WAAAA!!!!! I'm in

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

WAAAA!!!!! I'm in

WAAAA!!!!! I'm in the DEPTHS OF DESPAIR!!!!

FEED me-Emma D., my sister, is now taking over the Cricket Chatterbox! I was so lucky to be on it myself for SO LONG, and NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Joe Dosie Doe, I hope, knows the feeling. Ivy... not so much. You should know that we have a pertty competitive relationship aaand... it's not too good. Hmph. I wanted it to be a special thing I could do, but of course not. Because when you have siblings, you have to share everything. 

At least she's starting her own world domination team (we'll see how that goes) and not on mine. At least Red is at least still my special friend, I've warned her..... >:( And she's trying to steal my friends!!!

Help me, friends... whatever shall my broken heart do??????!!!!!!!

How did you know that I'm an only child?

I would say to try talking to her and telling her how you feel, but from the way that you described your relationship, it doen't sound like that would work. Since you can't really tell her not to come on here, maybe just try and continue like you did before. It may be hard at first, but over time, you will probably get used to it. Maybe it will even be kind of fun, like True said.

I may not have any siblings, but I can understand how hard it must be to have to share everything. Especially because you two seem to be fairly close in age(11 and 13), you probably get put together as a unit alot.

Also, don't worry about her stealing your friends. That is one thing that you are going to have to share, but being friends with your sister isn't going to change us being friends with you.

I don't know if any of this helps, but sister or no sister, I'll always be your friend :)

Yes, I know we get put in the same "age group" all the time. Luckily most of the friends I have in real life she doesn't like and they don't like her...

I know how it feels to have something special to yourself and then have siblings come in and ruin the specialness. Often siblings look up to their older sibling (even if they don't know it), they want to share in what the sibling likes to do to try to be like them.

That probably won't help, but I just wanted to throw out that point. 

Anyways, I also understand how you feel.

Don't worry, we will always be your friend. It is your personality and who you are that keeps us friends. We are all friends on chatterbox and it won't change because your sister comes. You can still be yourself here.

While true that siblings often share, it doesn't mean that it is a bad thing. Sharing can sometimes be more fun than being alone, but it is nice to sometimes have something to yourself for it is like a treasure. With Emma being on the chatterbox, new opinions, ideas, and personalities can come in.

If none of this helps, you can always pretend that she is someone else from another city. Just treat her the same way you treat your fellow chatterboxers.

Hope this helps!

I would say don't let it get on your nerves.  That's terrible advice, but my half-sister is 30, and I've only known her for eight years, so I'm not good to ask.

This is supposed to be a game. Don't take it seriously.

I was alone on here for about half a year before Butterfly came on. It was fun to be alone, but it was much better to have her there, too.

Look on the bright side--now you can talk about the CBers in public without looking delusional.:)

Are you implying that I took over the Chatterbox from JDD?

Uh...hm. You'll have to consult Joe Dosie Doe, I'm really..hehe.. not the best judge.

Wait, who was on here first, Daffodil or JDD?

I think both JDD and Daffodil came here around the same time, but I'm not 100% sure.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that Daffodil posted here first.

I'm pretty sure Daffodil posted here first, under a different name.  Right?
