would it be cruel to...

tease my older dd by telling her she's jealous of my younger dd?

back in April my younger dd (then in 8th grade) broke her foot while at lacrosse practice. she had to wear a cast and use crutches for a few weeks.

yesterday my older dd was at cheerleading practice and "landed wrong". at first she didn't think she hurt herself, but she woke up in the middle of the night because her ankle was swollen and painful. no, it's not broken, but she's got to wear a "boot" and use crutches for at least a week.

YES

Don't do it.

Thats something we would say (joking, of course) to someone in our family!

 

[ChrizJen]

That's something that my family would have done in a heartbeat..but we were just like that. We all teased each other and poked fun whenever we got a chance...

If your older dd is a really sensitive kid, then I would say no. But if your family regularly jokes around like that, then I would...lol

I wouldn't do it, but you know your family members and how they would react better than any of us.

Personally, I found that funny. That is the exact kind of thing someone in our family would say. We tease each other a lot though, so we have thicker skin about that. We always love a good joke. If you are anything like us, go for it!

What she said

 

[Brianne]

I'd probably say it because that's how we joke around here. The kids know we're only teasing!

It's always a good idea to make fun of an injury.

 

[Hannathy]

One word Yes, so go ahead and do it. Younger sisters live for the chance to get back at older sisters! It is your responsibility to all the other younger sisters in the world to do it.

Personally, I make it a rule not to raise the ire of people who wield crutches.
