Do you get on with your sister?
Discussion
Used to be at each other's throats as kids. She is older, and together with the baby sitter they used to tie me to a swivel chair and spin me until I went green.
Things improved when I moved away for Uni, and get on brilliantly now. She even trusted me to photograph her wedding...though if I'd cocked that up I suspect the chair and rope would have re-appeared...

Interesting question, I hated my younger sister all the time i lived at home she was a pest, demanding and always getting her own way, manipulative and able to twist both my parents round her finger, She moved away about 14 years ago a I had very little to do with her, I might have spoken to her 10 times in all those years.
She moved back last year, and came to live minutes away from where we all work (family business) she slotted straight back in to the old ways of extracting money from my parents and not working and generally being loud and obnoxious, she tried to belittle me again and we had some epic arguments.
It all came to a head when I had as close to a nervous breakdown as I think it is possible to come with out actually having one.
I almost attacked her and certainly frightened her with my red mist angry man rage.
I took a day or so to climb down off it and in the meantime my parents finally saw what i had been putting up with for all these years and backed me up.
She has changed as a result of me scaring her and the fact that lots of people have told her what they think of her behviour, i have got 30 years of anger out of my system and we both realise we are very different people and are not compatible.
As a result of this new found empathy toward one another we are closer than ever, I dont get a feeling of dread when I know she is going to be about and I actually have time to talk to her now.
I do actually like my sister now, i can deal with her, understand her and tolerate her, she seems to ba able to do the same for me.

Sister is 18 months older than me, never really got on when we were growing up, don't really speak now. Nothing in particular just that we don't have anything in common.
Looks kinda cold when is written down like that but thats just us. Doesn't help that she is in the States and I'm in France.
