Hey! I'd like to request a web on loving your siblings but still hating them in a real way; a kind of destesting outside the usual love/hate relationship.

hi! i'm not sure if you already did this, but could you do a web weaving about the eldest daughter/ child (as a parental figure, taking care of younger siblings, etc.), but it doesn't have to be specifically about those things. thanks :)
