| Seniors, im 56 & my loved sister is 8 years older & she always seems to THINK she knows the right answers? | | Published by: jane 2009-01-09 |
i could have post this in familys, but i thought since im 56 & my sister is 8 years older that im asking, id post it in seniors, if i ask her about ANYTHING, she heard about it FIRST, if im wrong, She makes sure she tells me, why does she do that?
because she is your older sister my older brother does the same thing i think they don't want to lose that edge they had when we were 12 and they were 20
Try getting creative and talk to her about something you know she has no knowledge of. Even if you have to study something to do it. If this is her habit, you will not be able to change her. The only people we can truly control is ourselves.
She's older........LOL.....just nod and do what you want.
Who knows, have a sister -in-law the same way. annoying isn't it ?
As the older sister of a younger brother let me tell you: she's getting back for all the times you teased her!
I'm 57 and have a younger sister, and I'm sure I do it to her also.
Just take it with a grain of salt, she means well and as do I.
I love my sister she's 53 and wouldnt hurt or make her angry for anything.
Seniors start at age 55, so you can get your discount now....LOL>
She does it because she is your sister, older, and smarter, she thinks. That is so typical of sisters. Just laugh about it if you can. It is rather irritating. Believe it or not, my daughter does that to me.
I'm the same age as your sister & I'm always right, too. Must be the wisdom of age. (Just kidding!!!) You love her, so I guess you'll just have to put up with her. Try to concentrate on her good points & go on.
Sounds like you know how to push each other's buttons.
You are either going to have to quit pushing those buttons, ignore your sister when she hits your hot buttons, or flat out tell her that you are going to have to agree to disagree on some issue.

I'm 53 & my sister-in-law is younger & corrects me constantly. She also tries to tell me how to live, even though she's in a loveless marriage & never spends any time with her kids. She asked me why I don't like her. I tried to ignore the question, but she kept on badgering me until I told her. She took it apart line by line defending herself! I won't contact her anymore unless it's something important about her brother.
This got me started. I'll give you a quick example. Her brother doesn't smoke, but used to cough like a heavy smoker. She said that was because we go to bars. I finally convinced him to see a doctor & it turned out that he had a hole in his throat, so that when he ate, some of the food would go into his lungs. After it was fixed, I told her about it & she said, "I never said that!" Thanks for letting me vent. She'll never change & I doubt that your sister will either.
Hello, honestly, I'm a lot younger, but I have come to the realization that a lot of older people do that. They know everything and if you tell them something, and they find out it's not right. They make sure you know that you were wrong. I started thinking that it just comes with age. She doesn't mean any harm. You'll get there one day... LOL
UM.......so you know?
I have a friend like that, she always has a bigger and better story. I just listen to her and figure she just needs to be like that. It does annoy me most of the time but I only see her every couple monthes now so I put up with it.
Unfortunately, she has an 8-year start on you. You could lock her in a closet for 8 years so that you can catch up.
Because it is her personality and now at her age it is also her practiced habit. Do not expect any change in this regard... leopards do not change their spots. I know that isn't the answer you were hoping for... but alas... it is the way it is. Best wishes and good luck.
Reed - I'm wondering if this isn't a case of sibling rivalry?
If it is, you will spend the rest of your life Cow Towing to her.
In all reality, since she is older, she really should be setting a good example for you.
Just grin and bare it. You could kill her with kindness and leave her in a tither of confusion.
"You can pick your friends - But you are stuck with your relitives"
May be you need to set some ground rules. Like, not discussing politics or religion. But when it comes to other discussions, try to - just - be a good listener.
You know who you are and you don't have to prove your self to her.
