[quote=Anonymous]My sister and I are 2 years apart and live nearby. We are relatively close but she is very pushy and narrow minded and it drives me crazy.  For example, she runs a book club and I am a member of it. It meets monthly and I skipped one month to meet a friend I rarely get to see. She responded to that with a long diatribe about how she wouldn’t skip a commitment and she’d do it differently, blah, blah, blah.

This is just one example. She thinks her way of doing things is the only way. Another example is our dds are both 14. Hers is way more mature than mine. She will go out for 8 hours and leave her dd in charge of younger siblings. Mine is an only and much less mature and more anxious. Dh and I will only leave her alone for a couple hours at a time. She will go on and on to me about how we need more time as a couple and our dd is 14 and she leaves her dd that age alone for hours at a time.

I don’t even want to argue with her about these things. I just need a response to shut her down when she goes on like this. I’m not looking for her opinion and her way isn’t the only way to do things.[/quote]
