My sister is my hero. She is ten years older than me so our relationship sometimes was mother and daughter and sometimes sister to sister. Since she was babysitting me, I accompanied her everywhere. Even on dates! We also played cards a lot and other games. So we were interacting one on one.
But now watching her as a mother to six children, her relationship with her children is so different. For example, what discipline worked with me, doesn't work with her children. I didn't want my sister to be disappointed in me so I was a good girl. I wanted her to be proud of me since she brought me to my sports games, choir practice, and other activities. I always tried my best. But her own kids don't seem to care whether they disappoint their parents or not. And I haven't figured out why. Yes, the relationship is different, but Sis is still Sis.
