I have a friend who has a younger sister who is 25 years of age. She can be nice when she wants to but, when she gets her period it set her off she start cussing and yelling at you for a long time. The younger sister lives with her mother, father, and older sister. She usually starts having meltdowns when she has her period. That is what I have been told. Also, I cannot really avoid her at times, because I like the older friend who is my sister and neither of us drive. The mother drives us to go over to their house because we are taking a dance class so, we have to study there place and sometimes watch tv.
My house is not good because there is usually a three year old child there and a twelve year old who usually have friends over they are noisy. Sometimes she goes with us to the movies I do not know when she goes. Because the family does not tell me. Also she works the grave yard shifts. She refuses to take meds for her PMS. I'm getting annoyed by her. Is this unacceptable?

Your friends sister really needs to be taking her meds for her PMS problem. She is not the only one whose hormones go on overdrive when she starts her period, it is a true medical problem and she needs to go and see an OBGYN and get on some serious medication. I can't believe that the family just sits by and allows her to do this to them monthly. You are right to be annoyed because she is ruining every-ones life because of her problem. Yes, it is unacceptable because there is help out there for her problem and she is just being stupid by not wanting that help which not only would make her a more civil and happier person to be around but would make it so much easier to live with her. She needs to get some help.

Is what acceptable? Her behavior or your annoyance at her behavior?
She's 25, no one can force her to take meds she doesn't want to take. Some women have a very hard time with PMS, some women have what's known as PMDD (premenstrual disphoric disorder) which is a more severe case of PMS. As to if her behavior is acceptable, obviously it isn't to you but apparently it is to her if she chooses to not take anything for it.
Now, you being annoyed with her behavior is understandable. However when you choose to be friends with someone you have to take the good with the bad and it would seem that your friend has something bad tagged to her: a sister you don't like. Have you tried telling your friend that you don't wish to be around the sister when you guys go out somewhere? Ask her to not invite you when the sister is going. Otherwise, it looks like you may be stuck.

Yes, it's unacceptable. I had to live with it for years. My wife's sister has it even worse. It's totally unacceptable. Imagine having a hissy fit like this at work... you'd be fired on the spot. If they can keep a job w/o exploding, then they ought to be able to control it at home. My wife used to tell me that she didn't fire on people at work because she wasn't close to them. Yet it was ok to unload on me and the kids. Go figure. Thank God, I don't have to deal with that anymore.... Hope this helps.... 'nuff said?
Oh, this just occurred to me. If you really confront them vigorously for long enough, you can get them to cry. Once the crying is through... they're fine, for a few hours.
Another thought... When my sis-in-law was physically fit (slim and trim) and eating healthy, her PMS was hardly noticeable. Food for thought.

It is totally unacceptable. There are many meds she can take to hepl her. If she refuses then she should avoid others at that time.

PMS is never an excuse. If it really is that bad then she needs to be on the pill or something to relieve the symptoms.
If she starts bitching at you, tell her to F off, and you don't have to put up with her ****.,

It's all in the eye of the beholder. Do you think it's unacceptable? Obviuosly. What do you expect? She is a woman.
