Mommy Dearest

There are all different kinds of siblings. Siblings who are best friends, siblings who are friends because they can't help the fact they are related, and siblings who are at eachothers throats till death. Well what is the dynamic when your only same sex sibling is 6 years younger than you? You become close friends but have maturity levels comparable to Clooney & whatever current todler he is stuffing at the time. So when you see your baby sister [in my case] acting out/ doing things that make you want to shake her, do you get after her? I have this issue with my sister Danni all the time. She is one of my closest friends, we confide in eachother in real times of need, but when it comes to a point of her skrewing up and being a complete dumbass, she completely shuts me out and tells me to stop with the "mommying". I'm just trying to help! I have your best interest at heart I promise! [wow maybe I do sounds like our mom] But really. Its next to impossible to sit back and allow her to harm or make a fool of herself. Everytime I try to help or correct her though, she pushes further away. Thinks I'm judging her. Well don't forget little one, I experianced all of this probably even wilder before you and I might have some helpful advice! Maybe I'm getting some practice in for when I have kids. [or I should say IF considering my lady parts could use a good Swiffer 360 duster right about now due to a year of NOTHING] Anyway. Give me your thoughts/ tips on how to handel younger sibs. Love em, hate em, would die if you lost them.
