Hi, I am Skylar 12 years old. And sometime at the end of February I am going to be a big sis and have a lil 5 year old sister Lily (actually cousin). So here's the story- My aunt and cousin are coming from a different state and they are flying here. They are going to live with us for ATLEAST a few months up to a year or who knows maybe a lil longer. I have to share rooms with Lily. Her half painted Purple my half painted Green. Since she is going to be here for a while I am going to be like a big sis to her and she is going to be like a lil sis. Ok so here is the problem!!! I am the youngest at my house, my brother is 17. So being the youngest I have no idea what it is like being the older one. And Lily at her house is lil sis of her steph sis who is like 9 (her steph sis is staying with her dad) . So Lily is use to being treated like a little sister. So I need some big sister advice cause she is going to be staying here for ATLEAST a few months up to a year or maybe longer cause they are moving where we live like a house near but until then her and her aunt live with us. Please give me any advice and tips. Im 12 she is five, and im not sure how easily it is going to be adapting to being a big sis the one she looks up to. And ugh sharing my computer is going to be a pain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have no choice my mom said I have to share it she doesn't understand that Lily is 5!!!! and could screw it up!!!! Oh and what about my social everyday life privacy like chatting on the phone with friends and crushes!? It isn't fair!!! I deserve my social/everyday life privacy but... ugh.If your a Big Sister then answer! Please, I need Big Sister Advice %26amp; Tips?
um actually... i'm a big sis...14 yrs old. I have 1 sis 11 yrs old and 1 brother who's 7 yrs old. To tell you the truth it's gonna be hard because you need a lot of patience because like you said you need to share your things with her and because your used that your the youngest your going to face certain changes like while your talking with your friends over the phone you need to hang up because she's crying or from my own experience my sis and bro are fighting.... oh well! but you need to keep in your mind that your going to be like your brother, you need to have lots and lots of patience because not all the time you need to scold her when she did something bad, sometimes you just need to talk to her, ok?
You can have your own privacy but you just need to find a good time to talk with your friends over the phone. being a big sis needs a little sacrifice but believe me it's fun even if it's going to be hard but you'll get used to it.
Good luck!!If your a Big Sister then answer! Please, I need Big Sister Advice %26amp; Tips?
Well when she gets there treat her fairly cause she has friends she wants to talk to because she is away from them.She will think that u care about yourself only.From my experience as a middle child i experience the challenges both of younger and older siblings i think you should take her out on the weekends to like build-a-bear or the movies.I think she would give anything to go to a movie or something with her older cousin.

i was the youngest in my family until a year ago when my dads gf's family moved in and i got two step sibs, one boy 10, girl 8. i basically try and play with them a lot so then they think im cool and stuff. and just be urself, try not to talk to her in a little kid voice. when u get tired of playing her games dont be afraid to say no, shell live if u dont play a couple games with her. if shes only 5 i dont think itll be too big of a problem in talking on the phone and stuff. but ya just try and be a good role model to her and just show her a lot of encouragement.
Well I have one older stepbro and one older stepsis who are only a few months older than me. I then have one younger bro one younger stepbro and one younger stepsis. I share my room with my 8 yr ols stepsis. It's not easy but help her when she needs help, support her through everything, and be nice. When you want privacy either ask her to leave the room for a little while or go into your parent's bedroom. It's not easy since I'm only 13. I can totally relate! Just be calm, don't yell (yeah, it's tempting its ok if you do just appoligize) and try to be great. My stepsis and I fight all the time and shes like i wish i had another sister NOT YOU. Let her get over it when she's angry. Try to be her friend.
HOPE THIS HELPS!

Well I am a big sis (by 1 year) And a Little sis by 4 years....I think! But not by blood. My friend my little sis and my cousin is my big sis. Then I have another big sis who is like 15-16 or something. again not by blood! LOL but just have fun with her. Play games. Treat her like a big girl and a little girl at the same time! : ) Just have fun. Don't try to hard. They sense fear! LOL they can smell it! But play alot she wants to play and then show her things you like. Bake. She'll LOVE it! hope I helped
Well iam a big sister my brother being 10 years younger and sister 12 years younger. i didn't live with them for very long but what i remember as long as you do something with her like color, play out side. she should be ok. But hopefully your mom knows you need time to yourself like go to a friends house. but usually if you do do stuff with her alot when you need time to yourself they all should understand.
