Mommy's little girl?

Question

I'm twelve, and my older sister is fifteen. She always calls me a mamma's girl.

First there's my older sister. Shes done everything. Drugs, alcohol, had to talk to the police, shes ran away before, and she swears as if there's no off button.

Then there's me. I clean when i'm bored, i do what my parents ask, i study, and i can manage to not burn the house down while cooking.

But i'm not all that perfect either. I swear, i've drank before, i've thought of running away before.

It annoys me that she always calls me perfect.

Shes 15 and cries when she doesn't get her way. Its stupid, and immature.

How can i get her to stop calling me perfect?

Answer 1

tell her to eff off

Answer 2

It just sounds like she is jelous that she can't be like you. Don't worry about what she says because chances are you will get more than she will because your parents probably appreciate your behavior. You know what is right and wrong and you seem to be having fun and making a few mistakes along the way that's what being a teenager is. In the same sense you are still helpful and respectful to your parents. The way I see it, you are just more mature than you older sister so tell her to grow up next time she tells you, you are a mamma's girl!

Answer 3

1] you can't cvhange her behavior, but you can change your response to it.

2] decide her names don't bother you. Then DON'T let them! It will get easier every time you do it.

3] Smile, laugh, change the subject, or start doing something else. Leave the room if necessary.

4] don't stoop to her level, and argue. You will be doing exactly what she wants.

5] sounds like she is really jealous of you, and wants to prove you AREN'T perfect!

Answer 4

Tell her she's just jealous. I mean, who's going to get the better job when they're older...?  

Answer 5

I THINK YOU SHOULD JUST IGNORE HER. SHE IS JEALOUS OF YOU. IT SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS IN SO DEEP SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO GET BACK TO NORMAL SO SHE PICKS ON YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE.

Answer 6

Hey, you know what? I was (still am) just like you growing up. I clean when I'm bored, too, I clean when I'm upset, but I admit that is sort of pathetic, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Look. I have a big brother and a little sister. I have dealt with their insults and everything they could throw my way. Just to say I know your problem.

One thing I've learned: if you don't care, people can't hurt you. So what if she calls you perfect anyway? Since when is that an insult? There's nothing wrong with wanting to please your parents. They raised you and loved you, i call it returning the favor.

Yes, she sounds immature. Girls at that age often are, mostly when they're into what your sister is.

So are you really going to lose valuable time on what she says? I know older siblings seem cool (trust me, I know) and you want them to like you, but sometimes its not worth it.

Added to that; she probably thought she was cool when she started drinking or when she did drugs. Trust me, its not. I have friends who've been there, done that, and had more than one bad experiences because of it. Me, I was allowed to drink when I was a teen, because my parents trusted me, but I never did, didn't like it, didn't like losing control. I don't regret it, if you must know. So don't do stupid things just because she wants you to.

Answer 7
