Worried about sister?

I have already got a brother from my mum and step dad, but to say the least, we fight and i see him everyday. But now my Dad and my step mum are due a baby (a first together) but i only go to theirs every other weekend.

I really want to be a perfect sister especially if its a girl (sisterly bond and all), but I'm worried that somethings gonna go wrong and its gonna be like me and my brother, fighting all the time, and i know is going to be especially hard as I'm not there all the time to form that strong bond immediately. Basically what I'm asking is there any advise you could give me or any websites which give advise to sisters or anything like that?

Thank you :)

    babies only form a strong bond with their parents in the early days

    and do pick up on stress

    you sound like you are trying too hard

    a baby will sense this

    you are obviously so much older than she will be, you will be more a caregiver than have the text book sisterly bond

    but that doesnt mean it wont be special

    relax, dont force it,

    children do not react well to this sort of behavior, or intensity

    Don't try so hard. Take it easy, nice, and slow. Sisterly bonds will grow by itself if you take it easy.
