[quote=Anonymous]I am a middle sibling. Oddly enough, my younger sibling has always made really good choices. It's my older sibling that has made poor choices. My approach has been to offer advice *WHEN ASKED* but not to interfere when not asked. And when I have been asked, I've always framed the advice in, "X might be a more fruitful course of action than Y," offering alternatives and not necessarily accusing the sibling of being a bad person. Sometimes the sibling has taken my advice. Sometimes not. But we've never had a falling out over it, and I think that's largely because I've never butted in when not specifically asked for advice and I've never been accusatory/condescending. [/quote]
