try to evaluate yourself as a Sister!

My sister's and I are pretty close but sometimes I see where we aren't. We do a lot together and we share mostly everything with each other but I noticed as we grow older more things get in the way.

We all are married and it's sometimes almost like a competition. I noticed that I fall prey to this a lot as well. I never really mean to but I guess it's part of human nature at times. Sometimes it's so stressful because I love my sisters but I get sometimes get envious or jealous of them without realizing what I'm doing.

Also, we all seem to nip pick on each other and the others husbands. It's really sad because I want us to remain close but at the same time it's frustrating to see things that go on and you can't help but get upset about little things here and there. I guess the important thing for us to do is to remain as close as we can and never let these little things get in the way of being sisters. Sisters are a bond that is special and we're apart of each other whether we like it some days or not...

I have 3 sisters-1 older and 2 younger. When we lived in the same house we pretty much hated each other, having to share a bathroom, having to see each other every day. We all fought alot. Now that we've grown up and we all live in different places, we get along much better. We call each other on the phone or we text message at least a couple of times a week. When we do see each other it's like a party b/c we don't see each other that much. I think I'm a good sister. I try to be. I am extremely fiercely loyal to them. I would (and have) dropped everything to help them. I am their cheerleader. I want them to do well in life and I hope that they want the same for me. I love them even though they can be annoying sometimes. I'm sure they think the same of me too.

I have an older sister, we talk to each other, I would visit her but never really hung around with her. A couple of years back, I use to go over her house for the bbq's that she would have. She would talk to me, have a beer with her, but as soon as my cousin would show up, I be left out,like if i wasn't there. My husband would tell me, why does she do that to you, and why do want to keep going over. I never notice it until he mentioned it to me. Once again, she had another bbq, we went and I told my husband that when I notice what she was doing we would leave. Sure enough it happen. We left. It took many years before I went to her house again. Things change, he husband passed away, she now calls me more often, we go together but only the two of us. My husband will go with us if we go to the casinos. But when she inivites me and my cousin is going, i tell her I can't. I'll make up an excuse why I can't go. I've also told her that I don't feel comfrontable when ever she is around. I'm the type of sister that she can depend on, I'll drop everything to help her out, if she needs I will ask her if she needs my help she can count on me. But I also believe that I have more feeling that her, I'm more of a people person, more outgoing and always willing to do something. I feel that I'm close but not close enough. If she had to pick, I truly believe she pick my cousin over me.

I am an only child checapricorn and so I do not know what it is like to have siblings. I always wanted them you know, it was lonely at times being alone. I sometimes see sisters that are so close they have no need of any other friends they always have each other and I envy that closeness. Where I live there are a lot of sisters who are really close.

I wonder if I could adopt a sister!

It's good that your sister is like your best friend.
In the perfect world, everyone would have a big
or little sister like you!

I don't have a sister, so I try to be a sister
to all my friends and care for them, like I'm their
mom, except without all the positive nagging! LOL!

I'm a mom, too, so I know about nagging.
It's just done out of love and not mean spirited.

Hi
I have a sister who is three years older than me. When we were growing up we use to fight terribly and i would come off worst.
But as soon as we moved out of home and both had our own places we got on alot better.
Before my sister moved away we did use to go out together usually shopping.
Now that we live in different towns we don't see each other as much, maybe twice a year, but we both know that we will always be there for each other when we are needed.
We also text each other regularly to see how our families are doing. So i would say that we are quite close now that we are older.

hello che,
my sister and i have the best relationship (IMHO) and i feel that i am very blessed to have her in my life.
anyway, my mom got separated when i was at a young age but i have told her that i would like to have a younger sister coz my estrange brother and i dont get along well (yea from childhood till now) so i am very happy that when my dad left he left with a baby that i can take care of.
i am 7 years older (but others say she looks older than me haha) than her but that gap never becomes an issue and she becomes like my little sister con kid. i said ":kid" coz my mom works full time and she often left my sister with me and take care of her while she is gone.
anyway, that helps us bond more like a mother-daughter, as she grows up she will tell me everything and ask me anything, it makes me smile thinking about thsoe times that we will go to the mall and she will give me subtle hints that she wants something (which she often gets - yeah she always comes first before me)
her line is often like this .... 'oh that is so cute, all my classmates have that except me' and give me that puppy look haha!
so before we go home she will get whatever it is (of course if my budget permits)
she never have the problem of being spoiled and one thing that she always tell me that she have learned from me is NOT TO LIE...
when she is a kid she will always make up something and i told her that one day i will not gonna be there to believe her and that will be because she trained me not to believe her by fooling me often.
since then she tells me everythinga nd never lied to me coz she respect and love me more than i can imagine.
it is funny that i always try to protect her growing up but when she grows up she is the one protecting me coz i am more of a girly kind and she is the protector kind.
she lived with us when we are in china coz she prefer to stay with me than my mom and that makes the bond more stronger.
when she met her hubby (boyfriend then) she is so shy and was like a craazy cat when she asked me if i can talk to her.
i have supported her all her life and she often tells me that she loves me more than our mom, i told her she shouldnt feel that way coz that is not good but i guess because she sees me as a mother figure than our mom.
anyway, she is my precious gift and i cant wait to see her again.
she is living in finland now and studying there but we always talk and communicate as much as we can.
so the month of december is something very special for us coz she is coming over with her hubby for 3 weeks. lot's of fun and catching up (as if the calling and sms is not enough LOL)

she is a greaat person and i amm happy that she grows up the way she is. that makes me happy and proud coz i know i have directed her to a life that is rightful for her.
i couldnt ask for more.

you're bad che! you make me miss her so much,,, hmmmmmmmmmm

takecare!

I haven't a sister so I really can't answer that for me but my own daughters are sisters and they share everything with each other more so than they do with me and as mother and daughters we are close. They go out and have fun together but always confide in one another which I think is lovely. They have girlie nights in eating pizza and watching DVDs and just being silly but I am sure they also have things that they just share with their friends probably about the sister LOL. Ellie:D

i have only two sister and we dont have a brother. i am the middle born, so that makes one sister older than i am and one sister younger than i am. me and the younger one grew close. we shared a lot of things together. she is married to a japanese and is now living there. but last january she got pregnant we are all so happy because she is married for 5 years now and we are all excited to see her baby. i have four children and i am a single mom. since i know a lot about babies my younger sister decided to go home here in the philippines and to wait for the delivery here. now we are always together. we share a lot in common. we are both singers, we love cross stitch. we love watching movies and talking. now i am sure you are wondering where is the older sister. we grew up like this. she thinks she is superior and grew up bossing us around. she never even teach us in our assignments and she always call herself intelligent. now that the youngest is here in the philippines she just text to us.... not everyday but sometimes once a week only. but dont get us wrong we love our ate so much. we buy her clothes, and stuffs. i even gave her a cell phone when i came home from japan but still she was not that close to us. i hope she realizes that she is so lucky having us as her sisters. she has no boyfriend (still single) and she always have new sets of friends (no permanent). i dont know if she is happy with her life but me and the younger one hopes that she is happy. even on relatives get together she is not present. we always reach out to her but..... ouch my response is getting long already. i hope i didnt bore you. i just hope that my ate realizes that we love her and we are always here for her. and as for you it is not yet late. reach out to your sister, we only have one life to live why not make the best of it.

I hear you --I miss my sister as we now live far apart. I wish I had done more things with her when we were younger. (Love Ya Shell)
One thing we do together now is an organizaton called Sisters Keepers her chapter is in NY and Mine is in the Virgin Islands. we do outreach to women who are hurting through sickness or death in the family.
