How many of you are big sisters? How do you feel about your little sisters? Do you get into fights with them almost every day? Do you think your sisters are a plain pain in the behind, or are the cutest angels in the world? In this article, I will tell you about sister relationships, and I hope that it will help any of you that need help with your sisters.

Everyone knows that sisters have problems and this anecdote proves it.

 Two sisters came home from school and the older one had to make food. She decided to make soup for her little sister and herself.

“But, I don’t want soup,” said the little sister in a teasing tone, “And if I don’t eat, you are going to get into trouble.”

“No, Mom said you have to eat soup, so eat it.”

“But, the soup is too hot.”

The big sister, quite annoyed, cooled the soup.

“Now, the soup is too cold!”

“Good. Now you can eat it.”

“The soup has carrots! I don’t like carrots.”

“Fine, give them to me,” answered the big sister trying to control her temper.

“There is onion too. I don’t like onion.”

The big sister took the onion, too.

“The soup has long spaghetti, but I like short ones,” the little sister said smiling.  

“Short spaghetti? Short!”

The big sister took the bowl of soup and poured it on her little sister’s head.

“Here you go, short spaghetti!” answered the big sister furious.

“But, don’t pour out the juice; I will drink the juice!” the little sister replied looking up sadly.

A lot of siblings have problems with each other. This has been confirmed that siblings relate differently depending on their ages. Younger children most likely will act with violence. Children that are 6 through 8 years old tend to be bossy and demanding to their siblings. At ages 9 through 12 are typically very competitive and don’t have a lot of patience or respect for their younger siblings. During the teenage years the fighting and bickering tends to decrease and usually be over only minor issues that can be worked about without parents’ consult.

The age difference between siblings is also a factor to be considered when understanding your relationships. Children that are close in age tend to get physical with each other. But children that are further apart in age are less likely to fight. Though, the older sibling can be bossy, overpower the younger sibling, and act as if they are the commander!

“Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life,” said Charles M. Schulz. And it is true; your big sister will sometimes drive you to the point of insanity that makes you want to scream.

This is a situation I am very familiar with because this is usually the predicament my sister and I are in. It is also predicted that children closer in age are very close when they are adults; but children further in age aren’t that close as adults.

Sisters are very influential figures in each other’s lives. If you are a big sister, you have to try to act in a good way. You have to have patience and have respect for your little sister. I know this from my experiences, if I annoy my sister, she will take the next opportunity to do the same exact thing to me. So, simple act to your sister how you would want her to act to you.

“Having a sister is like having a best friend you can’t get rid of. You know whatever you do, they’ll still be there,” said Amy Li.

So, if you have problems with your sister, make fixing your relationship a priority. Your sister is a very important person in your life and you want to be able to talk to her no matter what. So, try communicating with her, congratulate her on her accomplishments, and just treat her nice and with respect. Sisters should be best friends, not worst enemies! So, before pointing out your sister’s behavior, look at yours and change your behavior, you will definitely see a difference in your sister’s behavior.

“A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life.” ~Isadora James.
