I am so sick of my sister?

Question

I am so sick of my sister - I am 20 and she is 16 this year. When iw as her age, i was working on weekends and after school so i could earn a bit of money and buy things for myself. I started working as soon as i was old enough to get a job! I work full time now, and am saving up to move overseas early next year, but i just cant take it anymore!

She does NOTHING.She doesnt clean up after herself, doesnt help out at all, she asks for money and never pays it back, is rude, is selfish, swears all the time and doesnt care about anyone else except herself, she has a job but never goes to it.She doesnt listen and doesnt feel she needs to do anythign as she intends on living with my parents for as long as possible. Mum complains that she is the only one that does anythign and that no one helps her out - i always help and always offer, yet this brat gets away with everything. If we argue, my parents back her up - i cant handle her attitude - any help or ideas for how i can?

i am moving overseas to live permanently

Answer 1

Save your money like you have planned, and stick to the plan.
Meanwhile distance yourself from her and keep busy.Being busy will help you and also get you toward your goal.
Good luck and stay focused. :-)

Answer 2

Sounds like a typical 16 year old teenage brat. She is the baby in the family so as far as your mom goes she will always get away with anything.

Just remember, you are the lucky one. You are responsible, loyal, devoted, and got your act together. In a couple of months you will be overseas. You say permanently, so just keep things cool. Time goes by so quickly, I am sure you will realize that if you look back a couple of years. Before you know it you will be out, and have her out of your hair.

Eventually she will mature, and you will be the best of friends.

Answer 3

hi just try and stay out of her way, she is 16 after all and not everyone has a maturity level at this age. Hopefully by the time you get back from overseas she may have grown up abit (or alot) and you can get along better. I'm sure your mum appreciates your help and will miss your support when you leave..

Answer 4

Try to ignore her short comings as much as possible. She sounds like a typical youngest child, and being 16 with the hormones starting to race doesn't help either. Next time she asks you for money, simply say no, and mean it. You need to save your money for your overseas trip, and can't afford to go giving it to her. I'm sure you will find that when you are overseas you are going to miss her, and chances are that when you get back, she will have matured into the nice young lady you sound like. Good luck on your trip, have a wonderful time.

Answer 5

it sounds to me that your sister is jealous of you. think about it hear you are all grown up have a good life and is planningto do something with your life. i say she is jealous, because she knows you are leaving and you wont be around, she will miss you. i have the feeling that you guys are close, and that you lve your sister very much. your sister just thinks that she is going to loose you when you leave. she doesnt really know what she will do without you. so you just need to let her know that you will always be there for her, and that you arent really leaving because you will always be in her heart. know as for being a slob, well your on your own on that one, sorry no solutions i can think of. Well GOOD LUCK over seas, and with your little sis. GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Try to love her and be a good example to her. Forgive her for her shortcomings.

She is 16. Chances are rather good that she is going to grow up some time.

You sound like a good person. This resentment of a weaker sibling is beneath you. Forgive her, and be tough with her, but try to help her survive and grow.
