Ways To Be Closer To Your Siblings

I can practically say when I was growing up my sister was the biggest threat I had, we fight daily and always have reasons to step on each other’s toes, you know this children tantrum you give when your sister collect your teddy bear and you have to raise alarm and before you know it both of you start fighting and then in a twinkle of an eye your parent are their to start separating you from hitting each other, that was more of my sister and I, we often had reason to pick at each other, and we were practically like that till we start having reason to leave the house for studies, as some point we were always fighting over food, me wanting to get same share as hers and her wanting to get the bigger share.

When we start leaving house, then I discover that our issues kept getting much, that we hardly see eye to eye, we sometimes argue about trends and who have the biggest fashion sense between the both of us, I can actually say any moment we come across each other we are always fighting ourselves and sooner I began to realize that we have never share any good moment as siblings because of our frequent fight and tantrums.

I was envious of my friends who had a good and smooth time with their siblings, they share secret and great ideas that you will sometimes think they are friends and not siblings, so I can up with ideas which can help me get closer to my sibling, here are few ideas I apply in which was very helpful for me:

Childhood is like a Vegas: Let what happen there stay there: Forget about the things that transpire between you two during childhood, try as much as possible to keep the bad experience you had with them during childhood their and move on to a brighter today.

Mind your manners: When you are with your siblings, try as much as possible to mind your manner, the hurtful words you say, mind them and don’t give reasons for them to start picking up on you.

Quite being jealous of other people’s sibling’s relationship: Never compare your relationship with your siblings with your friend own, know that every family have their own to deal with and never look down on the love between you and your siblings. Remember you might not be on a good term but the love you both share is ever green, focus on that love and work on building closer bond.

Make a cameo appearance: Try as much to show up at event where your sister will be attending unexpectedly, you are sure to show up at every event she is holding, from obligatory, weddings, graduations and thanksgiving dinner, be there for your sister as much as possible and trust me she will be happy. You can also be very relevant on her birthday, endure to send a happy birthday sister wishes on her birthday and you can also use that moment to express your love for them
