"You can choose your friends but you can't choose your relatives".

Ain't that the truth

... don't get me started on my sister, either

- one moment, we get along just fine, the next, we'd rather have a go at eachother with knives and other various kitchen utensils

... here's to friends! ** lifts his horse-sized pint with tremendous effort and SLURRs some E.S.S. in a toast to friendship **

*Finishes his J.D*

Thank heavens, and I thought I was the only one with the insane relations

Me and my sis now have a very good relationship.
But during our teen years.
Good god.
A day without a fight was a miracle.
Now we are most of the time together, when she is over.
Like these days.
But she just doesnt seem to understand.
I am the older brother.
What i say goes.
Damn the american education system and society.
She is studying in the US and thinks she can do it all on her own.
Relatives dont get me started.
There are only 2 cousins i really like.
The rest are time passing relatives.

Why don't they ever understand that concept.

When I'm in charge, the house ceases to be a democratic institute.

What a relief, i thought I was the only older brother who got a total lack of respect/obedience.

My sis is still a teen, going on however old you have to be before you know everything.

Thank goodness I live in a railway carriage, and she lives in the house.

Yes they never understand that.
They actually think they can do what they want.
Like i told my sis i will walk you to the bus,
She was like i can do it myself.
They just dont understand as an elder brother
It is my job to be over protective
Patronizing
and at points just unbelievably stubborn

But she is better now, getting used to the idea
After we talked about it.
You have one sis or 2?
I have one and am very happy

Eerhardt · #**774** (**permalink**) 07-03-2002, 03:22 AM

@Tam: well, now you know you aren't the only one

@Fas: sounds pretty much like the relationship I have in respect to my sister

He's got two younger brothers. I only have one sister, thank heavens.
I don't bother with the over-protective bit, though.
Must dash for a while.

Two brothers, although I have a feeling that sooner or later one will get bigger then me.

Making most of my opportunities.

EDIT- Bye Ode

See ya ode.
The overprotective brother part is a cultural thing.
My sis complains bout anybody they toast.

You too eery?
Man what you do to keep her under control?
I need help.
She is adjusting now, but man the first couple of days were tough.

Tam you got is easy.
You got 2 bros, so if they dont listen to you you punch them or tackle or something.
With a sister you can do that.
You have to use double fast talk and hope she doesnt figure things out.

Eerhardt · #**778** (**permalink**) 07-03-2002, 03:34 AM

@Ode: C U, mate
@Fas: the problem is, she's only 2 years younger than me. And believe me, I've tried to explain to her that that makes a world of difference and that I am the voice of experience and reason and that if she doesn't listen, things will go very wrong but I might as well be talking to the air. It's her friends, I tell you

Ahh, I see the problem now. You have to use the non-violent methods. Hmmm thats a tricky one

My sis is also 2 years younger than me.
But i have my moms back that she should listen to me!

Now that is a good thing.
But friends...maybe...its the whole i am a woman so i can do it just as good as any man thing.
But age does make a difference not gender.
She realises that now.... I hope.
