Why crusing motherhood with your sister is cool? Here's my version:
1. Blood is thicker than water, and my sister accepts me the way I am without fail.
Even when she occasionally complained about me and my weird bad habits. But you know how sisters just turn a blind eye to our petty shortcomings because they simply love us unconditionally. In addition, different parenting styles do not affect how we feel about each other.
2. We treat each other's kids like our own (well, most of the time)
Our kids meet and spend time together regularly, so it is only natural we treat them equally in almost any situation. We love spoiling each other's kids, but we also will not hesitate to tell them off when the situation calls for it. And (hopefully) no one is offended when that happens.
3. Playdates are twice as fun (for us)!
Hellooo...need I say more? It's our own sister we're hanging out with! We even have our own brand of insider's jokes. Seriously, being around each other keeps us young. The gossip, the venting session and the conversation are as spontaneous and witty as ever! Which leads to...
4. Our parents are still one of the hottest topics in our conversations
No disrespect intended at all (we love you, mum and dad!), but there are times when our way clash with that of our parents', and sisters are the people we turn to vent because they just understand. And you know how grandparents are with their grandchildren. Some things are unstoppable.
And last but not least...
5. We know we can always fall back on each other whatever happens...
Including the time when my little one bombed her diaper and my sister happened to be the only one available to change her. Ha! But kidding aside, it's really great to have someone who is always so loyal, honest and supportive that you know you can at least rely on her for a cuppa and a long, heartfelt chat.
Ever wonder what it's like to be stuck at home with two little children under the age of 7? Welcome to my parenting (mis)adventures where running the lives of two little people become both the highest and the lowest of my days. And when you can't get even with them, you just throw your hands in the air and start drawing comics! *snickers*
