I have a younger sister five years age diff. We dont get along very well at all me and my sister have been through alot in our lifes. We use to live together when we were little with our mum and dad. Our mum and dad broke up soon after my sister was born and we were seperated. I lived with dad she lived with mum so we never really saw eachother. Then not so long ago my sister came to live with me and my dad. And we just dont get along everytime we speak to one another its yelling we dont have a strong relationship at all i just want to be to be a loving caring big sister to her but how can I do that when we cant even have a conversation? I just wanted to know is this normal for families like ours? are any of you in the same situation?

Yes, it is really so natural not to get along with your sisters or brothers. I experienced it many times especially during our younger years. Relationship is always like that - you like each other this moment and you will hate each other the other moment. But what important most is, your love and respect for each other will remain.

That was so sweet. Do you come off as knwoing everything? DO you talk down to her? Do you make her feel lesser than yourself? If the answer to all those is no, then she's the problem not you. If my math is corrected than she's 11. I also have a 11 year old sister and I'm 20. We get along fortunatley. SO I wish I could relate. Me and my brother have our ups and downs but we are always friends in the ends even after some blows lol
Try being even nicer to her than you already are. If that doesn't work and you begin yelling, let it all out and tell her how you truly feel. tell her you love her and that you wish you were closer. Tell her you want to be her friend but you feel like her enemy. Most importantly tell her you love her. If all that doesn't work than start going to church because your sister is the devil lol

oh i can understand that. you really didnt aged together so there is an invisible wall between you.
i have two sisters one older than me and one younger than me. my sister who is older than me, we cant get along. she think she is to inteligent and she thinks that i am stupid. its hard to have a conversation with her becasue it always ended up with a fight or misunderstanding.

The problem with you and your sis is just because you did not grow up together. Its quite difficult for two person to get along in short while. Be patient with her because the two of you grow up differently. Walk away when she started to yell or write her note if you can't talk to each other. Maybe she just need time to get used to staying with you.

I think that you should play with her. take care what she likes. tell her the stories that she likes.
