Cant tolerate sister's attitude

    This is nothing compared to other peoples problems and i would probably be told to grow up but i honestly cant tolerate my sisiter's attitude any more. Unfortunatly, im still living at home and my sister is being a proper bitch.

    It doesnt matter what i do or say, she turns against me. At times i dont have do anything or say anything and she still turns against me. Its not just me. She's like that to my mother also.

    At the moment, she is learning to drive and just expects me to sit in with her cause i have the full licence. I dont mind, it gives me a break from driving. Last sunday, early on in the day, she asked me to sit in. She wasnt going anywhere, she just wanted to practice. I was busy and i told her, later (this was on sunday morning-we had the whole day yet). She turned against me and she has been a proper bitch to me since. We haven't spoken to each other since.

    This isn't the first time either. She gets all bitchy over the smallest little thing and gives out to me. I am so tired of her attitude towards me, i dont even want to waste my energy on her anymore.

    What do i do? I cant tolerate a 26 year old acting as if she's still 2.

    Dont sit in the car with her. Dont do anything for her at all. My Gf sister is like that but younger. Ignoring her would work. Eventually she will have to come around, apologies and realise that you are not there to be taken advantage of.

    Hope that works!

    tell her to shut the fúck up or you'll never get in the car with her again.

    I'm a 22 yo guy and according yo to my 19 yo brother I'm the most lazy, decrepit, despicable and horrible inconsiderate person you could ever meet. End of. Who was the guy who got him his job when he was unemployed, wrote his CV, coached him for the interview and the rest, looked after him when things were against him. Me of course. This is only a small example. He's my brother. I hate him and he hates me at times, we'd knock lumps out of each other and rip each other to bits if left to it without question.

    But at the end of the day, I love him, he loves me. We manage to get on with things and we do unfortunately let the trivial get in the way from time to time. We share a room and lot of life experience. Maybe I'm generalizing too much on my own experience but ultimately you've got little left than your own. Get over it, swallow your pride and the rest. Life's way too horrible and too short to let petty things get in the way. I'm by no means belittling you or anything but for the love of god communicate, talk to each go and for a beer or several, a coffee would suffice even. People not talking or saying how they feel has burned uncountable bridges. Communication is the key to every relationship. Family, platonic or otherwise. Just speak.

    I realise what ur saying. Its why i grew out of that myself after my teenage years. But what im saying is i should never have to put up with her moods. There's times when i dont do anything or say anything, and she turns against me. And im wondering why, what have i done/didn't do. Im getting so tired of her childish behaviour. Im beginning to ignore it.

    siblings - tend to be like this.

    However the difference in your case is that instead of your sister acting like a spoilt child at 6, shes doing it at 26.

    Sit her down, be calm and tell her to grow up. She will argue back - however simply ignore her.

    Childidh behaviour is a result of a sheltered existence, this girls needs a hard smack of reality, preferbly size 12 .

    I feel your pain :rolleyes:

    I have a sister the same age that acts this way. None of the advice given above works for me - communicate and ignoring.

    sounds like somebody hate their life :rolleyes: Just meet fire with water and you'll be alright.

    Siblings act stupid but at your age she should have grown out of this.
    Don't give her anymore lessons. Every time she acts the bullox just turn around, walk away & ignore her like you do to a screaming child.
    You need to get your mother to do the same to her. It's your mother's house & she must obey mother's rules.
    Send her a link to this page & let her feel the shame
