omg. She is exactly like my eldest.
i hope ines can talk more, i feel like most of the time sarah is the one talking non stop. let her share more and truly validate her feelings. I feel she is left so unheard and almost backed into a corner to just have to agree.
Wow Mark and Sarah I agree with you too well said love your voice and the miracle family too testimony sharing and the videos too Ines is so grown up and shine for the Lord together always đđđ„°đđđđŻđđ
Oh gosh being the older sibling đđ. I can relate with Ines so much! It sucks! It really really does. Thereâs a three year difference with my brother and I and I grew up basically my whole childhood hating my brother because he was such an annoyance, he took up so much time with my parents, and I felt that my thoughts and emotions were never heard/validated by my parents because it was always justified that Iâm the older one and so, I should do this, I should not be this way, I should be better bc Iâm older. It was so frustrating!!!! Honestly, itâs a bit triggering hearing Sarah talk đ but I do think Ines is so lucky to have both parents being so articulate in explaining to her and reaffirming her that she is still so loved and important. It helps!
Anyway, I do truly believe that there will come a time, youâll appreciate having a sibling. It took me until I was in my early 20s to come to this realization. I would honestly say my brother is my best friend now because we can both connect and relate to each other in ways friends cannot. That sibling sibling bond is so special because you grow up with each other and youâre in the same environment. You grow up under the same parents, so that in itself is a point of connection like, relating to how frustrating your parents are, helping out each other with your parents, having funny inside jokes. Itâs very nice knowing you have a sibling later on in life. It took me a long time to get to here despite having a three year age gap and unfortunately, itâll probably be longer for you, Ines, since your siblings will have to grow up to teenage/adulthood years. But trust, there will come a time that you will be grateful and thankful that you have siblings to go through life with, share life with, and support/lean on during difficult times. Throughout my childhood, I argued and fought with my brother SO much. And every time, my grandmother would always say, you have to be nice and learn to be nice because once I pass, your parents pass, theyâll be all you got. It was always stuck in my head because I never understood it as a child but now, later on in life as an adult, I do agree. It is so true. I know it must be hard to see it right now, but itâs just a thought to keep in the back of your mind â€
Parenting is really hard...its truly an everyday struggle
this is super guilt-tripping for the oldest child, you did not listen to her still even when she was ranting. Keep on standing up for the younger kids, no doubt they need to learn but the oldest child still needs a listening ear without being invalidated over every single thing she feels or says
Dude all she does is whine like a baby. Half of her words are just mumbles and sounds rather than actual words. She is 17 mind you, she should be old enough to understand that the little sibling will always matter more when they are younger due to the higher maintenance.
About the Milo incident âŠ. Mum could have just asked Jie Jie to pour half a cup for Leon to drink first then later on Jie Jie can again make another cup for herself secretly âŠ. Settle ⊠both sides get what they want
Itâs lowkey triggering when Ines says âI donât wanna be a third parentâ They arenât asking you to be one, they are asking you to be a sister to him. Just spend some time with him here and there and by doing so you lessen your parents workload and they are able to focus on you too. Just a simple helping him with homework would free up so much time cause your parents wouldnât need to helo him with it then. Instead of whining so much and blaming them maybe you should see how you can improve first.
Ines. It's typical parent behaviour with multiple kids. Can empathise.
