Right. You could throw it in her face and talk about how very old she is all the time and refer to her with the respect you would someone who is seventy.

Age is just time passing. Living is what gives you experience. To give advice is easy. To understand and give advice that matters is the result of knowledge, experience, and reflection. Just because you know something or have lived through something, it doesn't automatically follow that you've thought about it.
Some people start to acquire wisdom early in life, others later, and some never.
I'd suggest that you smile, thank your sister for her advice and then make up your own mind. It could be that she just loves and cares for you, it could be she thinks she knows best, or both.

Thanks for your comment. You are right about age being only a number and giving advises are easier than living by it. I respect her opinion to tell me that I can't tell her what to do, however, it's just that I don't agree that just because she is older by 2 years is the reason to that, and she is required to tell me what to do in life with the same logic.

Some people can be a lot smarter/intelligent for their age compared with other people who are (much) older than them. I think it all depends on our own experiences. Some people can learn more lifelessons in a shorter lifetime than others, and I think that's where the differences are.

Age doesn't equal wisdom, people learn differently, but as for your relationship with ur sister, I'd say "butt out" she's of age and can make her own decisions... Respect her for that, she may surprise you... If we all danced the same to the beat of a drum, how boring life would be. ;) hope this helps Rocker

You see the fact that you don't see how your actions aren't welcome by your sister, that's the whole problem... I can't believe you don't understand that ????

@TxRocker: I see that clearly, that's why I stopped talking about it and changed the subject when we talk. I am aware that she doesn't want me tell her what to do. But IMO, her reason is because I am younger than her is a bit not fair . I would accept it if she told me that it's her life to live. When she tells me what to do and I don't agree with her, she will get upset about it and will bring up her being older that's why she knows best. Although I didnt say it in the question, my issue is I'm 2 years young to "tell"/advise
her what to do, and she is 2 years older than me "tell" me what to do, which to me is unfair. But im asking people in general if people thinks age matters in giving life advises. Plus, couldn't find a right catalogue so I just chose "seeking advise".

Sweetie, this dynamic between you and her was set up many years ago, you will quit getting treated like little sis when you stop giving her the power to look down on you. Quit seeking her approval you will never get it. Start being and doing your own thing, and quit asking for approval, it's your life just go live it...
