Guys, I am in need of emotional support right now. Last night, my sister vented to her friends about how she hates my parents, and then ended up in a shouting match with my parents. Well, I overheard last night that we might not be going to Disney World this coming summer, and it's all because my sister decided to tell her friends how much she hates her parents.

Can you guys believe this? I was really looking forward to this trip, and my sister decides to F*** it up. Honestly, I'm so mad, I feel like crying for 8 hours non-stop, and/or breaking a radio! How could she do this to me? All her life, I worked hard to be nice to her, and now I can't go to DIsney WOrld with my family all because my princess sister decides to trash talk my parents! Thanks a lot SISTER!! !! !!

Now I'm predicting that she's gonna come crying to me about how MOM and dad are so unfair and mean, and she'll probably expect me to play therapist with her like she always does when something doesn't go her way.


And she also said she was just venting when Dad yelled at her. Well, now I just had MY turn to vent! :twisted: So she hates my parents because she THINKS they're too strict with her. Well, now I hate HER because I can't go to Disney World because my parents don't want to spend the money on a trip because they're predicting that sister is going to bring her cell phone with her and tell her friends over the phone that she hates her parents. Thanks a lot, SISTER!! !!

I have two older brothers that, through their near-constant trouble with the law and the subsequent legal costs, kept my parents from taking us to DisneyWorld, moving to a bigger house in a nicer neighborhood, paying for medical tests to determine my allergies, and sending my sisters and I to college.

Your parents would do well to either take away yiur sister's cell phone (if she's not the one paying for it), or kicking her out to go live with her friends.

It takes only one rotten emo sibling to screw things up for everybody else.

Oh, I hope they do both, plus take her wii away and give it to me. :P Why should she have a cell phone and video games if she hates the people who gave them to her? I hope they do worse to her. Yeah, now that I went through this trauma, now I can empathize with you on how you feel as well.

Yeah, but your parents should have made your brothers pay for the legal costs themselves. Why were your brothers constantly in trouble with the law? If my sister gets in trouble with the law, my parents did say that she'a on her own from there, if she ever gets in trouble with the law. I also realized that I haven't shown as much gratitude towards my parents as much as I should have.

Not going to Disney World because your parents were told by your sister she hates them? That is so rediculoius.

Lot of kids say they hate their parents but then they get over it. I don't know what went on with your sister about why she hates your parents but I assume it's normal stuff like she doesn't get her way, she hates to be punished, she is forced to do chores around the house? Normal stuff kids would hate their parents over.

They did ... eventually, but long after any of the rest of us could have benefitted.

Long, convoluted story ... one that would reveal too much private information about my dysfunctional family.

I would have a conversation with your parents (in a moderated, non-accusatory, tone) about how you don't understand why the rest of you can't go because of this. Perhaps suggest that she stays with Aunt Mathilda while the rest of you go, or that they take other privileges away. Let them know how much (without whining) you were looking forward to going with them.

Parents make mistakes and say things without thinking them through first as well. Make sure it's a time where your sister can't hear too. Make it like a proposal.

Well, she was kind of telling her friends about how she hates her parents and how their too strict and all, and in addition, she was looking for something in Dad's filing cabinets downstairs in his home office. She and Dad got into a shouting match, and Mom ended up in tears. Of course, I didn't quite get the WHOLE story, but I eventually did hear my Mom ending up in tears, as if she was breaking down. I did also hear my Dad scream out about Sister being kicked out of the house as soon as she graduates high school. I almost ended up crying after hearing Dad yell about cancelling our florida trip last night. And then my sister ends up crying about not being understood.

The thing that confuses me, though, is that she and I were not brought up to be this way. We were not brought up to be liars or meanies. We were brought up to be kind, considerate, and polite to others. My sister has been quite a handful ever since she was born, and one of my favorite lines I used to say when I was 5 or 6 was "She doesn't want to live here anymore, let's bring her back to the hosiple(yes, that's how I pronunced hospital back then)." ANyways, sister has always been a handful, for example, from 7th through 12th grade, I often felt like I was being used by her, because every single day almost, she would routinely ask me to play with her, and if something didn't go her way, then she would end up yelling and screaming, or be defiant.
She didn't just argue with me, however. If Mom and Dad told her to do something, she would end up throwing a hissy fit, and in the days when the show "Rugrats" was shown on Nickelodian, she would utter the phrase "Why, so I can scream?! !!" I just don't know how she ended up this way in a household where we were not brought up to be selfish?

Unfortunately, if she does get booted out of the house, and she does take her wii with her, then that means no more Pokemon battle Revolution for me, at least until I can save up for my own wii, and who knows how long that will take?
