Rant about Annoying Siblings
If you have annoying younger siblings then you will appreciate/understand this rant I'm about to post.
As most of you already know, I have two younger siblings, Jenn who just turned 21 and Vic who just turned 18. Yesterday my parents went down to VA so my mom could meet his landlady and are returning here in the next few hours. Seeing as my sister still has the mentality of a high-schooler she of course decided to invite 12 of her closet friends over to go in the hot tub and drink beer. Fine, whatever, she old enough to do that. But honestly first things first. I have a regular job 8-5 every weekday. This means that this morning I had to be up at 6am to get ready for work. My sister's friends didn't start arriving until 9:30pm and by 11pm when I was all tuckered out, they were still loud and proud. As I was laying in my bed I could hear them running up and down the stairs, running around upstairs...generally making lots of noise. Ok, whatever, I was finally able to fall asleep. I wake up in the morning and some of the lights were still on outside, the doors were unlocked, there was a random guy sleeping on the futon and empty beer cans scattering the downstairs. Fine so long as she cleans up whenever she wakes up (which she did). What really got my engines going was when I finally went upstairs to pack my lunch for the day. What you must understand is that on Sunday I went out to the store, bought bread and other little goodies for my lunch and when I woke up, the entire loaf of bread had been eaten. Ok, I have no problem with them taking one or two slices but the whole fucking thing?? That's just plain uncalled for so yea, I got to leave for work in a really pissy mood. Luckily I had a fairly good day at work so I was better by the time I got home. Jenn walked in not too long ago and I asked her if some of her friends decided to make a few sandwiches. She told me that Victor was the one who made them. Yea, cause my brother could eat an entire loaf of bread by himself. Does she think I'm as dumb as she looks? Then she had the audacity to call me stingy. I'm sorry but I prefer to save my money. If I buy something for me, then I'm the one that wants to use it. If I buy an entire loaf of bread (which by all rights would last me more than a week in packed lunches) then I should be able to use it for at least ONE FUCKING LUNCH! But no, I'm stingy. And what's even better is that she told me that I should have used the bread that was in the fridge. Well I would have if it wasn't hard as a rock. Its been in there for like a month and is stale as all get-out. So she got a real attitude with me as I walked downstairs asking if there was any food in there that was mine that she shouldn't eat. No, I learned my lesson. I can't buy food for myself anymore. Anything I want to buy for myself I have to keep locked...did you hear that? LOCKED in my room cause I can't trust them not to take it and use it up completely. Tampons, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, astringent...all kept locked in my room all day cause they will just come in and use whatever they like.
Am I wrong? Should I not feel as though it is a violation of my privacy that they just walk in my room whenever they want? Should I not be upset that they just take take take and not care that someone else actually pays for everything? Am I being a bad sister cause I don't want them taking things that I bought for myself?
