I am 23 and my little sister is 21. She is off from college for the summer and my mom is a teacher so she is too. My little sister has ZERO friends so she and my mom are always together - shopping / lunch etc.... Also my sister is studying to be a teacher too so basically this will never end. I have a 9-5 all year round job so I don't spend nearly as much time with my mom. Not to mention if I am not with my boyfriend I am doing numerous other things with friends etc. I don't think I can say anything, but I am SO JEALOUS. I make plans with my mom when I can but still it's weird.. I mean when I was in college and had summers off I was hanging out with my friends not my mom. ?!

That's good you have a life, but don't let your mom and sisters relationship affect you, just keep spending time with each one, you'll get over it.

Obviously you would rather spend more time with your boyfriend and friends so why are you so jealous of the time your sister spends with your mom? You have made your choices and your sister makes hers. Let it go. You may treasure the time you do spend with your mom even more if you do not see her as often.

Yeah you're right you sound jealous, but there's nothing wrong if your mom and lil sister are close. Probably it's because they have a lot of things in common and click together especially if your lil sis wants to be a teacher too. Also your lil sis since she don't have friends preferred to hang out with your mom who she can trust and she can be herself not pretending to be somebody else.Now, you said that when you were growing up you used to hang out with your friends not with your mom, remember parents are not always the duplicate of their son/daughter and in your case you have a different preference on what you want to do with your life. Just be normal always talk to your mom and lil sister. Don't burn the bridges, family are always there to love and support you. It doesn't matter if you have differences.

i don't think it is weird at all before my mother died we spent alot of time together and when we weren't together we were probably on the phone and did you ever think that your sister may need your mother a little more than you do at this time in her life maybe you should try to hang out with them more often so you don't feel so left out.

i wouldnt be jealous. im 21 my younger (not youngest) sister is 19. I am a musician and my sister is a runner. i have a job and have had jobs in the past. my sister has not. i am the one who is hounded to get jobs while my sister who has never worked a day in her life is not. my mom accepts and respects my sister's goals to be a runner but not my goals of wanting to front my band. yes its not fair but im not jealous. i just hold on to the fact that karma's a ***** and both of them will get it in the end. and no its not normal
