MormonGirl28 Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi I am 17 years old and I am the Laurel president in my ward, there are only about 10-12 girls that are active and they are all very sweet and we get along just fine. But there is this little problem, I want to be friends with one of the girls there, she just turned 16, she has two others sisters 12, and 15. When I say friends I mean to invite to the movies, sleep overs and to just hang out. My mom says that it would be rude if I just invite one sister and that I would be hurting the other 2 sisters feelings. Is it okay if I just invite one of them over, or am I being insensitive to the other 2?Mormongirl:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbybug Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 i don't think it would be rude. she's more your age than the others. maybe if she was 17 and her sister was 16, but i think you'd be fine in inviting just the one sister.

checkerboy Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi I am 17 years old and I am the Laurel president in my ward, there are only about 10-12 girls that are active Sorry but I just gotta laugh when you say ONLY 10-12 girls are active. You gotta be in Utah right? We would kill for that number of active YW in my ward. Oh and I agree with Lby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john doe Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Not every ward in Utah has tons of kids. I live in the Salt Lake Valley and my son will be the deacon's quorum president right after he gets the priesthood next week. He will be the only deacon in the ward for 6 months. I grew up with more kids in the ward when I lived in Idaho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimuk Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Hi MormonGirl. Just like to say, everyone is allowed to have their own friends, and yes i can see where your mum is coming from, but the other girls probably have their own friends anyway.

checkerboy Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 Ahhh Southern Cali..... How I miss thee so.... I grew up in San Diego and we did have a pretty good population of YM/YW. Those were the days. We even had superactivities!!! I remember one we went for a whole week to Catalina. That was awesome let me tell you.

BenRaines Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 No I don't believe it would be rude. Laurels should be able to hang out with each other without 10 and 12 yr olds around. What if she had sisters that were 8 and 6 too. Ben Raines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissar Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 I agree. When my 10 year old has a friend over I do not make him invite his friends 5 year old brother and 7 year old sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 i don't think it would be rude. she's more your age than the others. maybe if she was 17 and her sister was 16, but i think you'd be fine in inviting just the one sister. I agree with Lby, especially since you are both in Laurels class together, it's natural that you two would have the chance to get to know each other better than the others. Never stop worrying about the feelings of others, especially fellow young women, but know that it doesn't mean that spending time with one friend is excluding the others. If you were throwing a party and left some out, it might be a different story, but I don't believe you have an obligation to invite her sisters. Sorry but I just gotta laugh when you say ONLY 10-12 girls are active. You gotta be in Utah right? We would kill for that number of active YW in my ward. Oh and I agree with Lby. Hey Utah Hater - Our ward here in NSL has one young woman. She comes to RS for the opening exercises, leads the RS in the young women's theme and then goes to class with her 2 or 3 YW leaders. My hometown ward in Cali had a better YW activity rate than any Utah ward I've lived in. Maybe your Idaho ward is more like Utah wards than you'd like to think!

Gwen Posted October 4, 2008 Report Share Posted October 4, 2008 i don't think it's rude as long as you include them in other group activities. we all need some time away from our sisters too. my sis is 18 months older than me and after awhile it became hard always having the same friends. we needed some time apart occasionally. you could always grab a couple of fun guys and call it a group date....then the others couldn't come. not old enough to date.
