About me

There are 5 things to know about me: I am nurturing and I speak from the heart, but I am also honest, realistic, and blunt when I need to be. Part of that honesty is telling you the reason I created this website. Was it a class assignment? Yes. But this concept is all me. I am a big sister who never got to do the big sister thing. Sure, I am the only one that makes plans, I am the only one to think deeply about Christmas and birthday presents for my parents, and I am the one my siblings can come to for advice. But do they? Nope. My brother and sister are both very independent people, and in more ways than one, they have had more life experiences than me and are generally cooler than I am. So why should you listen to me if I just told you I don't have that many life experiences and I'm not that cool? Well, I don't know why. That's for you to decide. All I can say is that I have stories to tell, I have advice to give, and I can be a voice of reason for you to figure out your problems with. And if that sounds like someone you want advice from, this website is for you. I really hope you like it.

Hi there, I'm Jacqueline Forest-Chomyn. I technically have 4 siblings, 2 brothers and 2 sisters. But, only one biological sibling, and I grew up with one of my sisters so I don't see her as a step-sibling. So I have a lot of different sibling relationships to sum it up. In all cases, I am the oldest. 2 years, 2 months and 12 days of bliss, peace and quiet, then my brother came along. The day he was born was the day I became a big sister, and I took my role very seriously. I would tell him what to do, take control of the tv remote, and play fight a little too hard and beg him not to tell our parents. Then, 8 years later, we got a sister, a step-sister, but still. I got a sister! She was the perfect sister too. A girl I could relate to, and the same age as my brother so they could grow up side by side. Together we were a force to be reckoned with. We played in imaginary worlds where we created countries, owned our own businesses and put on the most entertaining fashion and talent shows. Now, we're all grown up. She's off at university and he and I are so busy, we all barely get to see each other or catch up. That means I have a lot of advice to give and no one to give it to.

"What are sisters for if not to point out the things the rest of the world is too polite to mention."
