I normaly don't do this and this might seem small to alot of you but I just got into it with my sister. I had here and my nephew move into my place and been helping her out for 4 years now and she still has problems managing her money. So bill are left to me untill she gets paid there always late and I work my Azz off to keep thing ahead. just about 6 months ago our Land_lord put in some new carpit. So I asked both of them not to eat in the living room or drink because before we got the carpit they did have a problem spilling things. So a rule was set but some people don't like to fallow rules and as expected by not fallowing what was ask a drink was spilled. This is not the only time my sister ha sdone this as far as eating in the living room. Hm isn't that what a kitchen table is for? So I had it I told her this is the last time. So if I catch one more plate in the living room with food and her drinks i'm going to dump it all over her bed. Ok you guys can laugh now lol

Don't it feel good to blow it off in a safe place where no feelings are hurt!

it helps the good thing is i can laugh at it but not at that time.

good venting---some people thinks it's ok to eat anywhere they please to--but once i get a new carpet put in my house--then i gotta change habit--might be hard to do, tho--

I stayed with my dad in my early 20's due to my getting divorced. He set rules that were totally absurd....not like your rules that were reasonable......but like not having any dates and no shorts or revealing clothes. We lived at the BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!! So after working two jobs and going to school faithfully to get my GED, pay my bills and such, I accepted a date and when my dad sked where I was going, I just told him I had a date and would be back later.
When I came home, it was quite dark, so I just walked straight to my room, got undressed, (oops, I sleep neeky) and crawled into bed. At first I thought it was sand, then after getting up I realized my dad had poured and entire container of salt in my bad andd then made it back up.......Kicks my ass laughing now, but I was really pissed at the time.

Yeah, but knowing my sis she has no problem ieating at the table when i'm there it's when i'm not she is most likely saying who cares and that is the problem. Well in 4 months I want have to deal with her anymore. I'm moving and she is on her own. She needs to learn how to take care of herself and when she gets her own place.she can dump all the food she wants lol

creationsfire. Yeah I can you being pissed I guess I wouldn't want it to happen to me so this is why I got a lock on my door

Oh Shadow, I was areeing with you that your rules were acceptable and valid...just thought it was funny that my dad poured salt in my blankets.....

You have every right to pour the left overs on her bad and kick her to the curb. I had to pull some tough love on my son, so I understand completely

What ever happened to respect huh??? I just dont get it when people take advantage of someone else hospitality....if you are staying in someone's house, the least you can do is CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF!! I would feel really "shame" if that was me(just my opinion)....but good luck to you...soon you will have your house back to yourself!!

i hear ya--that's the one thing i do is using the shop vac to suck up all the mess that's left on the carpet where i may not know i spilt some till i step on 'em--lol--ol' blind dog me---

do not forget to follow thru

and to make it even better

do it while the culprit is in it

No one disrespects me in my home. Wife & I always agreed on that. Break the rules to often, or just brazen disrespect, your on the street , talking to yourself.
Your not doing your sister any favors, you are just bailing her out all the time.
Tough love needs to be used sometimes.

its great that are u helping. but as the other has said it comes to a point where u are going to have to let go and tell her to ship up or move out. i know it sounds me but how can she learn u know...
hope this was not to mean to say

Hey we all got to vent every now & then,so long as you feel better. HI everyone!!

Oldsage I agree with you. Sometime you do have to take a little action. It's not ment to be mean it's just letting someone know if I fallow the ruls so should you. but I am tired of hearing i'm tired so this why I did it. Blah Blah Blah you know



cajunwhitetiger I moved into this place 6 years ago with some friends and one got married so they left and I took over the place and had my sis move in. So she is on the lease but everything is in my name. she looks at it as if this is my place, kinda. sense I make sure things are paid. Anyway I'm moving in 4 months and what she does after that is up to her. I had enough of helping her our for the last 6 years but the 4 that she has been living with me I thought by showing you can manage money that it might help. but it's not working so i'm moving on.

I agree, it is a respect issue.

understand where u are coming from.
of course i am the last one to ask about money matters but i learned the hard way lol

well, bro you had to do what you need to do

hope you are doing well out there--

You know, it kills me how some people just don't respect other peoples stuff. I bet when she gets her own place it will be immaculate
