My bf's little sisters have waged a war with me and I am in my corner laughing LOL!
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 05:43 AM by BelleCarolinaPeridot
And I am over here laughing because I did not do anything wrong. My bf has 4 little sisters who are all in high school. The older one is a sweet heart, nice enough to be civil with me and get to know me as time progresses. But the other three: they are going to give me the hardest time. And I understand why. I don't have little sisters and my little brother is 16 so this is kind of a new for me. I hope they don't think that I am taking their older brother away from them. I had to tell him Saturday that he can't make them like me, but at the same time they don't have a right to be rude to me. If I talk to them and ask them questions the snappy responses get old after a while. And if it looks like I am avoiding them, its because I have to bite my tongue. At least his parents like me, that's all that matters. I know how teenagers are (I used to be one)but its funny that they expect me to me to be this uber bad girl with a bad past and I am not. This is only my second bf and I don't have any children, which is a shocker for them. I hope they know that I am not going anywhere and the little fights are just a waste of time lol.

1. The women on my mother's side of the family were harsh
One uncle married late in life and only now, 40 years later, does my Aunt feel like part of the family. My mother, grandmother and aunts were experts at arms-length civility.

2. I am the world's sweetest person...
And even when you cross me wrong, I might go off and say what I have to say but then I also hug you. I am weird like that. Its just something that I don't want to have to put up with - especially if the excuse is "oh they're young". No, they know better.

3. Well, if you plan on a long-tern relationship
...you'll figure out how best to deal with the family dynamics. Just remember, family ties are usually stronger than romantic ones. If it comes down to a me-or-them scenario, the odds are high that your boyfriend will choose his sisters.

6. Are they close to you in age?
I really don't know how to answer. I never had to get to know any of my SO's siblings so that was never an issue. If they don't warm up to you, ignore them - their loss.

7. My Mother went through a long, abusive relationship with my
Edited on Mon Mar-30-09 01:33 PM by Roon
ex step-father. He was a mean drunk and used to beat us kids and Mom. Anyway, my Mother finally got a divorce and she met someone within months after the papers were signed. My sister, who was a teen at the time, wasn't having any of it. This poor guy used to park his car down the street and walk up to our house and sneak in to see my Mother. My sister and brother both moved in with my Father leaving me, my Mother, and her boyfriend in this big house by ourselves.

Fast forward 25 years later. My new step-Father and my sister and brother are all best friends and share our overflow cabin in the mountains. They play poker, laugh it up, and have a good time. I always knew my step-Father was cool,I never had a problem with him. But because of my Mother's abusive relationship with our former step-father, my brother and sister didn't give him a chance.

Give it time, your bf's siblings will grow to love you. :-)
