bullying sister

[Andyson]

my younger sister, a mum with 3 grown up kids, is constantly trying to bully me and tell me how to run my life, to th extent she advised me to leave my husband.
Any idea how I can cope with this?

just ignore her, she's prob bored with her life and wants to run yours!

[redcrx]

yeah tell her where to get off if you dont want to listen to her.

Tell her that you will not discuss your private life with her under any circumstances and stick to it. If she starts then tell her to shut up or you will walk away - and do it. But also make sure you do not discuss her private life. That way it is fair.

why doe she think you should leave your husband anyway? is you marriage in trouble?

I'm guessing that you've tried to tell her the way you feel? Have you tried writing her a letter? I've always found that i can give a much better account of myself in a letter than i can face to face because in a letter no-one can interupt you and make you forget the thing's that really hurt or bother you. Also hopefully when your sister recieves the letter she will be able to relax and read the letter properly and think about what you've written instead of it going in one ear and out of the other (which i find happens alot to people who don't really want to hear what is being said).
I hope this helps you

just knock her out and tell her to grow up, nd get a life and get her neb out o yours!

If you don't tell her your troubles, she can't tell you how to fix them.

Dont listen to her and if she constantly critisises the way you run your family then you must tell her that if she doesnt like it then not to come over.

Being able to say 'no - I am not putting up with this' will give you far more liberty and she will learn to respect your opinions and values.

Clearly she thinks her life is perfect. How would she feel if you started critisising her.

I would tell her to mind her own business though not that polite.

[Mamjet]

Why not simply beating the living **** out of her?

[chitchat]

Talk to her - she may not even be aware that she is being so bossy and may think that she is being helpful!

If you feel that is not the case then you will need to tell her how you feel about her "advice" and ask to mind her own business!
