I get along with my sister when I am just with her and I get along with my brother when I am just with him. When we are together...all three of us my sister always seems to take something I say and jump on it, try to start an argument. I have always thought that both my brother and sister try to put on airs a bit and can be a bit snobby about the things that they talk about when they are together but I try to ignore it. Why would my sister do this when my brother is around. I guess I should ask her but maybe someone has been in the same situation. Reply to this Question |

I think sometimes family members fall into roles and automatically act in certain ways in different circumstances. Your sister perhaps isn't even aware of what she's doing, it's just how she is when the family gets together. You could try laughing it off when she next does it, to deflate the situation. I think if you let it annoy you it could make matters worse. My best advice is to say rise above it.

 i think its attention seeking well so it sounds like it. when you are all together she knows your brother will get attention too so she trys to act spoilet and horrible because that may be the only way she sees to get sttention. if she is old enough to have a serious adult talk to then maybe you should explain to her that you love both your brother and her the same! if she is not old enough in time she will get out of it its a common thing most children go through.
