Genuine question.

Do you care how your sibling/s live - their choices, values, relationships, finances, health, politics, whatever?

Do you feel protective? Judgemental? Indifferent? Do you find it hard to detach if you think they’re making mistakes?

Or are you someone who believes “it’s their life, not mine” and really means it?

Just wondering what the general sentiment is, especially among people who are close to their siblings vs those who are more distant or estranged.

I am not close at all to my sister and really don’t care what she does but I hate the impact her choices have on my nephews and my parents.

Suppose it depends on the relationship.
Are not bothered about the relationship with your siblings or annoyed as you feel they should be more involved in your life?
