| Sisters, don't you love them

I've grown up with the "family first" motto. No matter what blood is thicker than water. So it's taken me some serious contemplating before I decided to go ahead and write this blog.
I have one sister, who is 4 years younger than me.
For all my life she has tried to be me! Well except for the bit where I got married and had kids.
She is not like me, she is different in everyway - except she believes family comes first.
Regardless of what she says to me and our parents - she thinks she can get away with it because Family comes first and anything goes. She forgets her respect your elders motto and also often is so pig headed she can't see what is in front of her face.
We have many heated conversations or Instant Message chats - and today was no different.
She's started a new job and was sent interstate for training. Most of her expenses were paid for except for extra things like snacks outside the course, and drinks such as water and orange juice.
She's quite the confrontational girl, and has challenged the new employer in regards to what they are covering.
So she roped me into discussion about it this morning. I tried to be objective and look at it from the employees point of view and give her my opinion (I did work in HR for 2 years - so I feel I have a good grasp of what's covered and what's not).
In the end she got all shirty and said in capitals "WELL WE ARE OBVIOUSLY GOING TO HAVE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE, so this conversation is OVER ... BYE".
Then she went off line
I get tired of these discussions and I just let her go. But I wonder if she's like this with her friends?
And if she is, is that why she doesn't seem to see many of them on a consistent basis?
I know she's not going to change, but sometimes I feel like she needs to be told, I've tried nicely but she's too frustrating to deal with.
I think I'll blog about her from now on. |

EasyToSay,
Some people just don't blend with others. Even if she's your sister. Most people act waaaayyy different 'round their friends than their relatives; heaven knows I do. I think it's because we feel like our siblings (or parents, in my case) are just in our business a lot, and we feel the need to push them out in any way possible, even if it's acting like a betch.
So for advice? Give her some space, and let her come to you. Chances are, she'll have been sorry for a while.
