What does the narrator mean when she says, “Until then I am a red balloon, a balloon tied to an anchor?
She is saying that she, unlike her brothers, has a lot of responsibilities. She is not as free and independent as Carlos and Kiki, at least until Nenny is old enough to be mature.
She believes that she is made of rubber and can be filled with helium and float into the sky.
Here, she is implying that her parents hate her because she is a girl and they won’t let her do anything like Carlos and Kiki.
