This past January, I lost my mother very suddenly and unexpectedly. I'm 20 and have a 10 year old sister, who lives with my dad and my younger brother, in the next town over. So basically, I've been trying to take on the "mom" role for my sister. Since she's starting to get to that age where changes are going to be happening, I've been wondering what age I should have her start doing things, like shaving or wearing make up...anything like that. I really can't base it on myself, because I've always been really independent and tried doing "big girl things" before I probably should have. I don't want to baby her, but then again I don't want her to have to grow up any faster than she's already been forced to. Any help would be much appreciated.View Thread
