over protective Bros

as a brother.. it is my responsiblity to look after my sis in all respects… does that mean to montior all her moves… personallly i care less wut she does… shes a grown gal now… and knws wuts best for her. but if she needs help i try to be there for her. to all the bros out there… how do u act around ur sis… when lets say shes out in public? also is this typical of just desi families or does it happen all around the world?

keep the doors of communication open, in that way u can check up on her when she needs something/ correct her where shes going wrong

just dont crowd her

well i think the way u r acting with her is quite okay nykhansahib...no need to act too protective...but u should make her feel like if she ever does need u for protection u'll be there for her :) like don't be over protective but don't be too chill too...u get me na? :) just keep a good balance but respect her and trust her enough to let her make the decisions of her life...

good luck.. :)

and that's hecka sweet that u r even thinking about this..means u r already a good brother :)

guys cant help but be protective of their sisters regardless of whether they r younger or older than them...

yeah being protective is fine.. but havin over protective brothers gets So irritating at times :-(

:)

Like someone already said, just the fact that you are thinking about this, prooves you are already being a good brother. Maybe you could talk to her once, at a quite time and discuss this topic, how she feels with your behaviour towards her and if you are truly not being overprotective, but she would have said something by now, if this would have been the case.

I don't think this is just desi bro's, it's everywhere. You see it in every culture more or less.

My brother was hell a lot of protective about me, but I gave him a couple of doses that I can walk around by myself, with in weeks, things changed…he stopped bothering much…he still does care, A LOT! he is a totally different case though, he worries about every little thing. Whether its associated to him or not.
I guess, in every relationship no one should try to tie up people with them… as being older their might be something they don’t know already but with some experience they’ll figure it out pretty soon…and like everyone is suggesting , communication is very important :~)

PS: what aren’t Gupshup’s big bros sharing their part? :rolleyes:

I realized that everyone has to live their life after going through a few ordeals regardless of them being related to you. Their actions maybe decisions for you but hey you gotta mould and get out of it yourself. As a brother, I've left things pretty much the way they are observing from a distance giving hints of advice when asked. Otherwise, its best that the youngins learn on their own through their own mistakes. I can't and won't protect them.

What about over protective sisters ?
Like I'm the youngest in the family, rest are elder sisters. Though they're married but they're all imposing things on me. Har ek ka wakhra style :D

I'm raising my voice for 'MardoooN key Haqoooq' :D

Well honestly i dont need to take care of my sister. She is one smart girl and more grounded in reality than i am. I do the crazy stuff in the family. She usually has to bail me out.

But i am protective and she knows that. That is why she usually comes to with her problems when she really has to. Before that it is my mom or my dad, the way it should be. My usual upfront reaction is: You upset? Who upset you? Ok he or she is gonna get their face punched in.

You should be there for her, but dont run her life. Give her advice not options of decisions. Plus only when she asks or when she needs it. She needs to live her own life you are there to help her and try to protect her as much as possible without suffocating her.

me and my sister dont get along great at the moment and i dont like her a whole lot right now but I know she loves me. hehe shes overprotective of me. of course shes 12 years older than me. how old r u and your sister? Being overprotective by it's very meaning has bad connotations.

I've always desperately wanted an older brother. I see their roles as a friend, mentor, a guide and to bail you out of sh!t. And an occasional payment via migraine.
I'm sure it's worth the price.

Oh well i just love the way desi brothers cares for sisters :k: that 's so sweet !

I wish I had an elder brother or an elder sister :(

my brothers younger than me two years but we're really close, we talk abt almost everything and ive had to bail him out of trouble a couple of times but most of the time he takes care of it,

he is quite mature for his age which im thankful for

Re: over protective Bros

I think that is sweet actually. I wish my bro was like that as well. He is almost 3 years younger than me but with me and to a lesser degree with my younger sisters, he is not that compasionate. He is more or less aloof. I wish there were more male siblings like you but please take care not to be too overprotective. You don’t want to suffocate your sibling with all that micro-attention either.

:flower1:

Over protectiiveness....... i dont think its some thingg bad....may b because i dont have any bor and sis... i think its kinda good way of showing g ur feelin towards ur sis :) iie if she doesnt mind but its ur job 2 b protective any way.....i think

that’s reallie shweet nysahib! :slight_smile:
sighz i wish my brothers were like that :teary1:
but i guess im a lil protective about my siblings…like if they go somewhere i’m the only one in this family who will ask them where they are going or where they are coming from (not that they answer me right :rolleyes: but still i asked them, no? :))
