How to deal with your younger siblings

I am writing this from personal experience and let me tell you that it is NOT easy living with a younger sister. My friends always say “Oh, your sister is so sweet!” or “Why do you describe her as such horrible person? “ But what my friends don’t know is how she acts at home. You see, since we were both little girls she has always been trying to imitate me in everything I do. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo IRRITATING! Years have passed and she still does the same thing! Well, I am not here to discuss how my sister imitates me, but I will give you my secrets to how to deal with her.


Monday morning, 7:00,


Me: Gaby, are you going to shower first?


Gaby: No, I am going to have breakfast. You go first.


Me: Fine, I will go take a shower first.

Gaby: No, I want to take a shower first.


Me: WHAT DO YOU WANT?


Gaby: What do YOU want?


Me: Stop copying me you annoying little FREAK!


Gaby: You called me a freak (an evil grin on her face) I am going to tell!


Me: Fine, go tell mom, like she even cares


Gaby: I hate you


Me: I Love you too (Sarcasm)


This an example of one of our everyday fights. It might seem lame to you but it happen ALMOST all the time. One way to avoid problems like this is by not seeming irritated. Take a deep breath and count to ten. Your sibling’s target is to annoy you. You have to be STRONG and patient. Another way you can avoid a fight is by going along with your sibling instead of contradicting him or her. Your sibling will then feel tired and they will leave you alone.
