My Sister
Well my sister is going through that stage where she is rebellious and hates everyone. She is fourteen. My mom is trying to ask me for advice. I guess she just assumes that since I was such a good daughter, and Alison is a bad daughter that she should take advice from me about what she should do. I’m really not sure. I know that sounds horrible, but it is the truth. I was a horrible baby, but I turned out to be a good kid. My sister was an amazing baby, but she turned out to be a bad kid. Kind of weird. I really think it’s funny that my mom wants to talk to me and get advice from me now that I’ve moved out. It’s sad I had to do something so drastic to make her realize she needs some work. Now I just want everyone to know I do love my family, but they are still my family. Everything they do drives me crazy, but now that I don’t see them every day, we get along so much better. It took them about four months though to start talking to me again after I moved out. Anyway back to my sister. My mom thinks my sister is going to be gothic. I’m really not sure. Yes she likes heavy make-up, but she is in that “wear too much make-up” stage. I went through that. Man did I love eyeliner! Lol! She does wear the converses, but that is sort of popular now. Her friends are the wear black all the time and complain about how horrible their life is kind of people. They are nice people, but when you look at him, you get a bad impression, and my mom is the judgmental queen. My sister is very much a girly girl, so I don’t think she will be gothic. She loves pink, make-up, texting, and she is obsessed with her straightener. I have tried to give my mom all the advice I can. I have liked this because it has given me an opportunity to tell my mom what I think about her but in an undercover sort of way. I am enjoying this. Is that not horrible or what.

It's hard to try to reason with any 14 year old. Now that I'm older and more mature I realize that I thought I kew everything when I was 14. I'm not really close with my mom and I think that was a big problem. The advice I would give your mom is just to try to be understanding towards your sister. She'll grow up eventually! We all do...
No, it's not horrible. Sounds like you are just venting and love your family. As a mother of 2 girls myself, I know you should not expect the second to be like the first. Of course, when you have your second child the only experience you have to compare is the experience with the first. Which is more experience than you had the first time. I know that sounds rather circular. You should just reassure your mom that little sis will be more than likely be ok as long as she knows she is loved. She has to reach and explore her independence.
I have a fourteen year old sister, too. I think that parents sometimes forget what it is like to be that age. For me, I was trying to find out who I was, so there was a lot of weird stuff going on. That is cool that your mom came to you for advice.
Being fourteen really is the "I hate the world stage". That can be a really hard time for kids. Most just want someone to listen to them.
