My sister can be extremly greedy. I am usually spoiling her. I always make her like cookies when her friends come over, and pumpkin bread when she asks. I am also considerate to her company and bussiness. I even do her wash sometimes. Yet today she told her sister that they could watch my DVD tonight without my permission. I was planning on watching tonight, so i told her no, im watching it. My parents were like let her borrow it, you just saw it. She saw it too in hte movies so i see no reason to give it to her. She is spoiled enough with my giving in and friendliness and quite frankly i get none of that in return. Do you think i am being over exagerent or doing the right thing. It is my movie so it is my decission and if i say no she needs to except it right?

I think she is being very ungrateful and needs to learn a lesson. You have gone out of your way to do things for her and she has come to just expect them now. Stand your ground or this greed monster that your sister is struggling with will get even bigger.

I would say No if you are going to watch it. ( make sure you do if you say NO) You are polite and helpful to her beyond any of my brothers every where. but sooner or late she has to know she cant have her way all the time. She should give and share like you. not take take take. golden rule and all that jazz. If you parental units get mad at you for not sharing with your sister be creative have some of your friends over for a movie. or you can always do something to the dvd to make it not work temperary. Them fix it back the next time you want to use it heheheh I've had to do that a few times.

It really pisses me of when parents try to take sides like that. You are trying to teach someone not to be greedy or you just don't want lend that special thing becuase it means alot to you, which is actually acceptable not to share it, the parents step in or other people and they say, let her use it. My parents do this sometimes y I feel like they rather take other people's side rather then thier own kid. Most of the times my parents understood becuase they would tell me not to let other people touch my instruments, CDs, and cell or other expensive things and it was usually with younger cousins.

Remind her of the things you do for her and tell her it would be nice if she did something for you this time, like back off about the DVD. I would stick to the no or itll get worse over time.

You should say no. Don't let her. Your sister is being greedy and inconsiderate.

yes, you should just say no and if your sister and her friend do something to you say that they are still not getting it
