How Do I Tolerate My Turkey Sister On Thanksgiving???

Hi Kerri. I’m a fraternal twin. I don’t get along with my sister Eileen. I think she’s all uptight and focused & she thinks I’m a clueless flirt. In High School she was voted “Most Likely To Succeed” & I was voted “Most Likely To Conceive”. I have to listen to her dribble about her new job – blah, blah, blah over Thanksgiving – any advice how to get along better? Thnx, Nikki
Hi Nikki! Eileen’s right – you ARE a total flirt, you’re very social, you love to miss curfew, you’re spontaneous .. I’m sure you drove her nuts while growing up, because you got more attention than she did. And You’re right – Eileen IS focused, she’s really smart & capable too – no wonder she got MostLikely to Succeed – as long as she doesn’t get side swiped by a personal life, the sky’s the limit for how high she can climb the career ladder. She needs to learn how to be more fun loving like you, and you need to learn how to be more composed, like her. Most people’s lives are a direct reflection of the expectations of their peers. Her friends are all on the career fast track & your friends are all hanging out on the social fast track. You need to prove yourself in a career before she’ll give you any credit. So start hanging out with some less fun friends (maybe you can borrow some of Eileen’s) & find a career where you are surrounded by people, where you can entertain others & where you’ll get paid for networking- you’re great at joking, putting people at ease and making small talk – just don’t talk about how your sister has no personal life:) Good Luck! Kerri
