You know what, I consider hitting and bullying among siblings to not even be in the same category as outside bullying. The actions might be the same, but the motivation is so COMPLETELY different. My kids can be animals, it seems, sometimes, and I have memories of my sisters and I being the same way; and other people always have stories, too. But NONE of us would ever take that out to other people; THAT is what I call bullying. Within the family, well, that is just part of growing up, learning behavior and methods for when you get out into the world. Sucks to be us, though.
