Sisterhood

Mrsbean, i understand your situation. I had a few sisters whom are very close to me when they are still young. Now, since they have their own careers and friends, had started to talk and chat less with me. We should give them more space and time to develop and fit into their new environment. By the way, no matter how busy we are with our life, our sisterly relationship seems still stable until now. I think you shouldn't be worry too much about this matter. If you think it affects you a lot, then have a friendly talk and let her know your feeling.

My family is very close knit. With the exception of my twin sister we all live right in the small community we have always lived in. My older sister is a lot older then me and she lives across the street we are very close. However marriage does take a lot from someone at times they are enjoying time with their new family and don't want to be bothered. I have never experienced this with my older siblings or my younger brother though we all have huge age gaps we always seem to find the time if the other wants to talk for any reason. I am also close to my two older SIL's the girl married to my "baby" brother I can't stand. =( I guess that is the way it is sometimes. Talk to your sister if you feel comfortable doing so she may not even know she is not in your life as much, or she may be busy with her husband but regardless you might feel better once you talk to her.

It is great that you are close to your sister. I am close to my brother and sister even though I live more than 10 hours away. I know that when I was living closer to my family my brother and I went out quite a bit, but now that I live in Idaho and my family lives in Nevada it is harder to get together, but we do call each other often. I would talk to your sister and tell you how you feel.

i have not really experienced this because my sister and i are both single, but since we moved out from our home to find a job, we had our separate ways. but even though we do not live in the same roof, we still hang out and when i go to her place, we always do things that we did when we were young, so i think if ever we get married, it will not make such difference.

I felt the same way with my sister and I. Were only 2 years apart and very close but when we both got married and had kids we drifted apart a little bit. I think we both felt it so I decided to talk to her about it. It took work on both of our parts but now our kids play together all the time and we live a few blocks away because we wanted to be close by! =) Talking in a nice manner usually does the trick. Good Luck & I Hope It Works For You Too
