It was hard when we were in transition (me in high school, her still in middle school; and me in college with her still in high school), but now we're super close. It's great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2450255 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 22:36:52 +0000 LovelyPlum 2450255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay, hooray!! I have 4 sisters, and yes, it was at times high drama. But we're all older now and get along really well. It will be so fun!</p> <p>My advice? When they get to that stage, buy each one their own hair dryer. That would have saved a LOT of fights in our family ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2450233 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 22:24:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 2450233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2450229 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 22:22:05 +0000 Mrs. Cookie 2450229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love having a sister! She is a year and a half younger than me and we did fight all the way through middle and high school but as adults we get along really well and it's been SO fun raising our sons together so close in age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2450104 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 21:30:37 +0000 MrsKoala 2450104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!

I love my sister! We hang out. We are friends. We call each other Stister and have lots of inside jokes. I have brothers, too and they're cool but SISTERS are where it's at.</p> <p>When we have a second I want another girl! I want my LO to have what I have. Yes we argued when we were younger but ultimately it was awesome and is still awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449710 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 17:15:11 +0000 Aimed121 2449710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: Congratulations! I have an older sister who is my best friend - no real drama growing up besides the usual sibling stuff, we also have a large age gap though.</p> <p>As for the 'drama' - I think that young girls get labelled with the 'drama' and 'diva' stickers all to easily when it's really just usual sibling stuff. Their personalities and your parenting will determine who they become more than their genders. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449653 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:33:58 +0000 winniebee 2449653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>congrats!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449641 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:24:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2449641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats! I have a sister but from a G/B/G family so we are pretty far apart. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449617 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:12:47 +0000 Kimberlybee 2449617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! I love having 2 girls. I have a 2 year old and a newborn. They have daddy wrapped around their fingers, especially my toddler. DH doesn't even want to try for a boy, he thinks little girls are just the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449603 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:07:32 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2449603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have three sisters and it is amazing. I don't know how far apart your girls will be, but I have 5 years between my older one and me, 18 months between me and my younger, and 4 between me and my youngest. I was best friends with my 18 month younger sister when we were little and then we went through a rough patch from about 11 until I was finished university. Now we're really close again. I think our close ages fed into some jealousy and muddled friendships, but our years not spent being super friendly haven't ruined our current relationship so I think everything worked out how it was supposed to. I know that things can sometimes be rocky with kids who are close in age, regardless of gender.</p> <p>Congratulations!</p> <p>I hope I'll get to give my little girl a sister one day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449601 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 16:07:04 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2449601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have 3 girls.

Thats so exciting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449480 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:03:09 +0000 deerylou 2449480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm one of two daughters, 3.5 years apart. My mom has always maintained that we were polar opposites in every which way, until we grew into young adults. I was intense and independent while my sister was more timid and content to exist at our mother's legs. All around, just very different strengths, weaknesses and needs. I'm sure this lent itself to parenting challenges and sister drama. The teen years were pretty up and down.</p> <p>Now that we're adults, we still have our challenges. We argue and it gets heated and ridiculous. However, she's one of my very best friends. She was my maid of honor and is Godmother to my daughter. I love her fiercely and our bond is pretty unreal.</p> <p>We're trying for our second/last, and I've said it would be nice to have one of each. However, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have pretty warm feelings about a sister dynamic, in our household. Warts and all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449478 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:02:28 +0000 JoJoGirl 2449478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Greentea: @erinpye: Haha thank you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449477 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:02:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 2449477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Charm54: all of this! My 3 sisters are my best friends! My older sister and I never really fought growing up- we are about 4 years apart in age and have always gotten along and she is still my best friend. My younger sister who is 3 years young- we did fight. A lot. But i think that just have to do with personality. </p> <p>I was also super excited when LO2 was another girl. DH would have liked to have a boy but I am so excited that they will have a sister. Seriously, sisters are the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449476 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:02:15 +0000 JoJoGirl 2449476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Waffles: That actually happened with my older brother too (also 4 years apart), and stayed tense until he went to college and found himself a little bit. I guess that's independent of gender. </p> <p>@HLK208: Thank you! &lt;3 Hope you're hanging in there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449474 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 15:01:26 +0000 erinpye 2449474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's the BEST THING EVER!

Also, according to research, families with 2 girls is the most harmonious mix, apparently! (That's what I read!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449461 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 14:52:22 +0000 Mrs.Waffles 2449461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations! I have a sister, no brothers. Growing up we would fight a lot, but we would also play a lot with one another. I think we had the most tension in our relationship when my sister entered the teenage years as we are four years apart, and I guess it was difficult to relate to one another as I was a "kid" wanting to play and she was no longer interested in that. But as adults now I considered her one of my best friends and she feels the same way. So nothing to worry about. Having a sister is great, in many ways we are very different, but we also have a lot of the same interests. So we get a long just fine. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449456 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 14:50:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 2449456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First off CONGRATS!! I have two girls, and I can't imagine anything different. They LOVE each other so much, LO2 first word was "me me" which is her trying to say her sister's name. They look at each other with such love (2 1/2 years apart) that I find myself just stopping and watching it. My husband was the same way, but now says he wouldn't mind having another girl, says he doesn't know how to handle boys! ha </p> <p>I grew up with 2 sisters, we fought/we had drama, but in the end we were ALWAYS there for each other, I want the same for my daughters. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sisters#post-2449449 Thu, 04 Feb 2016 14:46:19 +0000 Meow 2449449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: My two best friends are sisters, two years apart. They fought crazy hard growing up (still do...) but they are also the best of friends. Even though I am close with both of them, I will never have what they have with each other. Personality plays a big part too, they are total opposites which I think causes a lot of the fights. I have an older brother but always wished for a sister. Congratulations! </p>
