I really don;t understand what have I done with my sister. It seems that she really doesn't like me. I can't remember a single day that I have done something bad to her. I just keep on reaching out to her and good thing she sometimes treat me in good way. However, most of the time, it seems that she is pissed with my presence. ouch... lolz..
Anyway, despite that attitude of my sister, I admit that I really love her and did not put any hurt feelings for her.
How about you mylotters, how would you react if your siblings treat you that way???

Maybe she's just jealous because your parents love you more than her.
Well, my youngest sister has been my arch enemy when we were growing up from amongst my siblings . We would fight physically and verbally. But would you believe , that now that we are older, we are the closest? Though sometimes we would bicker, but we are the closest now.

:( hello SugarMarie.. your situation is a bit sad.. imagine a home where some of its members dont get along well for unknown reasons... Its probably best to talk to your sister privately...I have had the same situation before, my sister was becoming rebellious, but i found out later that she just needs attention... :) Younger sisters could be tricky to deal with... Just try talking to her, she might have problems she just cant share or are afraid to tell anyone... :)

She doesn't lack attention because she is given much attention with my parents because she is younger than me. I also gives time for her. If I have money, I also buy her something. I am trying to understand is she really actign like that now. ^^ Thank you

relationship with sisters are not that perfect.infact no one has. we blew some stuffs with them and sometimes don't talk with each other for a long time.but since you all belong to one bloodline all of you are obliged to fix things up. I have an younger sister, who I have always had problems with, off and on, growing up. When we became adults, she moved nearby, and I started coming over to her apartment, and calling her, and helping her with her emotional problems, and anything else she asked of me. I never asked for anything in return, as I have found out that asking her for anything makes her angry with me, and I don't usually help others with the thought of getting something in return. For the most part, she tormented me throughout the years yet i have gained patience and now we love each other that much.

On the opposite, my younger brother did not like me much. I remember when we were young kids, as a big sister, I will bully him every single day and make a day like hell for him. But as I am older now, I regret doing so and I miss loving my brother so much now that he moved out. The reason behind is he can't get along with me. I am so sorry and I sent him SMS to said so but he never replied. I don't want to lose my brother as he is kind and good.

We were in the same boat before but we have outgrown this... I am a boy and as being younger among the two I hated it but now my sister has stopped being strict and had made amends to me..
Keep on doing it until one time he will realize that you are sincere with what you are saying or better yet go and visit him.. that will make a difference for him...

Hi SugarMarie! I wonder how old your sister is. I had this experience when we are teenagers. I guess they just wanted to explore the world, meet some friends and do anything on their own. It is not that she doesn't love you but she is just asking for space. Time will come that she will open up to you. I guess for now you should let her feel that no matter what you will always be there for her.

The relationship between you and your sister sounds very similar to mine. My sister's never liked me either. Oh sure, we had our moments where we got along when we were little...however, they were pretty rare and only seemed to happen when my sister wanted them to. That is, before she hit puberty. After that it all went downhill from there. By the time I reached high school she wanted nothing more to do with me, so I basically stayed out of her way.
She moved out of our mom's place when she was 17 (I was 15 at the time). I didn't see her again for 11 years. When I did, I said hello to her and she just snubbed me, like nothing has changed.
10 years later it's still the same way...
Regardless of how she may feel about me, I will always love her. She is my sister, after all...
Happy mylotting!

I have one sister that I talk to on a regular basis and we get along well, although when we were growing up we were not that close (she is 7 years younger than me). My other sister was only 2 years younger than me and we got along great growing up, but I haven't heard from her since my youngest sister got married in 2001! She avoided most of the family for years before that since she was schizophrenic as is her husband. Apparently they moved at some point and when my sister tried to find them a couple of years ago, she couldn't. I'm to a point where I don't even think about her any more since she has basically disowned the family.

Hi. SugarMarie. Welcome to myLot! Yes, I do. Me and my sister get along pretty well. The only thing that I dislike about my sister is the fact that she will call me and ask me if I want some company. She wants to come to my house just to and sit and talk. I don't mind doing this with her, it is just that she only calls when she wants to hang out. I always ask her to do me a favor, but she acts like she does not want to do it. She is my baby sister and I love her, but she acts like she just wants me to do what she wants all of the time. And she won't do what I would like. This makes me feel kind of bad.

Honestly, I wish I could say that my sister and I have a good relationship, but if I did, I would be lying. I have tried to stay in touch over the last year, considering that we don't live near each other. I sent her e-mails and such, but never got a response. I try to be nice when we see each other, and we do seem to get along, but it just doesn't feel like I'm important. Unfortunately, that's what it feels like, and seems to me. I can somewhat understand how you feel.

yes, i only have one. she brought me to the city at the age of 13. my parents decided to send me there for school and live with my sister. i guess i spend much time with my sister growing up than at home. i confide to her about stuff, we even look like each other. some people would say we're twins.. but am taller than her though.
i left her house during my early years in college. started livin on my own but i still depend on her during the first few months. well i still do but rarely now that im already working.

I don't have that kind of relationship with my sisters. I am fortunate enough to have sisters who are very understanding and kind. We were raised well by my parents I should say. We don't envy each other and we know how to give way for one to succeed and help the other grow. If I were in your case, I will just ignore that kind of sister. All I know and care of is i'm good to her and i don't have any problems with her. She may then love me back if i don't fight back..lol!

I have a good relationship with both of my sisters.One lives in town,don't see her too much.The other lives here in town,she is my best friend.We can call and talk for hours.Or we can have that comfortable silence,while we do other things.We both knit/crochet,so we may be working on a project and talk for a while or not talk.Don't know what I would do without her.
Your situation sounds like my youngest daughter.She acts like shes mad at us or something all the time.And no one has said or done anything to her.We just take it as it comes.We really dont know what to say to her sometimes.not sure if it will make her mad or what.Good luck with your sister.Hope things get better for you.

Hi, my sister is nice to me.We love each other very much. I always tell her anything about me.She is a good listener and usually gives me some advice when i get into thouble .I am very grateful.Of course,i argue with her sometimes, but we get the harmony soon for my apologizing,because that be resulted of my fault.Another reason is that we are family member,so we should get on well with each other.

The relationship with my sisters were changed after their marriages.
This was mainly due to the conflict of interest in getting the assets which left by my late father without any wills.
In according to the laws in Malaysia, sons and daughters are having the equal right to get the assets from their late parents.
But in Chinese culture, mostly the sons are considered to get the late parents assets.
However, the relationship among the sisters and brothers was bad just because of money matters.
I really admire those who have good relationship among their sisters and brothers.

did you try talking to her about it? maybe it will solve your problem. i have 3 sisters and our relationship is good. we never fight ever since we we're young, just small pity quarrels. our parents taught us to love each other no matter what happens. maybe that's why we understand each other and never fight.

I cannot relate with your experience because I am closer to my sister. She is my confidante. She knows all my secrets.

My sister and I are buddies..But sometimes it also happens like that. maybe it is part of being siblings . Even we did nothing wrong to her she still annoyed or pissed off.
