Talk to your mom about it and tell her that you cannot handle her like that. Tell your mom that she refuses to do her chores and tell her what she says and does when you tell her to do them. Also when you tell her that you are going to call your mom, then do so. That way she will start to believe that you will call and you are not just saying that so she will do what you want. Write down everything you sis does while your mom is away and give it to your mom when she returns. You should not have to get a grip on your sis, it is your mothers job to do so and it is her job to show her that if she doesnt do as she should then there will be consequences when she gets home. Let your mom read this if talking to her doesnt help or if she doesnt want to listen. At this point, your mom is hurting you by letting your sis run all over you bc she feels that you should look out for her and tries to use add as an excuse. Even though she has add, she still knows right from wrong and should be punished the same as any other child.

Hon, you are only 15, it's not your duty to make your sister mind. But if those laws are laid then maybe try and make it like a game to your sister. Do you have something that she really likes, a video game?, a shirt?, some eye shadow? Maybe what your sister needs is some incentive to get her room clean. Or some help, maybe the two of you could do the chores together. Make a suggestion to her like, I think your dresser would look good over there, do you want me to help you change your room around?By the way; Where The heck is your mother??!!

Oh, honey, give up. I was the older sister. I did all the housework etc because my sister wouldn't help or if she did it was in the 5 minutes before our mom was due home.
Unless your mom is willing to make a chore list and make her responsbible for her own specific chores, there isn't much you can do.

Babysitter or no longer, its unreasonable on your mom to assume you to have the skill to realize lots along with her 14 year previous daughter, yet on my own somebody with upload. it seems she is turning in accountability, the two because of the fact she has given up or for another reason. there is not any excuse for punishing you for some thing that's no longer your fault and out of your administration. talk on your mom, clarify the situation intently - choose your words and don't develop your voice in case you are able to help it. opportunities are high, she could hear, make it very sparkling the form you experience.

Hey! dont worry about your sister. Any teenagers may do that just because of their ages. The only thing you can do is just that to be patient...try to talk with her when she is upset.and don't tease her. I have a younger sister too. I see what you say. and about chores...you can ignore doing them till your mother tells her to do them. never mention her to do her chores. let your mom do that. Good Luck

The question truthfully shouldn't be about how you can control your sister as much as why your mom isn't fulfilling her obligation as a mother. It is really not your position to control your sister and make her do her chores it should be your mother who controls her.

Ask your mom to give her chores and to give you chores and let each child be responsible for their own chores to mom. You aren't responsible for your little sister.

Your mother is forcing you into a role she should be playing and not only it is robbing you of a childhood, but it is going to set up hostility between you and your sister where you could and should have a close kinship. Please talk to your mother and tell her you are no longer comfortable with this responsibility and you are not going to parent her anymore. If she punishes you, or refuses to relieve you of this duty, please talk to a trusted friend or family member and enlist their help.

Your Mom needs to step to her duty. It is NOT your place or right to punish or enforce your sister's behavior.
