*_______* help i really really really like sibster (and sib) hmmmmm maybe i should talk to my sisters about this… when i get home…
they don’t really have any good alternatives for daughter/son but i think i’m just gonna get my parents to call me their ‘oldest’ when they talk about me to other people? like they already say “my oldest _______” to differentiate me from my sisters so it isn’t a big jump to just have them drop the last word and i think that it’s a change they’d be able to adjust to easily
I DON’T KNOW
I WANT TO BE SOMEONE’S JENDERFRIEND!!! this whole post is wonderful.
