I have a brother and a sister - Brother checks on me if there is a storm but very very distant in thinking and encouragement, not in miles...cooks me dinner for my birthday! Sister does not like me since birth and has cost me dearly over the years in self esteem and funds for lawyer protection. I am glad she lives far away.

I’m getting ever closer and whether it’s successful or not I’m going to enjoy it. Avlor I don’t suppose you would have said my sister and I were friends as we grew up. We fought like everyone else, but when the chips were down we were there for one another. Getting an endorsement from my sister is like finding rocking horse dung.

My sister is great, but knows enough about what makes me tick to set me off the wrong way with only ONE word! LOL. I’m looking forward to getting this going. I’m going to have a lot of fun with it. Kim It’s nice to have the sort of relationship where you can have totally opposing views and yet set all that aside and be able to enjoy each other’s company. Are you still confused? If you are, I didn’t do a very good job and I’d like to put that right :) Patrick Hi Patrick, I imagine that a novel is a very personal thing and I can imagine it’s difficult to let other people see it in the draft stages. Having someone you trust so deeply to give you honest feedback is so valuable. Your sister sounds great. :) Davina Wow. I guess that’s true. Don’t ever tell her she has this power over me. She’d only abuse it. :D BTW that was VERY deep. ;) Panther I love that story about your daughter with the 90 minute call time. I couldn’t talk for that long to anybody! It must warm your hear to see that your children have a strong bond. I hope the same is true of my own. At the moment that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen though. :lol: Beth Thank you. My sister is terrific. We’re 250 miles from each other but that doesn’t matter at all.

I don’t suppose there’s too much I can do about it, except as you say, by setting the example. You say the nicest things…. which actually makes <em>me</em> the lucky one. Thank you. :) Lance

But they are the first ones I turn to for advice. For that very reason. Plus, it helps that we all come from the same upbringing, so we understand each other better than a non-family member might. I am pleased to see that my young adult children have the same relationship amongst themselves. Actually, I had to laugh the other day. My eldest daughter was trying to sign up for a phone plan for her new apartment. She was basing it on the fact that a minimum phone call to her sister was easily 90 minutes. Then she had to multiply by the number of times per month she phoned her. Turns out she needd a really good long distance plan. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Urban Panther´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.urbanpantherslair.com/2009/01/when-your-kids-move-back-home.html" rel="nofollow">When your kids move back home</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> My brothers don’t pull any punches (figuratively, not literally).
