Do you have a sibling that is particularly overbearing or overprotective of you?
I have two older sisters, the middle being about 2 years older, the oldest being 7 years older. We were raised by my single mother who worked three jobs to raise us. We are all very close.
However, my middle sister is insanely overprotective and overbearing. Throughout my life she has hated every person I am friends with or dated, and made that very clear to me and the people themselves. She has even gone to the lengths of telling people they cannot have anything to do with me or threatening them, regardless of how well they treat me. She acts as though I am 6 years old and don’t know anything, even though I am 21.
Well, since I will be talking to her about my issues with her being overbearing in the next 24 hours, I thought I would ask who else has a sibling like this? How did you deal with them in the past or even now? What are the crazy things they have done or do still to “protect” you?

If by ‘overbearing and overprotective of me’ you mean ‘90% of time interacting is spent irritating the hell out of me’, then yes. I have a sibling who is overbearing and overprotective of me.
In other news, I would’ve told your sister to bugger off by now.
Your description of your sister’s actions does not sound like typical “overbearing” sibling behavior.
Are you still living at home? Because I would run away as fast as possible.
How does she know who your friends are? i would not hang around her or have my friends come to the house.
When you confront her, I would have your other sister and your mom there for support.
I’m the oldest, I’m sure my sisters would accuse me of this.
Actually, I’m the overprotective one. I have a sister who’s 4 years younger and a brother who’s 12 years younger, and I think it’s my job to look out for them.
In regards to my sisters’ dating life, I think she’s glad that I’m the overprotective one, because if left up to my Dad, well it just wouldn’t be good.
I totally get that an older sibling’s job is to protect their younger siblings, @jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities it’s just that there have been two times in particular that she has done the whole, “Stay the hell away from my sister thing.”
@Marina I don’t live with her and haven’t for a few years now. And including my sister and mother in it, will just blow it out of proportion since it is just between her and me. Not to mention they don’t live near by enough for that to be possible.
@daemonelson I have told her about it numerous times, this is just going to be the first time I sit her down and basically tell her off.
@IBERnineD Good to hear that you’re taking up this matter. Things will probably be quite rocky for a while. But eventually they should settle down.
