[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both of my older siblings are bossy.  They mean well but it was very hard for them to view me as an adult until I was well into my 30s and our relationships suffered as a result.  I managed it by drastically reducing the amount I communicated with them.  The less they knew about my life, the less they could "advise" on.

When I got married, something seemed to click into place for them and they finally backed off a bit with the bossiness.  Now we can actually talk about our lives without it devolving into "you need to do this, you need to do that" discussions.[/quote]

Your siblings grew up!  Sometimes, that never happens, sadly.[/quote]

No - her siblings were prejudiced against single people and once she or was married deemed her worth communicating to as an equal.

I am the single youngest in my family and my family values me so little it is ridiculous. It is absurd how much better I get treated when I am in a relationship.[/quote]
