I got some helpful advice from Spoom. I was wondering if the rest of you could help....

OH, god, where do I start?

Well, see, I have a little sister. We don't get along, I can't stand to be in the same prescence as her for obvious reasons,but I had the nerve to make a promise to a friend on the phone. I said it in utter disbelief, "I will try to be nicer to my sister." bullsh*t, you'll see why I want to revoke this promise...

Well, it was a Friday....in fact, it was last Friday, and my sister had asked me to drive her all the way up to far Chester/Richmond to pick up her boyfriend and see a movie. My mom had paid me to do this exhausting task, so I grudingly agreed. So, we leave at 6:00, and it takes nearly an hour to get to this guy's place; we arrive there at 7.

*sigh* My sister said she wanted to head to movies at 8:30, meaning I was going to have to wait 90 minutes in the car while she was with her boyfriend. Oh, did I mention that my sister is 16 and her boyfriend is 20? Didn't think so.

I argue with her because she doesn't have a single clue what time the movie she wants to see starts. The plan was for she and her boyfriend to see The Ring Two at the Byrd Theatre, but my sister wanted me to make alternative plans. She wanted me to go all the way back to chester so that she could see Star Wars. She claimed that The Ring Two was "too scary." Sheesh.

Anyway, considering the amount of travel I would have to do to complete her task, she finally got some logic in her head and decided to head for the movie theatre she and her boyfriend were originally planning to go. May I say that her boyfriend is not good with directions? I had a few problems going where he directed me to go because I could not enter these areas.

We finally get to the movie theatre at 8:00. The Ring Two isn't even playing there. And, to make it worse, the next movie playing at the Byrd Theatre, Coach Carter, wasn't starting until 9:30. So, I tell my sister and her boyfriend, that I would catch up with them as I tried to find a parking space. I did, and then I started walking with them because...you know...three is company. All of a sudden, my sister stops, looks behind me, and asks, "Why are you following me?"

Utter bullsh*t and disregard for my feelings. At least the boyfriend had sympathy as I walked back to the car and left them alone. I honestly said to myself, that I would never do a damn thing for my sister again, she could rot in hell, and that my attempt to ne nice to her was taken in vain. I drowned my anger in an ice cream cone and a pizza from the recently opened "Bambino's Pizza" across the street. I had to use the bathroom really badly, and there wasn't any place I could find one. So, I'm walking around for an hour waiting to get my movie ticket, so that I can finally use the toilet. I do, and it was very relieving.

My sister came into the theatre, and tried to talk to me, but I said nothing. She said she'd give me 10 bucks if I smiled. I gave one of the most convincing smiles, took the 10 bucks, and spent it on popcorn and a soda. I watched the movie, finally took her boyfriend home, and got home at 1:00 in the morning. So, I make 20 dollars for spending 7 hours with my sister. I'm never doing that sh*t again.

Let's shift to.....Monday/Tuesday... of this week.

I stayed up all night and decided it would be fitting to sleep during the day (one reason is that I was vieing for the graveyard shift at the Wa wa market). My sister wakes me up at five minutes to 2 with a phone call from my dad. He basically gave me a 30-minute time limit to fork up some stuff for some scholarship that has already expired. That is, an essay on how technology has impacted society, my college grades,a nd a working resume. I put on some clothes, get my portfolio from his house, and meet him at the school as he promised. I waited 45 minutes, and he didn't show up....so I went home.

He comes home later that day, asking for the papers, which I hand over immediately, cause I'm sick of it all. I want to be left alone. My brother lagged on his papers because honestly, he didn't even want to do it. Once all of that is done, my mother badgers me with paperwork I need to fill out in order to see a doctor on Tuesday about my special accomodations for college. See, I'm currently in a financial hussle, cause my financial aid gives me 17K, but my college tuition is 30K. My mom feels it would be better for me to live off campus because it would be cheaper.

I basically can't fill out this paperwork because the questions ask about a medical problem, and as for my medical problems, it can be treated. It's financial problems I'm facing. But, my mom and I go to the doctor anyway, and my mom wants me to mention the time I was depressed on campus as a ways of sympathy and hopefully getting referred for special accomadations. I felt sick, I felt guilty. It was a waste of time. We didn't even need to go here, I felt. The college is not going to let me move off campus, and that's the truth my mother is going to have to take...

Now. Let's go to yesterday, or rather Wednesday...:vein:

I've been staying up all night for about a week or so, and this night, I got to bed around 4 in the morning, and so, I'm sleeping peacefully when....*ring* phone call from my annoying sister at 9:00. "Can you go to McDonald's and bring me two sausage biscuits?" Her first source, my older brother, refused to do so, so she had to turn to me..Hmmmmmmmmmmm, the brother she so despises and vice versa!!!

*sigh* So, I put on my clothes, get the stupid sandwiches, and give them to her. She pays me five dollars. I drive home, and I can't get back to sleep until 11:30 a.m.. The only good thing about the trip was that I won an additonal 5 dollars on a scratch ticket I bought.

