<p>here comes another advice thread... but anyway my big sis(shes 18 and a fresh at lsu) comes home for break and we talk and hang out like usual, my sister has always been boy and money crazy but i didnt really take it seriously before... so we start talking about life plans and she tells me that she plans to marry a guy for money and live off of him and she also plans on having a kid at the age of 21 and she is currently dating a lsu b-ball player just b/c he might make it big (he has no chance of going pro though), i kinda dont know what to say so im just like "ok". I really want to tell her that she is going to screw up her life but since im 9 months younger and not anything near a good role model, i would feel kinda weird , and even hypocritical to an extent, telling her what to do. I cant tell any parents(not my style) so that is completely out of the question.... basically im asking what would you do??</p>
<p>if it were me? I'd let her make her own mistakes and live her own life, but that's probably not the advice you're looking for.</p>
<p>I doubt theres anything you could say that would give her some sudden epiphany, so just chill and let her do what she wants.</p>
<p>If it were my sister I'd argue it out in a heated debate. Mm that would be fun.</p>
<p>i'd be tell her what i think of her. First, let it out slowly.. then she'll get the idea that u don't approve.. and then she'll debate.. and you can debate more.. and then she'll shout.. and then you'll shout.. and both of you's will cry.</p>
<p>And then she'll hate you for like a month or 2. but the debate will still be in her head and eventually, she'll make a decision. If she makes a bad one, atleast you gave your input about it. That's what family's are there for.</p>
<p>I'd write the conversation down to the best of your ability. Use the transcript as a last resort.</p>
<p>hm.. i dont know how serious she is about this plan..? she's still young and she might think that's what she wants now but she could easily change her mind anytime. i have 3 younger brothers, the oldest is like 1 yr younger than me and hes not the most responsible person to say the least.. honestly, i wouldnt listen to him if he tried to give me advice about life. you can try to tell her (gently) that you think it's a bad idea but if i were her i wouldnt really listen. hopefully as she matures she'll realize soon that her plan is a bit flawed</p>
