Does this make me a bad sister?

i love my sister and she just had her second baby. we talk but not as much as we use to because shes got a newborn and a five year old to take care of and her boyfriend is lazy, he won't help her much. we are kind of slipping away but its only because i don't want to stress her out when she has a new baby to care for

    The fact that you are even worried about this and your reason for doing it definately doesen't make you a bad sister, you care about your sister. However, you shouldn't be worried about stressing her out if anything you can go over there and keep her company since her boyfriend is lazy anyway and/or help out with the baby. Just let her know how much she means to you, I'm sure she feels the same.

    Not at all. I have 2 sisters that live in close proximity of me and i feel that sometimes we need breaks from one another to save our relationships. Try taking the 5 year old sometimes to the park or just a day with you to give her time with the new baby. She will appreciate that more than you know. She will see that you are trying to help and that will build yalls relationship back up. Just also be very honest and open with her always. She is your sister and although you may disagree sometimes she will always love you.

    How old is your sister? Siblings fight a lot and I'm sure you have hit her before but what makes her a good or bad sister is if she is there for you when you really need then she is a good sister

    no it doesn't make you a bad sister at all. You can see you love her and have made respect for her and her kids you're just trying to help keep things calm in her life.

    Just make sure you all don't fall apart talk to her and see if you guys can set some sister time together so you don't drift but you will always be family and sisters so just keep the love out there for her.

    No that does not make you a bad sister. If you feel like your sister is slipping away from you try calling or emailing her sometime just to check in and let her know that you are still there for her.

    Just let her know that you're always there when she wants to talk and do stuff. And tell her that you don't want to stress her out so she understands if you don't call her as much or whatever. But still call her sometimes. She's your sister, you aren't going to lose each other. Good luck.

    No your not a bad sister. But you can interact with her by helping her out with the kids or in the house or food shopping. Im sure she would be appreciate and you would be spending time together.

    absolutely not. you are doing what you think is best for her. However, i don't think that e-mailing her or talking on the phone once in a while will stress her out at all. I'm sure that hearing from you might even make her day better!

    No. Help out, but don't be abnoxious. Think about what you say (and who is around you) before you say it. Give her boyfriend looks if he's just sitting there and there's stuff to be done. Most Importantly: Listen to your sister; don't defy her. She is already stressed as it is, she doesn't want any trash.
