You can do the same for younger siblings who may sometimes struggle with school, friendship, love, career and life in general. I have two and they both want to be engineers. One of them is very similar in character to me - and I'm already experiencing deja vus with her. I'm not replacing our mom, mom is the real deal, simultaneously fierce and loving. But there will be some things that they'll hesitate to tell her. So the best I can do is build enough trust so that I can be their soundboard if they need one, and a 'sifu master' if they need advice - with my history of failures it's unlikely that I'll be role model but hey, at least I know where the holes are and what to do if you do fall in. I'm investing in those brats so they better become engineers ;)
