I have 2 sisters and we all get along really well. When we were younger we used to fight a lot but now since we're older we get along like best friends and play nice. :biggrin:

 

I have one younger (almost 2 years) brother and we got along as kids, but not recently. He's a slacker and mom and dad treat him like he's perfect.



I have one older (9 years) half-sister and she resented my brother and I when we were younger. We got to be good friends a few years ago, but my divorce changed that since she still talks to my ex. I don't have an issue with her talking to her, but when she bothers me about sh*t my ex is trying to pull, that's when I have an issue.

 

I have two younger brothers. I was mean to them when we were younger, but we get along well now.

 

I have an older sister (4 years older). My parents help her out with EVERYTHING despite claiming bankruptcy less than a year ago, because she had no idea you had to actually PAY for the items you charge on a credit card. Did I mention that my Dad just bought her a car! WTF! I DO NOT like my sister.



I think I should mention that I haven't borrowed/asked for money from my parents since I moved out on my own many years ago. My parents gave my wife and I $5000 to put down on our home when we bought it. I reluctantly accepted the money. I get reminded all the time that they "gave" me 5K when I bought my house and I should stop b*tching about my sister and the $$$$ she gets/steals from my parents (not to mention the $$$$ my nephew gets + university paid for when I paid my own way through school) .



BTW- the car my Dad bought for my sister was a 20K Chevy Impala.



Holy crap, now I'm in a pissy mood!





/end rant

 

I'm in the SAME situation except we're two years apart. She made the Dean's List five times, two of them consecutively --and hasn't even finished her bachelors degree! It gets worse. She has 119 credits --get this-- for over 3 years! Her insurance is paid, house bills all paid for.



She totaled two practically new Tiburons my parents gave her. It gets worse. She totaled MINE when I left her the keys for emergency because her boyfriend and her thought it would be funny to smash into garbage cans that were full.



No, it gets worse.



She smashed into somebody two days ago and her premium which is paid for, is going to increase. Done? NOPE. That's on top of her already increased premium after she failed to appear in court for a traffic violation.



An incident that I find an embarrassment happened last year and I completely cut myself off from her because I am a moral, compassionate, honest, reasonable, and honorable person. Last week, I transferred her $650.00 out of the good of my heart yet she works full-time. I repair ALL of her things, take care of her 4 dogs, her car, maintain her free house and anything goes wrong...etc. and get SQUAT in return.

 

Nice to hear I'm not alone HKC. It just bugs the hell out of me. I work my butt off to support my family. I bought all 3 of my cars by myself (2 of them bought new), bought my own house @ 25 etc... I'm not looking for a medal, but when you see your sister getting everything handed to her for free and you're working your butt off it just doesn't seem fair. Then my parents defend her when I speak up!? My parents are in their late 60's, they should be enjoying their retirement not pampering my 38 year old sister!

 

Same same same same deal!!!! I try hard to explain why things aren't right and that by feathering her with money they're doing more damage for all of us and making it worse for the future. It's to the point where they can't pay their own bills! So I had to eliminate some commodities for them. We are European and my sister is the only one that does not value family, sense of family, or tradition at all. I could create a list of horrible things she's done like when they bailed her out of jail for hitting a cop, or dating a**holes that I had to appear in court for (the only time I've ever been in court other than arguing a ticket). She's gotten professional help before and that didn't work. Yet my parents b::ch about how I complain too much and I've turned into a madman because of so much "hate". They say that I'm in the wrong and sometimes refer to me as Hitler. I found it easier to subdue and fix her screw-ups while being able to maintain silence instead of rebel with no avail.



I really hope that that isn't the path that you'll choose, but it does eliminate unneeded and unnecessary stress and anguish on your mind and body.

 

To be honest i try and spend as little time as possible with my parents and sister. I might see them once a month if im luckey. lol. My parents think i live too far away to come visit, but my sister lives the same distance away in the opposite direction and they think nothing of going over there weekly. Whatever, im enjoying the time i get to spend with my son, playing indoor hockey, playing cars and reading stories.



I feel like i should be lying on a leather couch paying someone $100/hr! lol

 

My oldest sister is 10 years older than me. We're both pretty disorganised and get on well.

My older brother is 8 years older than me. He was mean to me when we were young and we're now friendly enough but pretty distant too. He's the favourite.

My less older sister is 6 years older than me. She's sh*t at life, much like HKC and Pas's sisters. She puts up a facade of being nice but in reality she spends most of her time careering from disaster to disaster and asking mum to bail her out



I'm the youngest and I do aight.

 

My younger brother is 29, lives in my parents apartment (he's part of the reason they lost the house), still has the same job at a grocery store that he held in HS, and acts like he's half his age. He's loud, obnoxious, needy, immature and irresponsible. He has no bills (my folks pay for his car and share of the rent), was only on his own for a single semester before flunking out of school, has always been handed his life on a platter, been arrested multiple times for petty crimes but never seen the inside of a jail cell and no social skills as a result of all of the above. I try to tolerate him but it's a chore. I've basically been forced to have the discussion with my folks that if, God forbid, any thing happen, I'm putting him out on his ass and taking care of the estate. It's cold but he's going to have to grow up some day. It's like he has a learning disability, but he doesn't. He's just lazy. Did I mention he's damaged several of my cars in pretty severe ways because he was angry and had no other vent for his aggression? Also that he got me kicked out of the house and estranged me from my own parents for several years just because he's a conniving psycho? Yeah, we don't get along.

My wife's sisters are cool
