Thanks for understanding Medusax. I am older by almost four years, which is almost worse. I didn't do so well initially at college and ended up transferring. After transferring, in my first semester I had a 3.7 GPA. I was very happy, but when I told my mom, the first thing she said was, "well your sister got a 4.0." She was still in high school. I got 4.0s various times in high school.

I live in another country these days. A while back, we had a major earthquake. When I managed to contact my mother, one of the first things she said was to ask my sister for earthquake advice. What was that all about? Why wasn't she more concerned about my well-being? My sister does live in a place that has earthquakes but had never been through anything nearly as strong as that. What type of advice was she supposed to give me? She just has to bring my sister into everything.
