Sisterly love?
I am getting ready to go on a trip to see my little sister graduate from high school...I have 3 sisters and im the 2nd oldest, ever scince we were little my older sister and i have always been really competitve with eachother. she was always the popular pretty girl in school and I was kinda nerdy, now that we are older she seems to think that my mom favors me over her and she complains about it all the time. She even said that i took away her "right" to have the first born grandchild when i got pregnant! how can i deal with her without loseing my mind? i am going to have to stay at my moms house with her.

the best way to gete along with her is probably to find a mutual interest and talk to her about it. if all else fails, avoid her. I have to go home to see my family ever so often and my sister's still in high school. we occasionally fight, but I just try to avoid her when we aren't getting along. when we're both in a good mood, I'll talk to her about our mutual interests.

If you are not a mother yet, I am assuming you will be one soon. You are a 'grown-up'. You will be the person responsible for the education of your baby about how to live life to the best and fullest degree possible. You will not want to teach your child (by example) jealousy, sibling rivalry, hate, etc. You will want your child to have a loving family as a support system he/she will be able to depend on throughout life.
You can use this time at your mom's to start your child's network. Ask your sister's opinion about baby clothes, healthy diet, favourite family stories, ANYTHING, to establish a good relationship right now.
Having an extended family/a strong family network, is about the best thing you can do for your baby.
So, don't focus on your childhood any more.Make today the first day of your grown-up sister's new life.

Just remember that she IS your sister... and talk to her about this. Tell her that it's time to grow up and be friends. You're not children anymore and there is no need to keep fighting for your parents attention. You both need to 'suck it up' and face the fact that the way life is, is how it's going to be. Love each other, siblings have the closest blood bond - considering you both have the same set of parents - and you should never forget that. No one in your lives will ever be as close to you as your siblings.

just don't pay attention to her, she's obviously not mature enough to be on your level. She's jealous that your doing better now, and its not highschool when she was the one getting all the attention. Don't feel bad because your doing good in life..u have that right, don't let anyone shatter that..even if its ur sister.
When your at ur parents and if she says something to u, just walk away, don't make a scene. or just laugh..she'll eventually come around. ignoring her ignorance is the best thing u can do.
Good luck!-xoxo

What I would do is talk to her, communication is always best. Let her know that you love her and that you didn't mean to make her upset, but if you did that you are sorry. Make her realize that sisters should have the biggest bond ever, you guys should be laughing about guys and sharing clothes and make-up and stuff not fighting! Remember all we have in this world is our family, they will be their for us when no one else will.

Just take pleasure in seeing her upset about things you have no control over... :) No reason for you to get upset.... You are not intentially hurting her....
