I am 19 years old, i'm going to be a junior in college next year and my sister is 16 and is going to be a junior in high school. She is so spoiled! Since my parents are well off when it comes to money, they don't care if she spends a lot. They let her shop at Abercrombie all the time with their money. They let her talk them into letting her buy or do whatever she wants. She makes friends with everyone and buys her friends gifts with my parents money. I told my dad to give her a fixed amount of money per week and let her do anything she wants with that money but he said no because he thinks there shouldn't be "separation of money" between parents and their kids.
What should I do!!! I rarely spend my parents money on my wants. I spend my own money on clothes, other things that I don't need. And my parents are being pushed over by my sister and they let her do what she wants and she doesn't even help much in the house. HELP!!! I wanna show her that money is not free.

Thats not your job. Even if you dont like it its your parents money and if they want to spoil her thats their choice. I cant tell if its cuz youre jealous and they dont do the same for you or you just want to teach her a lesson. You need to chill out.

Don't even worry about it. It's your parents making the mistake, not you. I'm glad you got out with a level head. Trust me, your sister will figure it out one day, probably the hard way, I'm sure. Until then, just let the spoiled brat do whatever she wants and be glad she isn't your kid.

This is not your issue, its between your folks and your sister. Its not up to you to parent her so back off. Sounds like you are jealous that she does what she wants and you are considerate but resentful. This is typical oldest child/youngest child behavior. Live your life and stop getting involved in things that aren't your business.

It is important that you respect your parents decision in raising their daughter. Your sister is young and is only behaving like a teenager. However, it will not be long before she will seek your advice as she becomes an independent adult. Trust your parents to raise their daughter (your sister) as they see fit. It is obvious that they did not do a bad job with you... and they wont with her either.
