What should you call your ex-sister-in-law?
Your ex-sister-in-law is either the ex-wife of your brother or the sister of your ex-spouse. In either case, the English language has not yet developed a term describing her relationship to you.
What are the disadvantages for being a first born?
Parents lend their children their experience. And, as you gather experience throughout your life, the more you have of it, the more you can give to your children. That is the accepted wisdom. But being a young parent has its advantages too. It allows you to stay up at night and feel less worn out the next day. In other words it is easier to withstand the stresses of parenthood when you're young. I would say that wisdom will carry the day. That the greater your life experience, the better the chances of embuing your children with some of that wisdom. Read more about young parenthood in Sears "Caring for your Baby and Young Child." I would say being a young parent has its advantages and disadvantages because you will not be mature enough but when you have another baby you will be more experienced.
What is meant by siblings between two persons?
A sibling is a brother or sister- someone with the same parents as you.
What to do when your sister doesn't like you?
You should not try to reason with her or talk to her because that will just make her more mad or upset if you make her a present or apologize she will probably forgive you. Of you did not do anything wrong than give her some space. Also if it's a younger sister give her a present if it's an older sister use my other advice :)

How can you get rid of annoying brothers and sisters?
You will never be able to get rid of your brother and sister even if they are annoying because that is what siblings do and you just have to be the good guy(person) and ignore. that way you don't get in trouble!
And by the way, always remember that you love them deep, deep, deep, deep, deep(very deep-you get the point) down in your heart!
Can a sibling sue another sibling for interference with inheritance?
That's the decision of the executor of the estate. If the other siblings want to keep the property, they would have to pay the other for their share.
How can you make your little sister stop being annoying?
The first thing your not supposed to do is pour jam all over your sister and rub her in peanut butter. That is what my brother did to my little sister. Girls usually love dolls. If they are little, that's one way to occupy them. If they are older, than that might be a little harder. Older girls are harder to occupy. Girls are just naturally that way. If your older sister loves TV suggest for her to go watch TV. If you want to annoy her and get her to leave you alone at the same time than consider doing the following: Get a bucket of water and put it above her bedroom doorway. When she opens the door it should fall. When you see that she is soaking wet, pretend you don't even know what happened and say you don't even know what she is talking about in front of everyone in your family. You later tell her that you did it all. Make sure there are no cameras around that could possibly be filming what your saying. She will end up telling your parents but nobody will believe her. You shall be innocent, while everyone else in your family wonders who could have possibly done it. Well I must go, you should by now know what to do if your sister is annoying you.
Why are your mom and sister always fighting?
you did not mention your age, so I will assume you are a teenager, if you are , teenagers and parents have been at odds with each other since time began! the Main reason being, is that the parent will want the best and be most protective of the child, however, the child wants to carve their own way in life and take some risks which of course starts the "fight" these are very difficult times for both the parent and the child, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, once your parents can see that you are responsible they will give you more leeway, just grin and bear it!
Can you be eighteen and be a legal guardian to a sixteen year old?
You could be a guadian to an under 16 year old maybe if you are classed as responsible enough but many different things are taken into account ie. housing that you live in, mental and physical state of you and the 16- year old, relasion etc... etc...
How do you get your older sister to stop being annoying?
um well the best thing to do is just ignore her and eventually she will get bored because all she really wants is attention so don't give her any
Can half sibling have a relationship?
Whether or not it is legal depends on what country (or state) you're in, but it would be illegal in virtually all. In most countries/states, it would - legally speaking - be the same as a relationship with a full sibling.
It would, regardless of the law, be strongly discouraged. It would put huge strain on the family, it would be frowned upon and it would disgust most people.
And most importantly: A possible child would be far more likely to have heritable illnesses, and would be at great risk for painful illnesses. Lack of genetic diversity increases the risks of congenital deadly diseases multiple times.
What should you get for your 19 year old sister?

How do you expose a narcissistic sibling?
The same rules apply wherever you find a narcissist in your life. You need to educate yourself about this personality type.
Create emotional distance. You need to strengthen your ability to detach yourself from them in all ways. You need to learn not to waste your time trying to correct them or change the way they act. You can only change yourself and grow stronger. Don't let them define you.
