Current mood: really fucking aggravated

AGGRAVATION
MY SISTER:

-makes fun and gossips about the tattered love lives of our family and former classmates, yet she's a divorcee whose husband lied to her and mooched her money for four years.

-mocks my cousin Mark, who is getting his third Master's degree, and my cousin Stephanie, who completed school but suddenly decided to do real estate instead, despite the fact that she's currently getting her third degree (PHD, physical therapy), long after getting her previous two in completely different fields.

-is 32 years old, and yet refers to herself as "college-aged".

-goes home every weekend to my parents' house, steals food from their cabinets & fridge, eats free meals all weekend, and gets paid $50 to clean my parents' room/bedroom, yet pitches an ungodly fit whenever they do something for me (i.e., putting me on their family phone plan).

-has no job, lives almost purely on student loans, and yet bought a $425 Himalayan kitten when her last cat died (refusing my offer to buy her one from the Humane Society instead).

-complained about paying for her half of dad's Father's Day gift because she was 'on a budget', then bought herself a $3,000 Western Saddle for showing her horse.

-insisted that it wasn't fair that I got a $600 rebate check and she didn't, even though she doesn't have a job.

-still actually cares (and gets involved with) who won the fucking MayDay Pageant every year, because she won it in 1994.

-got mad at my father because he refused to pay for her trip to The World Celebration Horse Show (the biggest Tennesee Walking Horse show in the world) to compete in an event that A) she has never competed in, and B) the horse has never even been trained in.

-said tonight she wasn't voting for Barack Obama not because she disagrees (or even knows anything) about his policies, but because he is Un-American for not wearing a flag pin, and because "his wife is ashamed to be an American."

-thinks racism is funny, and intentionally uses the phrase "jew [something] down" in my presence because she knows it bothers me and I told her she shouldn't say it.

-went to lunch with me Monday, and after barely speaking during the meal with all my loud, energetic, boisterous friends at work, told me later that "They were all immature."

-is the most immature fucking idiot I've ever known a lot of the time. Ironic, huh?

Ugh, I feel your pain hun. My own brother is the baby of the family and believes that everything should be handed to him, or his fast talking skills should get him any position he so desires, and sadly, half the time my parents just GIVE him things to shut him the fuck up. >.< Like my dad's truck, which is leaking OIL ALL OVER THE BREAKS, is still being driven by Sam, even though he has only half a clue that something is wrong with the truck, and he also gets money any time he asks for it.

Luckily, I'm generally the better liked child, because we actually realize how big a favor my parents are doing by letting us stay here (instead of paying for a shitty apartment that's 100+ miles away that we're not living in like SOMEONE we know who's getting the cash for it by doing drug runs for his roommate who actually lives there) and do stuff around the house and almost never ask for things unless we REALLY need it. >.

Oh, and the whole issue with his lack of humility about ANYTHING, and his dire need to talk down about/to everyone. Even though he's broke, jobless unless you count unlicensed pharmaceuticals, and his friends only put up with him because he steals money to get booze and drugs. Yeehaw.

Though he's not an absolute idiot about the workings of Obama. I feel REALLY sorry for you to have THAT ignorant a sister. It's also really funny that she's still all about that pageant. She needs to grow up. College-aged = under thirty. END OF STORY. Aaaaaand I think that's it.

yeah, college aged is under 24, definitely.

i moved to new york recently and have been really annoyed with all the people here who sound a lot like your sister.... in their 30s or older, acting, dressing, mooching and banishing responsibility like they are college aged. People are so fucking self absorbed and no one goes out and engages in the world beyond their own bills and kittens and political disbeliefs. It sucks when it's close to you, as in sibling close, and you are forced to deal with it.

She wakes up every morning with her same shitty attitudes, expectations and fears. You, on the other hand, wake up being you - a kinder, more generous, happier (mostly) and all-around lovelier, better person. How cool is that!
