argument with sister, who was at fault??

Question

my younger sister and i always have to pick up the "poo" from the back garden because we have 3 dogs so as you can imagine there is a lot of it!! my younger sister is on holidays and she never done it before she left for her holidays(or the two weeks before hand) and today my older sister asked me to do it, shes the kind of person who loves to get her own way and doesnt like to hear no, especially from me because i always say yes (im way too much of a people pleaser) and she takes advantage of that. i said no because i dont see why i should do it when its not my turn and not only that but it hasnt been done in like a month because of my younger sister ( i know it sounds really petty but anyway), if the poo was picked up before she went away i would have had no problem doing it because there wouldnt have been as much and it wouldnt have smelled as much.
anyway, when i said no my sister was a little stunned and asked me again, to which i said no and she rambled on about how i can be

so nice one minute and so petty the next which i find really offensive because i always try to be really really nice to everyone!!!!! she slammed the door and when my dad came home she continued her rant to which he took no interest!!!

know it sounds really petty and like its no big deal but its a big thing in my hose cause the smell is terrible but i really dont see why i shoud HAVE to do it, i know it would have ben nice of me to do it but i hate doing it at the bnest of times so i dont see why i shoud do it when i dont have to!!!!

who do you think is right??

i know if sai this a million times but i know it sounds really petty and it was but who do you think handled themselves better?

just for the record my older sister is 24, im 17 and my "younger sister" is also 17 (twins)

Answer 1

She actually should have done it. And just because you want to stand up for yourself and say 'no', she gets an additude? Exactly what a spoiled little girl would do, if you ask me.

Answer 2

I think it's just something that every brother/sister go through. If I had a dollar every time my brothers and I had a squabble I would be one rich lady. Don't sweat the small stuff. If the smell bothers you pick up the poo and let it known to her that you do your chores when you are supposed to and so should she and that's the last time you are covering for her. Take the high road.

Answer 3

I think your father should have made the pair of you clear it up!! The pair of you were at fault for creating an argument out it. When your younger sister comes back from her holidays, I suggest that you make her clear it up for two weeks!!
I know the feeling, even though there is one dog in the house. Hubby says he'll clear the sh1t up, but it's usually me that does it, so our 2 year old can and play in the back garden!

Answer 4

Wow! I can't believe you wrote so much due to frustration over dog poo, but I completely understand the real frustration behind all of it because I have three sisters, and two of them were such a pain to deal with. Take a deep breath and relax honey. By the way, tell your sister it is her turn so she has to do it and stand firm.

Answer 5

It used to be called pure in the 19th century and was used for the process of tannin leather . I agree with you ,its a bit unfair that you should always clear up the pure.If one dont do it one week then you dont do it the next week and so on.If you dont use the garden dont do it at all.If you do then clear the section you use an let them clear their own section

Answer 6

Why couldn't she have picked it up herself, do her hands not do that type of duty, better still tell her to take the dogs out for a walk and they might stop having to poo in the yard.

Answer 7

Both of you do it, then after that take alternate days each, do not fight over POO that is humiliating just both of you get some gloves on and pick the poo up.

Answer 8

Can't Papa be the adjudicator?
You have 3 dogs and you should all accept collective responsibility (Daddy too).
Your sisters sound like proper shirkers but the dogs are still YOUR responsibility. No, this isn't fair but you'll soon realise young lady that - pardon the pun - s**t happens and you have to roll up your sleeves and deal with it.
Remember, u ain't doing it for your sisters, you're doing it for your dogs.

Answer 9

I reckon u wait til your other sister gets back and u all go out there and pick up the mess from your dogs.

Answer 10

How about you just go out and clear up the poo. So at least it doesnt smell and then your not stooping to her level and being adult about it. then once its done, tell her how you feel about it, but talk to her once shes calmed down, and resolve it that way.
