First I want to start off by saying that I have a younger sister and younger brother, so I'm the oldest sibling. My mom and father are currently separated and has been for a while. I've always lived with my mom my whole life and I would visit my dad from time to time.
This story took place about four years ago and it all started from me wanting a new laptop. My dad came in town to visit and he came by to pick me up. He asked if I still wanted to get a laptop and of course I still did because I never got one yet. So he was going to take me to best buy to look at the CPU's and chose which one I wanted. In the car I was really excited and anticipating for my new computer. While we we're riding in the car my farther asked me randomly how would I feel about having a sister. My thought process at that time was that I already have younger siblings and in particular a sister. Then I replied by asking, "why?" He then told me that I have a sister and she lived thirty minutes away. In that instant moment the trip to best buy became a journey to my new sister's house. Once we pulled up at the house, you wouldn't believe it my older sister opens the door and I stood there in disbelief. I instantly had mixed emotions and I did not know what to say or how to feel.
My questions for you all are..
How would you feel if you found out that you had an older sibling?
How would you react?
That would definitely be a shocker for me but I would be anxious to see who she was. I personally, have a mixed family, meaning me and all my siblings are related through one parent. Like my brother and I share the same mother, so finding out I had a older sister would be a surprise but I definitely would not feel negatively towards it. Better late than never
ReplyDeleteI think that I would probably react the same way you did! I wouldn't know whether or not to be happy about having a new big sister, or mad that it was kept a secret from me. It would take some getting use to, but I think that after some time, I would eventually be very happy and excited and learn to love and accept my new sister.
