My little sister is almost 12 years old, and she will be starting 6th grade this fall. She is crying and whining over everything. She is complaining about being sooo worried about starting middle school. I think she is full of crap, and just using that excuse to get what she want. She is also sleeping on my parents floor at night, and says she can't sleep. (My mom can't even get out of bed at night because she is so close to the side of the bed.) They just give into everything that she wants. She is also lying about things to try to get me in trouble, which overall doesn't bother me because I am 22 and my parents realize that she is not being truthful. The part that bothers me is that they don't do anything about her lying and they act like nothing is wrong. Should I say something or should I just leave it. If I should say something, how do I say it without overstepping my bounds. It is just soo annoying to watch this day after day.

I don't live at home, but I do spend time at their house. We live about a mile from each other and my daughter and I visit regularily. I am not saying she shouldn't be nervous about school, but she crys almost every day about it, and litterally is up until 2-3 am bugging my parents about it. Does this help clarify?

Just tough it out until she gets to middle school. Things will change then.
One thing that could help drastically: move the **** out of your parents house for christs sake! You're 22!

First of all, you're 22. Your sister still has a while left under your parents roof while you technically should have been gone by now. Your sister is 12! She's an adolescent. Her horomones are going crazy, and all of the actions you've described are completely typical and normal of someone her age starting middle school. If you don't like it, move out. Don't tell your parents how to parent. They've got experience and realize things that you don't.

Sounds like littler sister is going through puberty already, or starting to. That would explain some of the irrational and moody behavior she's having.
If you really feel this strongly about things, by all means..talk to your parents. Sit them both down while little sis is away doing something and tell them how you feel. Simply ask them if there's a reason they are letting her get away with these things.
It could be that they realize she may be going through puberty, and it could also be that maybe sis is truely insecure. Perhaps they think that by ignoring the lies that she'll finally give up and quit.
You really don't know until you talk to your parents.

appears like your son has a weigh down for the 1st time. Supervise their time together, and help him whilst the girl comes to a decision to pass directly to a distinctive guy (which, at that age, probable occurs a lot swifter than maximum). he's gaining expertise of roughly existence in a clean thank you to him. He has a GF. beautiful, rather. whilst he starts to ask the rather not hardship-free questions, be waiting for him. do not enable him discover out those issues the not hardship-free way, for confident. instruction manual him is the superb factor i'm able to think of of. good luck!

Well, are you still in the house? If you are, move out. If you're not, then let Mom and Dad deal with it. Granted, she just may BE afraid of starting 6th grade. My 11 year old girl certainly was.

try lovingly first..but from what i read in your message..i dont think that will work! maybe she is just really scared of starting middle school..... i think you should'nt try to be her big sister ...try to be a friend ..maybe tell her some stories when you started middle school. Tell her some "gurly" or "naughty" stuff that you did when you were her age and then only try to ask her WHAT THE PROBLEM IS"! till then don't try to bring in the "parents"..i mean she is only 12! so i think you should play the friend role here! :)

It sounds like she is very hormonal right now, I think that every girl acts like that. Plus she is the baby of the family right? I would ask your parents very nicely/calm why they are putting up with this. I hope that things get better for you.

SAY SOMETHING, sounds to me like your parents are giving in to their child too much. it doesn't matter how you say it just say it. If your 22 why the h*** are you still living with your parents?

my sister lies ALOT too...so I know what you feel like......you should just move out if she annoys you so much....Luckily...youre at the age to where you can move out......If you really want to say something.....dont say it to the parents, say it to her....she is the one who is lying, not your parents...tell her how you feel. and if she wont listen, then talk to your parents....Good luck and God bless!
