Did a stacking storage job for estranged hostile siblibg

I had to move Stuff from the doorstep where my sister left it and move pack it at very short notice to places around the house a few days ago. There was no pre notification of this. This included 2 radiators and a rocking cradle and 4 other bags. like Now the sibling has rung and emailed my dad about where I put this stuff. I am not getting any payment for this.
My elderly dad did not appreciate my attitude.
My sibling is accusing me of breaking things in it. Dad loves his daughter very much.
How do I dodge this sort of thing in future?

I had to read that about four times so apologies if my reply is a little uninformed?

Who's house is it and who lives there??

You are doing a job for a sibling why would you assume you would get paid??????

Are you saying that your sister left some stuff on the doorstep and you brought it into the house? And now she wants to know where you put it?

Just don't do it...say no!

The more I read your post, the more confused I get. All I have are questions. Whose house did your sister come to with these rather random items.
Do they belong to her? If so, why did she leave them on your father's (?) doorstep.
How does he feel about it?
If you're cocooning with him and that's why she didn't come into the house, how can she possibly know what condition her "stuff" is in?
Why should you be paid for this? What else about your attitude has annoyed your father? I'm not saying your sister is a nice person but if you're taking an overtly hostile attitude to this, you're not making things any easier for anybody.
Does anybody else live in the house?

OP trying to translate that sounds like:

You weren’t happy that she just left them at the door and you had to do a job for her.

She asked your elderly Dad where her stuff was put.

You gave your elderly Dad a snotty response when he relayed this message, hence the attitude comment.

You’re asking us how to avoid doing stuff for people again in the future?

If this is what you’re saying, sorry OP it does sound like you’re the one with the issue here. You had to lift, what, 6 items from the doorstep (presumably because your sister couldn’t come into the house with your parents there) to inside the house? And now you don’t want to do anything for anyone ever again?

How old are you OP?

Sounds like you live with your dad, so...currently he's cocooning?
So she can't come into the house, because of lock-down.
She needed items stored in the family home, left them outside, because she can't come into the house to protect her dad, which you then had to move.
Because you don't get on with her, you are resentful that you had to do this (presumably your elderly father couldn't move them) and feel that you should have gotten paid.

Due to the fact you don't get on with your sister, she's worried that you damaged her stuff so she asked your dad if you stored her stuff properly, presumably because she can't ask you. Is that about right?



Did you break her stuff while moving it?

Based on the information you’ve provided, it sounds like your’re completely overreacting. How would you even begin to expect to be paid for this?

What a bizarre question.

OP, if you want to avoid this kind of situation in future, make sure you tell everyone that you expect to be paid if they ask you for a favour.

Nobody will ever ask you for a favour again.

Honestly, if you expect to be paid for doing a 30-minute favour for your family, I'm not surprised they don't talk to you.

Make an excuse and don't help.
Here's the thing you should help family out - and not not look to get paid - its family. If it's anyone else? say no outright. You don't owe anyone anything. But family is family.
