[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 40, a grown ass woman, and the unsolicited "advice" never ceases.

Do I have thoughts and opinions about my siblings and their lives and choices? Of course! But if it's not harming anyone, I shut my mouth. None of my business. [/quote]

See this is an old post, but the best thing that ever happened to me was when I was in my late 20s and younger sister, two years younger, just let me have it over always trying to dictate every GD last thing as well as be dismissive of her life/choices/interests. And she was totally right. I'm sure I'm not good at dialing it back as needed, but it really has made me a lot more aware of having adult relationships with my siblings. Believe this came in handy with both our parents' and the ends of their lives. I was a lot more conscientious about posing questions and soliciting input on next steps with our parents - for sundry reasons this task often fell to me - rather than presenting everything as a fait accompli to them. We were always able to come to agreement, even in the hardest times.[/quote]
