Guest guest Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I'm sure you know the feeling then. I do love her and I have helped and helped. I have no problem helping when she tries all possible to do right but it just doesn't work out. The problem is she doesn't even try. When two years ago she decided to gut her bathroom down and do a completely new one, I really mean down to the beams, she announced to my hubby he'll be doing it. It's a 45 min drive from here to there each way. When he was almost done and it took him about 4 full weekends, they were installing her cabinet. He left her place at midnight to get home to go to work the next morning and didn't have time to put the cabinet together. I told her the next day to at least put it together with her 19 year old son so when my hubby gets there he'll just put it in place and do all the pipes and so on. She said she won't waste a few hours on it when my husband can do it in an hour. I was pissed and told her he's not going to waste almost 2 hours of getting back and forth just to put her cabinet together. Not to mention that she wouldn't even feed him right when he was working there all day. That's my sister. Mojo Re: My sister Sorry, just needed to get this off my chest. I'm just so afraid she is going down and there is so little we can do for her. She just refuses to help herself. She buys stupid things when she has some money but won't get a decent meal, or pay a bill off. And it has never been because she couldn't work. Now she'll have an excuse. Mojo Mojo I know exactly what you are talking about with your sister and money. You are doing the right thing by not helping. We gave my sister so much money during my marriage that I lost count over the years. Let's just say that is was thousands and thousands. It sounds like your sister is the same way regarding her responsibilities, in that no matter how much you give her it will never be enough and that she will never truly appreciate it. You are doing the right thing, exactly the right thing, just stay strong.a C "The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 I get so ticked off by that kind of behavior. Who gives them the right to act that way. I have to say though that my sister doesn't actually tell us to give her money. She's just in so much trouble it breaks our heart, especially since we care both for her and her son very much. With my hubby helping her out, that's another story. She expects him to do everything because he's a handyman. Mojo Re: My sister / to a C Not to mention that she wouldn't even feed him right when he was working there all day. That's my sister. MojoMojo, could it be? Is it possible? Are we long lost sister's???? Cause what you just described is my sister's lovely attitude toward my husband! She called here last weekend saying that she was stuck and needed a battery. I told her that we didn't have money to buy her a new one because we have cut her off, and she informed me that we had better come up with some then or she and her room mate will be moving into our garage! Then she said I should get my dad's money that he had set aside for his medication and buy it with that. Needless to say my dad did give the money, I could have killed him, and my husband drove over and installed it. Luckily my husband remembered the battery was still under warranty, he bought the last one, and it was only half price. We got lucky and our check came a little early and I was able to pick up his meds. See? We are in the same boat? We could just be the good sisters and they are the bad ones, right? lola C "The LUPIES Store" Come check out our store...http://www.cafepress.com/thelupies"The LUPIES Web Page"http://www.itzarion.com/lupusgroup.html"The LUPIES online photo albums!"
