Another Vent
So, incredibly long story short, my parents (well my mom and my step dad) are fighting, like the worst they ever fought, over my sister.
Basically, they wanted her to watch my brothers this weekend so they could out of town (which, mind you, they NEVER EVER DO). She threw a huge fit and called my mom crying and bawling at work. My mom is mad at my step-dad, when really, he just asked her nicely and didn't yell or demand. My sister has "such big plans" this weekend. But she has plans every single night of the week.
I understand that it sucks to have your plans change or to cancel them but she owes my parents big time. She doesn't have a job, won't get a job and has her hand out for money constantly. They pay her car payment, car insurance, cell phone, everything, they even put gas in her car. She doesn't pay rent or help out with any of the bills, even when she had a job (which she quit to "find a better one"). She doesn't do anything. She wont' help out my mom around the house, she won't pick up after herself, she won't do laundry or dishes, nothing. The least she could do is watch my brothers one night.
So, redirecting, I feel that my mom's angry is misdirected. She's so mad at my step dad for making my sister "so upset." I understand that she hears it from him all the time, but seriously? Instead of taking your 19 year old daughter's side that is running you into the ground, why don't you take your husband's side? Seriously.
At this point, I have nothing nice to say. So will stop this vent. Thanks for reading and listening.

Re: Another Vent
I guess I was just saying I know how you feel and I hope your sister decides to watch your brothers. It's not fair to your mom and step-dad.
Hugs!
I hope so too.
I understand that my mom is probably sick of hearing my step dad complain about my sister because this whole issue with her living there and not paying anything or doing anything has been going on for about a year. But the fact is, my step dad is mad and he has every right to be. The man works 70 plus hours days, just to have my mom give it to my sister whose not working or even trying to get a job.
I guess I'm on my step-dad's side on this one. I don't think this is going to blow over anytime soon.
