I'm Sick of This

[The Magic Taco]

I am fed up with sharing my room with my sister.
Nothing has value or respect anymore! Last night she ripped all the pages out of the $60 organiser my aunty gave me last year and rearranged the pages! She leaves her crap everywhere! Especially on my bed. And I'm supposed to pick it up!! I am two years older than her, I don't want to flippin' have to be stuffed in a room with her singing and leaving her million watt light on every night!
I have no privacy
She goes through my stuff
She wears my clothes
She takes money.

I AM SO SICK OF HER!

Thanks for reading, I know you don't really care.

[BabyGrl]

Of course we care Taco. Have you tried talking to your parents about her taking your stuff? You might not be able to get your own room but they should help you out with that.

[pink_cottonball]

Of course we all care! Me and my sister have been getting into big fights lately. But we ended up figuring out that we both just wanted to be friends with each other and have more fun together instead of fighting! I hated it. Just try to talk to your parents,and tell her that you really don't like it! I'm sure it will all work out.

[carlabunyan]

she sounds annoying have you tried speaking to her saying would she like it if you did that to her stuff?

[Sabriel]

Maybe you need to invest in a big trunk with a big lock. I would go nuts if I were you!

I can't even live under my parent's roof let alone share a room with my siblings!

[Harleigh]

I know how you feel, I eventually got to move out of the room with my sister. We still have problems, even today when I haven't lived under the same roof as her for 4 years. It gets better, you just need to be patient and report to your parents what is going on.

[ScottandDebbie]

Of Course we care.

I had a little sister too, who was also 2 year younger than I. She would drive me out of my mind sometimes.

I think I would just print out what you have posted to us, and hand it to your parents.

There are ways of making this situation much better for both you and your sister. I had two sons who had to share a room a few times, and there were many times I would hear yelling coming out of their rooms because one was into the other's space.

I found that large decorative room dividers worked wonders. We actually divided the room in half. Both boys had duplicate dressers, night stands, etc. Plus... Scott and I set up some strong rules about respecting other's property and personal space.

I am pleased to say both boys are grown, alive and well...

Hang in there. And I hope you can get this somewhat resolved.

Ooo, I totally feel your pain. Not that I have experineced it, but I can imagine. You definetly need to speak to your parents. Just politely tell them how you feel. But don't be whiney, be objective. Just be very adult about it when you tell them and they may do something to help you.

Thanks everyone!
I've tried explaining the situation to my parents, but this girl is 100% discipline free. Because she's second youngest, that's why.

Last night she really made me want to cry. Music used to be the only thing I could use to calm myself down, but now I've been ridiculed and judged because of what music I like!
She took my CD player.
"WHAT are you doing?!"
"Taking the CD player."
"Are you kidding? I was given that for Christmas!"
"WE were given it" (To Libby, Merry Christmas love Santa; I don't think so, BB!)
Then she went looking for "Libby- The Album Vol II" (MY CD, it has my name on it!).
"I'm not giving you my CD's!!"
"YOU ONLY LIKE ELVIS! YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE! YOU DON'T LISTEN TO MUSIC!"
She completely made herself sound stupid then.
"THAT's A LIE! I listen to Elvis, Van Morrison, Meatloaf, George Harrison..." And I listed everyone else
"UUUUH, those are all people I listen to!"
My mouth dropped. She has only heard the chorus of two Van M's, and pretends she likes George Harrison's 'Got my mind set on you" and I don't think she knew who he was before I sang Bangla Desh!! She doesn't even like Meatloaf!!
I didn't bother with my rebuttal and I tried to sleep in another room.

I'm going mad.

[PiggieMom]

I'm sorry Taco. I know what you're going through. My sister is a year and a half younger than me. We haven't shared rooms at my dad's since I was 10 or so, but at my mom's we share a bed! Sometimes she drives my crazy too.

We're complete opposites. I'm a neat freak, she's a slob. I'm really mellow, she's really emotional. I'm "big boned", she's thin (which means she can wear my clothes, but I can wear hers...).

Your sister sounds like she's just trying to be like you. Unfotunatly that's by stealing all your stuff, and copying your music tastes (with the exception with Elvis which is weird.) I don't know how your room is set up, but maybe you could hang up a shower curtain or sheet down the middle if it's split up half and half. Sometimes even that little bit of a barrier helps.

Really, little sisters are just a pain. But there isn't much that can be done. Parents just don't understand. Although both my parents were the oldest children in their lot, so you would think they would sympathize with me! Bah! My sister was, and is, free of all disilpline. (She turned into a wild child, but that's a different story all together.)

Anyway, good luck. It's healthy to vet, even if it is online.

I am sorry Taco. I too have a younger sister, selfish spoiled brat! We where really close as small children, then grew apart. During our late teens we became close again when my father passed on and times where tough. But, last Christmas, I had yet another falling out with her, and have not talked to her in 3 months because she just won't give an inch, but expects the moon from me.

I remember the days when my parents would buy us two of everything, she would loose hers and steal mine back in a fit accusing me of taking "hers". She even admitted to it years later, but from time to time, would do it all over again!

Younger sisters can really suck! But, you will survive.

If talking to your parents doesn't work, why don't you just start taking her stuff and see how she likes it. Err, ok, I guess that is a bit childish and if you don't want to stoop to her level then I guess you shouldn't, but if you are on you last straw, why not have some fun and annoy her.

It sounds like Taco would get into trouble with those sorts of games, it is a double standard, OK for the sister, but not for her. Just like how it was in my house.

Maybe you could get a small lockable chest or tackle box or something to keep all your "treasures" in, (and money) Wear the key around your neck, so at least you have a square foot or so to call your own. As for picking up after her, I would fight that, I don't know if you could, but if you get any "your the older one crap" from your parents, try to argue "why does that make me her maid?" and "I was picking up after not only myself, but her at her age, she is more then capable of it".

I know in my house though, my mother was exhausted in trying to argue with my sister, she was very very mouthy and not fun to argue with, so it was easier to brow beat me into taking the rap for everything then to fix the real issue. Honestly too, I think she just liked my sister more too. She thought I was weird

[PiggieMom]

Aw. Cavies-and-Kids. My dad thought I was weird too, but he still loves me. And you know your mom does too. Parents have it tough when the youngest is a monster. It effects the whole family. Hugs all around. I'm sure there are some youngest children out there reading this thread feeling bad, or whole had older siblings that tortured them. (For all my complaining about my sister, I used to lock her in a closet because I knew she was afraid of the dark.)

[bromers]

Do what she does to you to her. Does that make sence. She may then learn her lesson. That is the only advice I can give you. If that doesnt work. Smack her really really hard.

[BabyGrl]

I think you need to borrow PM's rubber trout and show your sister who is the boss.

[PiggieMom]

Ever try to tickle her? That drives my sister nuts.
