Hey, I understand where Pammi is coming from.
I’m very protective of my little brother (have been called out of line by some) and some of my friends make an effort to chat with him on ICQ, hang out with him when they’re over etc.
It started off as me wanting my friends and my brother seperate, them not influencing him. It ended with me being jealous that they’d come over and hang out with him instead of me.
shrugs It’s really not a big deal, but I understand how it’s diconcerting to have different parts of your life come together, especially if you feel like you’re being mildly “replaced” in the process.
