Luxurious Sister
It's kinda annoying about my younger sister.(We have an age gap of seven years) Back when I was her age, our family didnt have that much money. And I only attented a decent school that's close to our rented house.When I was in nursery and kindergarten,I had to use a trycicle to get to school. When my sister was born, we moved to a new house--that we owned. And we earned a lot more money too.This year,my sister started kindergarten. And she's enrolled to a big private chinese school.(we're part chinese)And her classes start in the afternoon!When I was in kindergarten.I had to wake up earlier before the sun does!And now that we can afford a car,my family can just take her and pick her up from school. I just thought about it now. I just wanna stop feeling sorry for myself.I don't think I'm envious cause I'm not the jealous type.I just thought that maybe she has a better childhood than I did. I don't wanna think that way, but how do i stop? please help...

i'm pretty sure, if your family was better off when you were younger, then they would have done the same for you. i think you should feel happy for you sister, since she doesn't have to go through what you did before. the 7 year age gap is very big, so there will be some difficulties. just concentrate on what you have now and foget about the past. good luck.

well, its nothing you can really help.i mean, im sure your parents didnt just make money all of a sudden, just to ruin your childhood. its normal to feel kind of envious, but at the same time youve got to realize that wether she tells you or not later on in life, she is going to envy you because youre older than her, and have more privileges than her, and that will make you feel good. its jut a part of growing up. no big deal. hope i helped!

I'm the oldest too and my family is sort of like that. If i got in trouble... I was grounded forever. my younger brother...if he does something then "it's ok, just don't do it again". Persoanlly, I think it makes you a better/stronger person because you had to learn to take care of yourself. I had to try things and see what works to better protect/guide my brother so i think you can do that. try to not compare things because what is fair, isn't always equal. as for when classes start, it depends where you live. the people that live close to the school went to the morning kindergarten and the ones that live further away went to afternoon kindergarten. It gets you more ready for the rest of your school years to go in the morning. let me know if you need any more help... <3

I can only guess your age at being early teens. Life at that age can seem really unfair when others have what we wanted. You do sound a little envious to me and that is quite a natural feeling as long as it doesn't take over every other emotion. Be pleased for your parents in that they have improved their lifestyle and can now afford better things for their children. You will also benefit from this improvement. I assume that you love your little sister so why not be happy that she is getting a better start. You have not had a horrendous start in life but at the moment it must seem worse than it is. By accepting the differences you can move forward in life. Yes you will get jealous over different things - we all do - but it is how you handle it that will make life easier. I wish you and your family a very happy and settled future.

You can maybe think about what she doesn't have. It seems odd really, but you are probably a stronger person now because of your harder childhood. Your sister doesn't have that. She seems to be sheltered. Someday, she won't have that any more, and you'll help her cope with it, because you'll have learned to a long time ago.
