First of all, thank you so much, Like Likro – I really love your stories. I have an important question: Every morning I have to take my two little sisters to kindergarten, because my parents leave early for work and can't take them. It's really hard for me. I'm often late, and I can't walk with my friends because they don't have the patience to go slowly with two little kids. I complain to my mom a lot, and it makes her really sad. What can I do to make this easier?

Dear reader,

That really is annoying and frustrating. But try to focus on the good! Some kids don’t take their siblings to kindergarten, but they babysit them at home or at the park. Some have no younger siblings at all. So try to look at what you have, not what you don’t have.

Wishing you lots of good things, and I hope I helped!

I have two little brothers too, and I often take them to kindergarten. My nine-year-old brother takes them sometimes too. My little brothers are the sweetest kids ever, and I’m happy to take them. I don’t think it has to be such a big deal.

My sister is in first grade, and she walks to school with me every day. It’s really not easy, because she walks slowly, so I have to leave earlier. But I think it’s made us much closer as sisters. I have time to hear her stories about her teachers and friends, and she hears mine. I think these morning walks with my little sister are worth much more than walking with friends – you see them all morning anyway! Try chatting with your sisters on the way and getting closer to them.

Good luck – I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you!

I have little siblings too. It’s hard to watch them and take care of them, but I don’t complain to my mom, because I don’t want to make her sad – and because I know there’s no other choice right now.

I wish I had little siblings!!! You should be so thankful that you have little sisters to take to kindergarten. That’s my dream!

Dear reader,

What you’re doing is a really big help to your family and a great way to show respect for your parents. It isn’t easy to take little kids to kindergarten, especially every single day. But I think you shouldn’t complain to your mom, since you said it makes her sad. If she feels bad for you, it means she has no other way to manage right now, so complaining won’t change things anyway. Maybe you could ask her calmly if there’s anything that would make mornings easier, like getting ready the night before.

Keep it up – well done!
