maybe she just wants to spend time with you, be around you... chaos and all?

Chaos is a moving definition, depending on the size of one's family roots.
We should know..there are 5 of us siblings ( used to be 6. we lost 1 sister which maybe highlights sibling appreciation even more now..maybe). So we know something about growing up in chaos! Except she is the baby family member and I'm the eldest. I am the one that really remembers younger siblings howling and fighting away.

She might also want you to spend some time with her children, and for them to get to know you a bit.

This, and she may also be wanting a little adult conversation that doesn't center around business or some other boring purpose. There are times that this is hard to come by.

What's chaos to you may not be chaos to her. I think you are over analyzing this. It's your sister; she wants you to stay with her.

I agree. Why overthink it? It's a nice gesture. Even if you feel that in her shoes you wouldn't be able to handle additional "chaos", to her it might feel like a good way to spend time with you. Originally Posted by Crankin
