VENTING!! LONG rant!

[3BluEyedBabies]

I'm so ANGRY! My younger (by 12 years) sister--who is the exact opposite of me in EVERY way---is infuriating. We have a long history of her driving me nuts and I really wonder why I even bother with her at all. I believe in doing things the right way and raising my kids a certain way...she does everything with her kids that I despise. She told my mom one time that I'm such an 'old bitty' sometimes! Well, excuse me for having MORALS! I'm so mad typing this right now...

She sent my a FB message yesterday asking me what I was doing today. I said probably not much. She asked if I could watch her littles (which is a stupid name that drives me nuts) Now she has three kids of her own; and her boyfriend has three of his own; so I'm thinking...how many kids are we talking here. She only needed me to watch two of them so she could go to court for a custody meeting with one of her ex's. I asked her what time. She told me she had to be there at 11...again what time would you drop them off??? She never answered. So I went to bed around 9 because I have to be up at 5:30 to get my oldest up for school....
At 7:30 am she calls me to see if I can watch them and I said I would, but you never said what time...she laughed and said she must not have gotten the message and she would drop them off around 10. ok, DEEP BREATH!!

so it's 10:20 and I'm wondering where she is...I'm playing on FB and she messages me that she's just gonna leave them with my mom since her fiance is there to help her....SERIOUSLY???!!!

I give up...I'm getting my house ready for company...a 3 yo and 9 mos old so I'm kind of baby proofing as I'm straighening up and now they aren't even coming....Again I ask WHY DO I BOTHER?

ok, end of rant. Thanks for listening. I'm still fuming!!!

I can completely understand why that would make someone angry. She not only took you for granted, she didn't even bother informing you well in advance that she changed her plans. You might have to let her know that her behaviour is not appreciated and if she requires your help next time, she has to be more considerate of you. Or put your foot down the next time so she doesn't think she can get away with such a poor attitude towards you.

I definitely can relate! You are not alone. I have a sister about 11 years younger than me that has made a lifetime of horrible choices and yet always plays the victim card. Drives me nuts! I had to move out of state to give myself the needed sanity and distance from her.

That is super disrespectful of you and your time. She should have called or texted you the min she knew she wasn't going to need your help after all and then thank you profusely for being willing to help. Sounds like she is WAY too flighty. Though I have found that even when your loved ones drive you nuts you just love them and accept who they are but still having enough boundaries to not have them drive you completely insane! GL!
