Annoying sister

quote; ‘when my friends are over, and when im eating. its gross…plus she ets her snot…shes 11!!!’ - eeew!!!

and I agree with ty, she sounds like she’s desperate for attention. you’re her big sister, she may have given up emulating you and gone of to annoy you to get attention.

I am the middle child, so I have had both situations. and I always followed my big bro round like a lost sheep - and did some annoying things on the way, but it’s only because I REALLY wanted to hang out with him. she’s only 2 years younger than you, ask you mum how old she was when she started walking / feeding herself and talking, I bet it was younger than you were becuase, believe it or not, you have probably been the biggest influence over her for yeeears! and now, you’re not interested in your ‘little sister’ anymore, you’re finding your own identity away from the home, one that she can’t be part of. in fact, it’s one where the attention she is recieving is less all round - wth happened??

try and make some time for her, even if it’s just to watch a movie, do each oters hair or something…you really are one of the biggest influences in her life and at the moment she probably misses here big sister (siblings never understand the importance of their roles)

and as for her behaviour, you may find it annoying, but at the moment she has nothing to loose from behaving this was, you need some collatoral, give her some attention, so she knows that when she behaves nicely, she gets to have some big sis time. however, don’t blackmail her with this attention, like ‘right thats it, you did that so we’re not doing so and so this week’ she’ll loose all faith - just be like “??? I really don’t like this behaviour, and normally I don’t hang out wit a friends if they’re like that’… you not having a go at her, you’re setting some boundaries…

remember, you and her were playing with each other way before you met your friends, just because she’s a bit younger, it doesn’t make her completely ‘unsocialable’ (I’m not sure if that’s even a word!

and siblings are meant to be annoying lol! that’s what they do, but it’s their motives that need addressing, good luck! . I would always loved a sister, I have two bro’s - and have a really good open relationship with my little one. I guesse I saw how my big bro was with me, and I decided not to be like that with my little one. he’s like a really good mate, and has been since he was born realy. I’m like a surrogate mum…
