I have the same issue with my kids right now which is why maybe I'm more sensitive to this currently

My son reacts over the top angry with anything his sister does (yelling, refusing to talk to her, etc) that is even mildly annoying. On her side, she does thing I can see to purposefully annoy him or at least get a reaction from him.
But what I tell him is that only *he* can control his reaction and it's in appropriate and getting him in trouble with us because it's disrupting and disrespectful. At the same time I'm telling her that she needs to control her behavior and treat her brother like she treats her other friends which she has no issues with. It's problem on both sides and in simplistic terms, it is a fair bit about how he reacts to her. I don't think it will get better until he changes that and she starts to see respect coming to her from him. I also see that she has a big part in what's going on.
The parallels are scary to me
