[quote=Anonymous]Recently my boyfriend and I relocated to the same area as my sister her family. My sister and I have always been close but haven't lived near each other in ten years (since we lived with our parents). She was nick named 'mother hen' by our family because she acts like my parent - which was fine as a child but I am well over te age of 18 now.

Since living so near to her there have been a few things I've noticed about our sibling relationship that maybe weren't as obvious when we lived 5 hours from each other.

We are planning to move into a new townhouse/apartment this summer and she has made it apparent they feel we (my boyfriend and I - again both adults!) are unable to find appropriate housing and we must let her husband and herself help us find something suitable. The problem is we have very different opinions: She wants us in a complex and I personally HATE complexes and want something more home but she continues to stay on my ass about all the issues she's sure I will have.

Another issue that bothers me is that when family comes to visit, they want to see both of us. Somehow she is the only person able to plan activities or where we all meet for dinner - which is fine but the times she chooses  for these activities are completely not negotiable. If she plans for us to meet our dad for dinner at 5:30 and I get out at 5:30 then she shames me for making them change their plans... More then once she's commented how she doesn't want me to ruin their dinner by having to be somewhere hours later - and if that was going to happen i should just not come... 
Another issue is constantly locking me into plans with her and then ditching out on me last minute but if I do the same we don't

This kind of turned into a rant and I apologize for that... Any constructive advice with how to deal would be great.[/quote]
