Sibling Problem????



I am 14 years old and my older sister is 16 and has some learning disabilities such as dyslexia. Her maturity level is the same as a 8 year olds. Whenever my parents need to work late or if they are going to a party, I have to watch her and keep her calm. At the same time, I have to act as if she is in charge, but it's hard because I can't watch her unless I actually tell her, but it's so confusing and I hate it. Like she has these spasm attacks. For example, today my mom went on a walk with my dog and my sister came up to me and she's like where's mom? And I replied that I thought she went on a walk. She started to freak out and she's like "You think? You don't know?" and I'm like "Calm down, she'll be home soon." She then said "You probably just don't care where she is." And then she ran out the door, down the street, and started wandering down this bike path. I couldn't just let her go and get lost, so I had find my 9 year old sister outside, tell her where I was going...

i have to give you props man! you have a lot on youre shoulder.you must be a really responsible kid to deal with that.your sister is not your responsibility, its your parents'. i think that they really should step in more and give you more credit for what you do.i dont have a sister with the same problem as your sister so, i dont really know waht to say, but as for your little sister... i know EXACTLY how you feel. my sister is the same way and she NEVER gets in trouble for it.. i do. but until im 18, im stuck with her. im just counting down the years.sorry i didnt have great advice but good luck! 鈽?
I think you need to have a talk with your parents. They should not be putting this much pressure on you to watch your older sister when they go out.

Tell them you are just a kid yourslef, and you do love your sister and want to spend time with her, and you promise to make time, but that you feel they should hire a sitter who knows the situation, and can handle it better. I don't think they should expect this of you, being younger than her and having to pretend you're not watching her.

You should really talk to them. If they see your point, which I hope they do, maybe you can spend time with her like sisters should in a fun way, not with you just being responsible for her and having to miss out on being a young girl yourself. Good luck.
i understand what you are saying. my heart goes out to you and your sister and family. first let me just tell you ignore when your little sister does that, most kids do, its because they know what they are supposed to do and think they can handel on their own, and when you tell them what to do they feel really low, but back to the other subject, tell your parents you understand they need help with your sister but you arent the one they need. they do need someone that is qualified for this. if they ignore you make them listen and refuse to speak to them until they do (you might get in trouble but it works) refuse to watch your sister even if they leave you in charge (but don't let them get hurt obviously) and when and if your parents listen tell them if they absolutly need you, that you are there for them, but it is not fair to you, that you have to miss out on your child hood
Sounds like like you have Middle Child Syndrome in the worst way. My Suggestion Is to start new hobbies that cause you to be out of the house more thats what i did like volleyball or basket ball or even the glee club something acaademic that occupies yout time after school as well as must weekends jus something where you can gather yourself and not have to fee like the adult your are a child and should have a happy childhood find some way to gather yourself maybe you can even stop helping your parents with your sisters maybe if that think you are un capble of assisting they will stop asking you to do it.
