When your 23 year old sister doesn’t work or go to school and fights with your parents about everything, when is it ok to say something?

The economy is bad but there’s a shopping center with kmart, target, applebees and all right up the street. She’s always on her cell phone which my father pays for and she’s never in a good mood. The kicker is that my father also gives her $30 a week! If I give her a jobfair flyer or something she gives me this cocky look. If I could, I’d drag her out of her bed every morning and make sure she was at least trying to find work. Uuuugh! I don’t know what to do.

It’s none of your business.

Concentrate on building your own life and stop wasting your time being a perfectionist and judging your lazy sister.

You seem to think all of this is unfair. Guess what? If you bust your *** building a life for yourself, you’ll have a future. Your sister is the one who’s going to end up a pathetic sad mess if she doesn’t shape up.

Thank you. I think I just needed to hear that. I’m the older one so I take responsibility for things more than I should. I’m going to stop now.

20 years from now you’ll be in a nice home with a husband and kids. She’ll be in a rat-infested tenement. When she visits, just shoot her a cocky look now and then. ;)

I’ve been trying but everytime I do, I unintentionally start a fight. She is just someone who enjoys having it easier than everyone else. She threatened my dad by saying she’d move out. My dad loves being depended on so she uses him.

If you have already tried then leave it - there is only so much you can do before it starts affecting you. good on you for trying though - at least you can say you did
