Are you a good sister?

I am the youngest and not really the baby of the family. Because my siblings did not treat me like a baby ever since but taught me to stand on my own and deal with my life squarely.
No regrets at all because they made me for what I am right now. And in return, I tried to be good with them. Even sometimes I don't understand them and the decisions they are making.

I'd like to think that I am. I have 3 siblings. One elder sister, one elder brother and a younger sister. We all have our own families but distance may separate us, we make ways to keep the communication alive between us. I'm not the perfect sister because I have my flaws. But I do try to be a sister that my 3 siblings can be proud of.
Whenever they need to voice out their fears or any problems or heartaches, I try to be available for them. I don't need to say anything. I just need to listen. I don't create any conflict that may cause problems between my siblings and I. And most importantly, I don't do anything that will make me the source of their envy. I make sure that they don't have to worry that I'm the apple of the eyes of my parents. It's all equality between us.

Communication is very important in any kind of relationships.

I do believe that I am a good sister. I am the eldest and I have two younger siblings. Ever since I can remember I have always been there for my sisters no matter what. You could even say that I was some what of a second mother to them. After my parents had gotten a divorce I had to be an example and role model for my sisters. My mother was going through a lot and wasn't there for any of us as much as she should have been. We were living with my grandmother and she was in an early stage of Alzheimer's and glaucoma. I was pretty much depended on for everything, but I really do believe that I am a good sister. An my sisters would agree. I love them and will always support them in everything that they do because they're my little sisters and they mean the world to me. Even though we fuss and fight sometimes one thing will never change is the love that we have for each other and that is something that a lot of siblings may not have. I feel that I am truly blessed to have them and to be their big sister.

You are a good sister indeed. Your love for your younger siblings is unequal.

hi dear friend, i think i am a very good sister . i have a younger sister and i take care of her . when i was not married i use to look after her , and her needs as a mother . i use to take care of her school, outings, dresses, fashion everything and i because i went through that age , i think , as compare to our mother , i could more easily handle the situations that use to come and because the generation gap was less, our wavelength use to match more. now i am married and i miss her like anything. i am having a daughter and it is never that if i buy anything for my daughter, i forgot buying something for her.i always take care of that. i never thought , that she should also do something for me or buy something for me or spend money on me. never. that thought in itself never came to my mind . i donno why. i think i was older, because of that, or something, i donno. i am with her , i am behind her and i am infront of her in all the situations that come in her life and will come in her life. she is not just a sibling, but like a daughter to me .

Your younger sister must be too lucky to have you as her second parent.

I could says that I am a good sister and a good daughter to my parents. My eldest sister got married earlier and her responsibilities falls on my shoulder, I am the second child. I got a younger brother and youngest sister. When, they are still small, I am the one who teach them to read or teach them in their assignment, then also help in the errands and housekeeping, and care for them when they are sick. Now, hat they are all adults they never forget what I have done to them. They thanks me and help me in return. Even though i never ask them to repay me they still insist on helping me and this the way they show their kindness and gratitude.

hello izathewzia, i am youngest too and like you, am no baby of the family. it's the 2nd to the eldest. i don't know why? but maybe because she's so sweet, my parent's (especially my father) can't say no whatever she wants. but i have no regrets of that too, i just love my sisters! i have 2.
i think i am a good sister coz i feel that they love me, they cares a lot for me. especially this sister i mentioned who is quiet stubborn at all times, we are in one roof, she's holding on me, she listened to my advices, coz she know that i understand her, of what's going on to her life...and i am always here to support here, anywhere, anytime.
