Childhood is always a learning experience and comes with a learning curve, which almost all of us would have hated. Yeah, growing up with a sibling would have been our worst nightmare. You may have considered that being a single child would have been much more comfortable. If you are the elder one in the relationship, then it’s even worse. You get to bare all the responsibilities, share stuff with your little sister or brother. You might have bickered and would have gotten physical with each other so many times for the silliest reason. Well, it might look like you aren’t getting along with you sister or your brother at first, but trust me after some time, it all changes. I have been a single child in my whole life and the one thing that haunts me is that I don’t have anyone after my parents.
Well, yes, there are my sweet cousins who wouldn’t give up on me, but blood relationship is definitely stronger, isn’t it ? When I see my friends bitching about their sisters or brothers, I always wondered how fun and exciting could that be. Well, for all those people who have a sister or a brother, it is important for you to know that relationships turn and change as and when you grow up.

So, just be grateful to her and read up on these cute and sweet life lessons your little sister teaches you while you are hating her.
Top Things your Little Sister Could Teach You in Life
1Sharing lessons
Probably I’ll go with the word ‘force’ instead of ‘share’. Well, yeah, you are forced to do something just because you have a sister or a younger one at home. If your parents get you something, they expect you to share that with your dear little sister. It could be irritating when your sibling doesn’t even bother to ask you for it and just takes without your permission. But, the worst things happen when you try to hunt them and hit them for taking it from you. Yeah, instantly, you get grounded for a week or a month.
It could look like a big deal in your teens to have to share every single thing. But when you grow up, you get to realize that no matter what happens, you need each other to at least share your ideas and come up with interesting solutions. Your little sister could teach you sharing lessons!