Create boundaries. You need to learn to not be drawn in to arguments so that you can be blamed as being part of the problem. Don't let them "push your buttons". Turn your buttons off and they may eventually leave you alone. Define your limits. Do not allow them to disrespect you, "tell you off", criticize you, or goad you into an argument. Learn to walk away.
Do not share information with them. Do not share your plans, dreams, goals, secrets, worries, or any other private information. They will use that knowledge against you. Do not let them into your personal life. Have your own friends so they won't have the opportunity to undermine your other relationships. Minimize your time with your narcissist.
Do not expect them to change.
Do not expect support from other family members. You must learn that you may not be able to depend on support from other family members for many reasons. They may not be the focus of the narcissists behavior to the same degree as you. They may find it easier to give in rather than deal with the behavior. They may fail to recognize the problem on purpose in order to avoid the responsibility of dealing with it. They may not have the strength of character to deal with the narcissist effectively and that's what you need to find in yourself in order to move on with your own life.
See the following helpful advice by contributors, related links, and the discussion page for anecdotal information from contributors.
- Gain independence- this is one way to win after coping with negative feelings. it starts with you; you choose your company! Go to a local church or several churches and speak to your pastor and ministry to help you or talk to someone you trust.
- My experience with narcissistic personality disorder in my family is that boundaries seem to be a fluid thing for them. Going no contact on your part does not necessarily stop them from contacting you. Sometimes it just fuels a narcissistic rage. They have no capacity for introspection so will never recognize, understand or change their behavior. Fortunately, they are predictable. So once you define their methods: gaslighting, passive-aggression, bullying, etc., you are more capable of defending yourself against the onslaught. One of my most helpful responses is, "how unfortunate for you". Confrontation is never effective. It's like asking a blind man to see. But there really is no response to the "unfortunate" statement.
- I think getting into therapy would help all of us. It helped me. A therapist helped me to see how I was acting in response to my narcissistic sister in unhealthy patterns. You can't change the narcissist but you can change yourself. My sister finally realized I was not going to participate with her games. I now love her from afar and am so much happier. I also never discuss her with my mom who is one of her enablers. I once asked my therapist if she treated many narcissists. Her reply was; "Sadly no, they don't think they need help, I just treat their victims".
- I think you keep your expectations low. You can have fun with a narcissistic sibling, but you can't do much disagreeing with him or her, so you can't expect to achieve real closeness. Someone who cuts you off or jumps down your throat when you so much as raise an eyebrow is someone you have a one-dimensional relationship with, and since it's you who are in his/her world, you had better hope it's at least entertaining. Draw your boundaries fiercely and demand reasonable treatment as soon as you are able. The sibling may understand this and respect you for it eventually, though he/she will be shocked at first. After that, the going is easier.
- Narcissists are narcissists, whatever their role in your life -- mother, father, spouse, son, sibling, neighbor, colleague, or boss. They are so homogeneous and predictable. You have to decide if you want to stay in touch, however minimal, or if you are ready to disconnect.
- If you want to have any kind of relationship (not in the true sense of the word) with a sibling who is a narcissist, you'll need to be the one to do the compromising. With my younger sister, I need to space out my visits, realize that I will leave tired and with a headache, prepare myself to listen to a non-stop stream of complaints and criticism, and generally feel as if the life has been sucked out of me. I do this because I want to have a true relationship with my niece and nephew who have suffered a lot of verbal abuse from my sister over the years to show the children that not all adults are lacking in empathy, are self-centered, critical, say such mean things, and have temper tantrums to rival any 5 year old.
My sister is mean what do I do about it?
You can ask them to stop and if they don't tell somebody like your Mom or Dad
What is a role of ancestors to a family?
Ancestors and family were important to early Africans for various reasons. In most cases, the ancestors determined the skills and trade that a family would engage in.
What can you do to stop your brother from telling you what to do?
Be clear to yourself. What are you doing that your brother is telling you to do? Are you not doing your chores? Are you fooling around the house? Have you don your homework? Thins like this if you haven't done yet your brother is just concern for you to do the right things. Your growing and it makes you made that people tell you what to do but everything in life is following orders or making orders and you should , for now, follow orders if not you can get into a lot of trouble.
I believe her full blood sister is Nemesis, however she is sometimes called a daughter of Zeus, so she is related to alot of people. Some also say she is a daughter of Hermes or Aphrodite. It just depends on whoever you are reading.
