Am I being rude to my sister?

Have you been rude to your sister, or if you don't have a sister, maybe to your brother?? As the eldest daughter, I was held responsible for taking careof and guiding my siblings, being an example of whether it could or couldn't help them…

As you help your parent and guide them, you may tend to be impatient because of their innocence in so many things in life, things that they do not know or know but do not even understand further.

Yesterday, my sister and I went to the mall. We were happy then and very excited to go shopping. But things turned negative when I held my sister responsible for the clothes that I bought. She forgot about it. She forgot where she put it, and I really got pissed, and that pissedness turned to getting mad at her.

I was thinking about the price of those clothes, whether it's cheap or not. If you've been trusted with something, you should take care of it. So instead of going shopping or to the mall to take a walk, I decided to go home. Her face turned dim—I just can't talk to her.

She cried silently, reflecting on my reaction, completely unaware of the impact it had on her. When we got home, it hit me hard: she’s still so young and just beginning to understand what true responsibility means. I realized it was my fault for not being more patient and for failing to explain things to her. My own actions surprised me and forced me to confront my behavior. 

It’s a reminder that we all have room to grow, especially when it comes to how we treat those we care about.

This was only a light event with us, but it teaches us valuable lessons. Whether you have siblings or not, always remember the importance of kindness, patience, and understanding in your relationships. Appreciate your loved ones and communicate openly, as these bonds shape our experiences.

1. Some do not mean it

Not all people really mean what they say to you; it is either positive or negative. So, any one of us must fully understand the whole situation, especially the emotional state of that person.

2. You're older or more experienced

If that person wasn't capable of what you've trusted them/her with, and they made a flaw or a mistake in it. You must remember to make yourself calm and think twice before getting mad at the person. Instead of scolding or putting them to shame to make them fear you, try explaining it first, since you're older and have more experience than your siblings.

3. Be patient

I know! I know that some of us have been impatient with our siblings and even friends, but before getting mad at anyone, you should consider whether they can fully understand the situation, whether they can learn from their mistake, and what they need to learn.

4. Entrusted—take care of it

If you've been trusted by someone or something, then you must take care of it; as the saying goes, 'Trust is the most difficult thing to build with someone,' especially nowadays!. And if you break the trust once, twice, or even thrice, that will be harder for you to gain back.

5. Learn to forgive

Every one of us must learn to forgive; even if the mistakes that person leaves you with a deep scar, still, you have to forgive. Remember—nobody's perfect. Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting—you're just giving the person a chance to learn from his mistake or do again what he has done to you.
