I'm a middle child, so felt rivalry with my sister for being the baby of the family and with my brother for being the oldest and a boy who didn't have to do any household chores, they were for girls.
My sister and I discovered as adults that we'd been envious of each other: she of me because she thought I was prettier and I was good at school work, me of her because I thought she was prettier and she was good at sports.
I don't know if it happens in families with parents who don't play favourites, but my parents certainly did, in lots of ways.
