Oh Grow Up

I must vent again. I'm not a fan of using my blog to vent, but I'm been feeling so overwhelmed. Nope, not with my son, dog, or even my husband but with my little sister. Well not so little, nearly 27 years old.
I feel that if you're "fucking up" (excuse my language) your parents have the right to tell you so, but since my parents now live in the Philippines and we only speak to them once a month, someone being me or my brothers should be able to tell her to grow up and put herself together.

To be fair and defend her, she was in a nine year relationship that went sour and unfortunately didn't have a back-up plan to what she could do if the relationship didn't work, which many many people are guilty of doing when in a long term relationship. It has been nine months since she's moved in and she still has no plans. Since she's lived here, she's only worked 2-3 months at Amazon (got laid off), that was month and a half ago. She stays out all night and sleeps until 2pm. How do you find a job like that. She says depressed and maybe she is but maybe she needs a good kick in the ass. I don't know but I've HAD IT!!! She's ungrateful, lazy, and not as helpful as I thought she'd be.

I'm going to speak to her. I've thought about it for a week now to try and see how I can go about doing it. Mature adult, sister to sister, parent to child, friend to friend, but I'm just going to say what I feel. I'm about to have another baby and I'm not really up to worrying about a grown ass girl, yup a girl, not a woman, well maybe a bitchy bratty teenager.

AAAAHHHHH better now!!!

  1. I think you're right. Speak what you feel and let her know that she needs to get herself together, not only for herself but for the rest of the family. Even depression isn't an excuse for irresponsible behavior. She's lucky to have a big sister like you to point towards a better way of handling her loss.
