Is mixing the two a good idea? I have a sister who I love dear, but I have a precarious relationship (from my point of view) and I have suggested her coming out with me to some nights out in the past, as she is a mum of kids and doesn't get the chance to escape the household as much as I do.

I am aware only I know the answer to this question, I am just wondering if the result of introducing your own friends to your OLDER sibling is a good idea? She's a lovely girl but I don't like the idea of her embarrassing me in front of my friends?

I am not sure if I have answered my own question or not but second opinions would be appreciated.

My mum comes out clubbing with me sometimes, she's never embarrassed me, it's probably the other way around tbh..

But yeah your sister may surprise you 😄 x

There is no reason why you should like people who are related to you. The ultimate test is: if you met this person on holiday would you be happy to exchange phone numbers?

THINK ABOUT IT! We choose our friends. We have no choice about our relatives.
Obviously everybody would like to be close to their relatives, but we don't live in an ideal world and sometimes a lot of time, energy, and emotions are expanded - and wasted - chasing the ideal.

Far more taxing is the question of friends meeting friends. We assume that if we like each other then, by extension, we will like each other's friends. Mostly it's true, but not always. That's quite a tricky course to navigate.

I think it depends on the relationship you have with your sister. I have a younger brother (of three years difference) but he's in my social circle, and when a group of us go out, whether it's the cinema, a restaurant, or a night on the town, my brother is just as much a part of the group as any of our mutual friends are.

It sounds like the kind of dilemma you have when you're 12.
