Harriette Cole: My daughters have stopped speaking because of a stupid joke
Briefly

Sibling disagreements can arise unexpectedly, often stemming from insensitive remarks or comparisons. One family experienced an extended rift after a joke about tuition led to a fierce argument. Attempts to mediate through apologies were ineffective. Instead, it’s important to facilitate dialogue about care and needs, emphasizing that family should value relationships over conflicts. Encouraging sisters to forgive each other and focus on rebuilding their bond rather than dwelling on past grievances can foster a healthier family dynamic.
You have cared for each of your daughters to the best of your ability and individually based on their needs. It pains you to see that there would be any jealousy or envy sparked by how you provided for their education or anything else, for that matter.
Ask them to forgive each other for any hurtful words or actions and to commit to reclaiming their sisterhood. Sometimes you just have to let go of the past.
