writes:All my friends used to go on that the youngest in the house was the favorite. But I'm the youngest in my house and I never was, it was my sister 2 years older. I know it's very childish to talk about it because I'm 18 and she's 20 but the thing is she always follows our mother everywhere. If my mum decides she wants to go shopping my sister will go. And I've confronted her over this because I just dont think it's right that she's this clingy. Like there a couple of weeks ago I was buying my prom dress and my own mother didn't take me, I had to go up with my other sister and then yesterday I went up for a fitting with my mother and my clingy sister had to come with us even though when she got hers she said these words "no one could see hers" and I wanted it to be the same. It's almost constant rivalry. Even her boyfriend and my other sister's boyfriend have said she's very clingy. But mum won't hear any of it because she doesn't think my sister is. But if people outside the family can see it I'm pretty sure it's very obvious to the world that she's clingy and I want her to see sense. any ideas? x All replies will be very appreciated.

You're mum raised her to be like this so she's going to carry on.
You have to stand up for yourself on things like the prom dress issue and just say that you want it to be you and your mum only.
After that you have to just leave her to it.
Move out and away and get on with your own life. Being independent is a good thing. Look at all the successful women in the world and ask yourself if they still live next to their mums.
Good Luck!! xx
