Should I be worried for my younger sister??

I came on here to ask mothers since I think you have the most experience concerning child development. (Im 17 and worried for my baby sister)
My younger sister (shes about 5) talks to me and my parents about another mother and father she "has" and sisters. While this is perfectly untrue she still never misses an opportunity to tell us about them and that she asks them for things and such which is honestly weird and i have never heard of it. Its also weird because all of us are very involved in her development and were all present so she has real parental and fraternal figures in her life.Should I be concerned for her or is it just like imaginary friends?

Sounds fine to me. She will probably outgrow it. Is anyone else in your family worried by this?

Sounds like a normal part of development: if you want to freak yourself out, watch the boy from barra on youtube. The boy who lived before.

Totally normal IME my daughter also 5 has told me numerous times about her other mummy and her sister who got killed by being run over by a horse. She's not mentioned anything for ages now so I think she's grown out of it but from learning to talk it was a regular theme.

@theorangecounty Not too much but it frustrates my mother a little sometimes.
