Dear Jerry,
Little brother and sisters can be annoying.
Here is some advice that may help you.
First, talk to your moter about your feelings
so that she understands how upset you are. Do
this at a time when you are not angry with
your little sister because you will make more
sense when you speak.
Next, ask your little sister nicely to share
TV with you. She may cooperate as a result of
your polite behavior. However, if she doesn’t
want to talk with you, don’t be angry. There
would be no point arguing with her. Instead,
just walk away.
Finally, instead of having your friends
coming to your house, go to their place. I hope
this advivce improves your life with your little
sister.
Good luck
