I have to share a room ANNOING sister (6 yr.). I asked my mom if I can move into the spare room, and she said I could but I have to be nice to my sister for a year. I was fine with that but the problom is 1 year is WAY too long and how can I be nice to her for a whole year and not fight once. Any tips on how to survive the next 365 days, and do you this is fair?
My other problom is: My parents never treat me bad, but on my birthday they both slaped me on the cheek because they thought I called them stupid and they slaped me again because I didn't want to eat cornbread with my dinner (they did this on our vacation in Vegas). Do you think this is fair and do you think I should have another birthday party (it's coming up soon, I am going to be 14) and go to Vegas again?

Parents like it when their kids try to negotiate, especially when it concerns responsibility.
They need to understand that you are at an age where you need privacy and I know a year is a lifetime at your age.
Try explaining to them that after you move, it will be much easier to get along with your sister. Suggest a trial period.

A year is not too long to wait . Remember your sister is only six. AS for not eating your cornbread I would be stern about it but notslap my daughter, Maybe you were being pechulantand they were angry . As for your birthday party weigh up the pros and cons. Do you want a room for yourself? Work towards that instead of requesting another party. IFthey see you taking responsibility then they might be happier about you having a room to yourself. Be nice and let your sister have a big party.

One year isn't that long to be nice to your sister. Just remember that she is much younger and doesn't always realize that what she is doing is irritating you. Just ask her nicely to stop doing whatever she is doing and if she doesn't, leave the area so you won't fight with her. If she is bothering you on purpose, ignore her and eventually she'll get bored if you don't respond and she'll find something else to do.
As for the second, go somewhere instead of Vegas. Why would you want to go to the same place two years in a row?

That is a long time for you to be nice to your sister, but remember...sister's will get on your nerves at times. Try to be thankful for having a sister and not be so tough on her at times. My sisters were mean to me growing up and all I wanted to do was be like and with them. I looked up to my sisters and felt like they hated me growing up. They are 6&7 years older than me and I know that I was a pain, but I just wanted to be like them. I know that it is tough, but your sister looks up to you.
If you need to be nice to her for 365 days, then try to avoid any conflict with her. If that means not being around her, then stay in your new room and shut your door.
As for slapping you for saying stupid, well I can't disagree with that. You say that you did not say it, but unfortunately they think that you did. As for slapping you for not eating your corn bread, well that is a different story. I do not agree with that and nor would I do that to my children, but that is the way that I am with my kids. Now if you got an attitude about not eating it, then I can see THEM doing it...that is if that is the way that they discipline you. I personally would not do that, but that is me. I hope that things work out for you and good luck with the new room!!

Why are your parents slapping you at ALL? That's called abuse honey. It's no wonder you can't keep your rage in because obviously your parents can't.
Talk to your school counselor he/she will help.