So, I'm sleeping peacefully Again......my brother wakes me up at 2 p.m., and tells me that I have to go with him to give my mom the car. I put on my clothes, give my mom the car, and ride home with my brother. I go back to sleep. I figured this'd be the last time I'm get interrupted from my slumber. I thought wrong. My dad wakes me up at 4:30, and tells me that the manager of EB games is there, because I earlier applied for a job. I go to the place like 15 minutes later, and the assistant there said she had to leave for another store, and would be back shortyl. I waited over an hour and she didn't come back, so I bought a few games and got the hell out of there. I've been awake since....and so, for that and many other reasons, I'm doing this post.

I think I may go insane people. For the numerous demands I put up with, even while I'm trying to vacation from college, I f*cking can't...I'm sorry.

When my sister interrupted my sleep yesterday, I really felt like taking the phone and screaming my ass off into the mouse piece, and hanging up.

In addition, my mom continues to try to vouch for me to move off campus, even if the odds are futile.

And....my dad wants me to find a job. Trust me, I've been trying. Wawa is my only hope. They have a graveyard shift available, and I'm hoping to get that.

So, there you have it. Long and fun to read, right? I'm going insane. I cannot enjoy my summer vacation like I want to, and I'm surrounded by people who place my patience, better yet my sanity, on thin ice. I fear that any day now, I'm going to crack, and that will come with dire, haunting consequences.....

Just try to ignore her or stay away from her. I have a little 11 yr old cousin who is very very very bad. If i were you i wouldn't do anything for my sister and say do it your self. Anyway to get away from people who test your patience just go somewhere peaceful.

I do that when I'm away at college...

Ever thought of just saying, "No im not getting you any god damn sandwiches, go yourself." it is not like you are her slave or anything. in all technicality it would be being nicer to her to make her do things herself because then she learns stuff like independancy etc etc instead of being able to bum everything off you or your brother right? so it is not like you would be being mean or anything. not in the long run.

She's been adapted to this lifestyle, Goth.

Ordering people around.

She's not going to get out of this habit.

and that means you cannot say no? how is she supposed to adapt to being a real human if not by not getting everything she wants? it will happen eventually might as well start with family.

ps. it is not like she is going to die over it.

Better tell that to my mom. She practically spoils her.

why isn't your mom driving her everywhere then?

Because my mom is an English teacher, and she has grades to do. Therefore, all other b.s goes to me.

Words of advice MOVE OUT I hate living with my family and in ... *looks at watch* 18 days that dream comes to pass.

The majority of my family agrees that my sister's bf is not right for her.

Today, my sister wanted me to pick him up so that he could attend a church picnic with her. My conscience had told me yes, but my brother bribed me not to.

So, my mom is doing it.

The guy is 4 years older than her, making him an adult and her a minor. He doesn't have a job, doesn't go to college (I don't know if he finished high school), has a kid or two, AND stays with his baby's mama.

Thanks for the addition, Ixz.

yeah, but are you just gonna roll over and let her? You might feel better about yourself if you take control here, and you might want to do that by telling her to take a taxi in future. Then again, maybe not, i don't know. Don't let life wear you down.

why have you been staying up all night for a week? Maybe you should stop doing that...

I was trying to get the graveyard shift at the Wawa Market

oh yeah, sorry

Lone wanted me to keep this in the other thread, so.....

All right, so, yesterday morning, my sister had wanted me to take her to Richmond to pick up her bf, and my brother bribed me not to, so my mom ended up doing all of that. I didn't see my sister until around 10 p.m. My mom was going to book them one night at Economy Inn, and she was going to be the chaperone.

I think I have tod you guys that my sister is 16, and her bf is 20.

So, my dad calls, and asks me where my mom is, and I tell him that she was at Economy Inn with Angelica and her bf. So, indeed, he was pissed off, for obvious reasons.

I slept during the afternoon, so I was wide awake; at 4 a.m., Everyone else was asleep. My dad knocks on the door. I answer, and he tells me that he went over there, and hasn't been able to sleep because he thinks sooner or later, my sister would get pregnant, not to mention he and the majoirty of the family do not approve her relationship. He then tells me that he wants me to go over to the inn and ask my mother whether to let my sister's bf stay at our house or remain in the motel.

So, my brother and I had to go over there, and my sister volunteered to leave and sleep over at the house, leaving my mom and her bf in the motel.

Anyways, before we left for home, my mom told me that two police officers had come and had said that my dad was looking out for the well being of my sister. So...yeah. I got back here about an hour ago, and I'm doing this post.

Advice from Regal

maybe your sister has just a bit too much freedom, like - 16 is old enough to handle one's self but there is also what is called abuse of the system and if she seriously doesnt know what choices are going to get her into a hell of a lot of trouble then it prolly would be a good idea to lock her up. like there is some scary things like dating an older guy that you have to let kids do but if what they are doing is REALLY OBVIOUSLY a bad idea, a really big one then i dunno...

Yes there is a possibility of your sister having too much freedom. Sometimes dating an older guy can have consequences. Then again they don't

The baby mama is also an issue.
