We tried so hard to make things better for our kids that we made them worse. For my grandchildren, I'd like better.
I'd really like for them to know about hand me down clothes and homemade ice cream and leftover meat loaf sandwiches. I really would.
I hope you learn humility by being humiliated, and that you learn honesty by being cheated.
I hope you learn to make your own bed and mow the lawn and wash the car.
And I really hope nobody gives you a brand new car when you are sixteen.
It will be good if at least one time you can see puppies born and your old dog put to sleep.
I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in.
I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother/sister. And it's all right if you have to draw a line down the middle of the room,but when he wants to crawl under the covers with you because he's scared, I hope you let him.
When you want to see a movie and your little brother/sister wants to tag along, I hope you'll let him/her.
I hope you have to walk uphill to school with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely.
On rainy days when you have to catch a ride, I hope you don't ask your driver to drop you two blocks away so you won't be seen riding with someone as uncool as your Mom.
If you want a slingshot, I hope your Dad teaches you how to make one instead of buying one.
I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books.
When you learn to use computers, I hope you also learn to add and subtract in your head.
I hope you get teased by your friends when you have your first crush on a boy\girl, and when you talk back to your mother that you learn what ivory soap tastes like.
May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on a stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole.
I don't care if you try a beer once, but I hope you don't like it. And if a friend offers you dope or a joint, I hope you realize he is not your friend.
I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your Grandma & Grandpa and go fishing with your Dad.
May you feel sorrow and pain at a funeral and extreme joy during the holidays.
I hope your mother punishes you when you throw a baseball through your neighbor's window and that she hugs you and kisses you at Christmas time when you give her a plaster mold of your hand.
These things I wish for you - tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. To me, it's the only way to appreciate life.
We secure our friends, not by accepting favors, but by doing them.

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?
The answer: Nothing
Because you see,,,
Nothing is greater than God
Nothing is more evil than the devil
The poor have nothing
The rich need nothing
And if you eat nothing, you will in fact be very hungry!

Well just take your sibling along with you where you go. Tell your folks you will spend some time with her but sometimes you need to do your own thing. Too much togetherness is a bad thing. You need your space to collect your thoughts and not feel smothered. Your little sister probably needs to hang with kids her own age. Tell your parents to allow her to play with her friends at her friends houses. Like a play date. This way you can do your own thing sometimes. Compromise with your folks and sibling about when you will play or do stuff. Tell your little sister to leave you alone for a certain amount of time and you'll play games or watch a movie with her and not to bug you until then. If you do not keep up with your end of the bargain neither will you sister. She will not believe you when you say I'll do whatever and play later. If you go beyond what you told her. Get her to play video games or something to occupie her for long periods of time.

Awww, She really looks up to you. You should be flattered. Why not talk to her and tell her she cant be doing this because you are older and need time alone and with your firends. Then set up something she'd like to do with you on a certain time(s) of the week for just the two of you if she can give you free time. Don't harp on her, it'll only make it worse. Let her k now how much you love her and think she's special. Later when you are older you'll be glad you did.

Try spending a little bit of time with her each day. You could do something small like reading a book or coloring or a game. Then let her know you want some big kid time alone. Then you can be a good big sister and have a relationship with her. She can have some of your time. You both could be happy.

come on this is your baby sister,you should take the time and do a little something with her everyday,you are one of the people in her life that's going to make her a good person when she gets your age and older.she looks up to you and you ought to now that you seen like a smart kid but you need to understand that all children do this and if you were her and she was you it would be the same you would be following her around.you should spare some of your so busy teenage time for her.my older brother use to hate when i would stay rite up his *** when i was younger i did the same thing to him as your sister is doing to you now we are all grown up and we have children of our own and i will tell you something we ended up being really close with each other and 4 yrs. ago Nov.my brother was killed in a car accident and now he's gone and i have no brother,i hope that you can look past such little things and be there for your kid sister like he was for me because one day one of you will no longer be here.all you have to do is take like 20-30 minutes each day and do something fun with her like play dolls,color,go outside,take her to the park for a bit,or you can just spend some time watching cartoons with her something little like that is going to mean the world to her. i hope that i have been of some help to you Hun good luck.....

just stop whinning and give your little sis some attention, she'll leave you alone after a while. You'll regret not giving your lil' sis some attention when shes older.
oh yeah, define "normal" teenage life for me will you? There are so many different people that there really isn't a "normal" teenage life.....

I know it seams like a pain down, but you'll understand later when you both are grown up. I used 2 do it to my sister too. We don't talk anymore....or anything. Just sit down with her and tell you that sometimes you need alone time. And if she asks questions answer them. Don't be like my sister.

the best thing to do is tell your parents to keep up with her cuz its not your responsibilty to watch her. of course when your home you should spend time with her but you have a life to live until you have your own child to attend to.
my friend makes deals with her sister. tells her if she leaves for how ever long she'll do something for her.

You will regret not spending time with her when she's grown up and can't do the things that you could do with a 6 year old.
