My sister is 22 and she still acts like a teenager. I am her younger sister of 5 yearsand she is still living at home and taking my things, even my tip money I earn at my job. Ive told her numerous of times to leave them alone and told her how much it upsets me that she takes my things and never gives them back or damages them but it doesnt seem to phase her? How can I make her grow up?

My sister did the same thing, although she was 5 years younger than me, and I eventually had to change the doorknob on my room to one that locked from the inside, so she couldn't get in. My parents had a fit, so I gave them one of the keys and that was the end of it.

I like the answer of changing the door knob to one that locks. However if you share a room that won't work. I am much older than you but find that when I have a problem with one of my siblings (2 sisters, 2 brothers) I talk it over with my parents. My mom had to settle a disagreement not long ago. lol And as a mother of 5 kids myself (ages 4-19) I'd want to be aware of anything that bothers or upsets any of my kids. I will be their mother til the day that I die. I have NEVER let one of my kids aggrevate the other. I get involved and help solve their issues with one another. This keeps peace in our home. Good luck!

you can't make her grow up. she won't take kindly to her younger sister telling her what to do. you already know that she doesn't respect you. your mom and dad need to know whats happening, and if they already do, then they need to take it seriously. obviously, she's able to get away with it and will continue to do so until someone of authority steps in and puts their foot down. keep on your parents and make them see what she's doing and that it is a big deal to you. best of luck.

You cant make her grow up. But you should tell your parents what she is doing ...have them speak with her and make sure they understand how you feel about this.
