Big Sister Blues: When Being a Role Model Gets Messy 😅

Being a big sister sounds fun—until your little brother borrows your favorite hoodie without asking, again. I try to set a good example, but sometimes it feels like he’s watching my every move just to copy the worst ones! Whether it’s sharing secrets or sticking up for him at school, the pressure to always do the right thing can be overwhelming. Last week, I tried to help him study for his math test, but he just wanted to play video games. I felt torn between being supportive and not turning into the bossy sibling. It’s tough balancing kindness, responsibility, and my own need for space. Do you ever feel like being the "good example" is just too much? Honestly, sometimes I wish I could just be the little brother for a day. Tell me, have you ever felt stuck between wanting to help and wanting to scream? Let’s swap stories—maybe we’ll figure it out together! 🤗 #FamilyDynamics#SiblingStruggles #GrowingTogether #FamilyRelationships
