A Job I was not Hired to do...

[prittybrittyxo]

So I guess I'm realizing that being an older sister is way harder than it sounds or looks. I was not hired for this job. I did not once see a job description, and I feel like I don't even have a salary. I'm not even respected or appreciated for all the work that goes into being this older sister

i guess she needs to make her own mistakes. she is hurt, no doubt, but will it really damage her in the long run? maybe shes just growing up faser than we did at her age, most girls are these days. seeing as my older sister is far worse behavior wise than me, i know that you dont need to be a perfect example. you dont need to have all the answers and you dont need to be the one to tell her what is right. chances are shes already learned that between watching you grow up (and believe me, shes watched every cool thing youve done with jealousy and every bad thing youve done with sympathy and a lesson learned) and between her parents. they raised you just finie so they must be doing something right. just be there. be her friend. she has the parents, even if they're totally blind to the things she chooses to do. she needs a big sister, she needs a good friend. you can give her your opinion, but if my older sister tells me something i should do or should not do, i just feel that much more rebellious. its a hard balance but the point is, speaking as a younger sister, shes watching you and even if you mess up, she knows you know that you messed up and doesnt hold it against you. she knows you're an amazing role model and she'll try to be just like you. share your worst boy stories with her, share your lessons. hopefully they'll sink in better than her hearinig "dont do that because its bad"

i dont know lol, end rant. but yea, its tough. sometimes i feel like nic's older sister. younger brother..hopeless, he tells me shit at this age lol
