them, arguing about who'll go first. Of course both want to be first, and they ended up fighting for dominance over my P.C. (note the emphasis on the word my... lolz) Well, anyway, it took all day... they were all friends five seconds ago then the worst of enemies afterwards... resorting to inflicting physical harm towards one another (which was probably worst thing they had ever done to each other) then making up after minutes of restless crying, whining, and apologizing (afraid that they'll stop being friends which led to more crying on his part 'cuz she won't forgive. And oh yeah, he's at our place)

Those actions are seemingly childish because of the situation but looking at things it's no less different than a man and a woman competing for a job opportunity, a wife or a girlfriend trying to convince her man to pay attention to her instead of his hobbies (and he never stops), a man and a woman who are not able to compromise end up arguing, or worse, resorting to physical harm. Unforgiving actions towards one another (which also involves pointing fingers and such). This is really what's going on. Those childish actions show the earlier symptoms of unhealthy male and female relationship. Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this isn't the early signs of maturity... some men and women of today just didn't mature and their actions are that of a child's. Personally, I'll go for the latter theory.
