Older sister’s guilt🥺

I forget my little sis is still just a kid sometimes😭😭😭

Lately she keeps asking me to play barbie dolls with her, and at first I kept saying no because I’d grown out of that, and then I remembered that this is her entire childhood and it’s slipping away because everybody grew up without her🥺So long story short, I now ask her to play Barbie’s with me, because I can’t stand the fact that she has no one to play with anymore💔

When a little sister wants to play simple games like Barbie dolls, it’s a reminder that she's still exploring her imagination. Playing with her not only strengthens the bond but also keeps her childhood alive during this pivotal time. Understanding your role can transform guilt into quality time. Remember, she looks up to you as a role model. By engaging in her childhood activities, you're showing her that her interests matter. This helps her feel valued and connected, especially when she may struggle with feelings of loneliness as you grow older and embark on new journeys. Ensuring she doesn’t feel left behind is crucial for her emotional development. By embracing this responsibility, you can make lasting memories that both of you will cherish for years to come.

I’m 20, my youngest sibling is a month old. My biggest worry and guilt is that he’s never going to see me as anything other than just another grown up….
