This episode was so relatable! My older sister and I used to fight allll the time, until we didn’t live together anymore and now we FaceTime almost every day hahah. Vs my little sister and I, I feel like I have to protect her or shield her from things. But at the same time, you’re right about being mean to them than how you would be with friends lol
Good conversation. Having siblings, brings out different individual growth depending on whether the siblings are same or opposite sex. It depends on individual development, order, parent's role in life, economics, which compared to individuals growing up as a single child. You never know what you don't experience in personality development by having others or not.
My sister and I are 5 years apart. We were close all our lives and it came to a stop during the pandemic 2020 until now mid 2024. Our relationship is still on the mend but it’s helpful to hear that closeness can really vary from age to age.
i feel like the difference between sisters and friends is the fact that you have that family tie where even if you have rough periods at the end of the day they're still family and will be there for you because of that. with friendships there isn't family bond to tie you together so it doesn't feel as ok to show certain sides of yourselves. personally i feel like it's ok if there's that distinction between friends and sisters because it doesn't mean that friends are any less important and i also think it's important to have certain boundaries as well
Wooow, me and my sister are a lot like Janet's and Helen's sister-ships with the age difference and experiences (btw I'm older :p), so this was really good to hear
