things that annoy me.

1. the cd player in my car has not worked since march. why? because my nephew shoved multiple cds in it. and i don't feel like dishing out money to have it fixed. i brought it up to my sister, hoping she would offer to get it fixed and instead she copped an attitude and was all "well, your SON was supposed to be watching him."

2. i had friends over last weekend for drinks and my sister and her husband wanted to come over, too. i told her that was cool but that i didn't want them to stay the night. again, she copped an attitude and was all "uh, well we wanted to drink and not drive home." so, of course, i just back off and lay down like a fucking doormat.

3. then, because i am already annoyed at the situation, i get myself further annoyed because they decided they needed to shower before they went home. so now, on top of having to wash all the sheets and shit, i also have to wash more towels.

4. i am annoyed at myself for actually being annoyed at number three.

your sister sounds like a peach. all of those would piss me off.

[walterismydog]

Those all annoy me too.

[iamgrace]

Fuck your sister.

Don't wash the sheets or towels. Maybe they won't stay over next time.

I want to take over your body, Freaky Friday style, and yell at pretty much everyone in your family.

In your defense, #3 is compounded by 1 and 2. All the small crap adds up and then everything about a person is worth b!tching about.

this would definitely have its merits.

i tried so hard to let her know i didnt want her to stay over.

the conversation went like this:

sister: so, we're going to get there around 930.

me: alright, but you're not staying over, right? michael has a lot of studying and is really stressed and i don't want to compound that.

sister: uh, but we wanted to drink.

me: well, i really don't want anyone to stay over because michael has a lot to do and i don't want to get in the way. i'll be leaving to go to dad's as soon as i get up.

sister: well, we don't want to drive after drinking. we won't get in the way.

me: ummm...well...he really needs to not be interrupted.

sister: we won't. we're just going to get up first thing in the morning and leave.

i'm just not sure how to assert myself without being a total cunt. i mean...i thought i was making it clear that i didn't want them to stay the night. and she just didn't care and i wasn't up for an argument.

i suck.

You could just yell "THEN DON'T DRINK!"

That's not cunty, is it?

i thought about it, because that seemed the obvious answer, but my sister is so snotty sometimes and i don't do well with the weirdness that will ensue because i was being realistic and shit.

next time i invite her to come, i will be more upfront about not staying the night. as in "hey, we'd love to have you come but not to spend the night."

ok, yeah...i probably won't say that. i'll think of something else.

damn, i am such a pussy!

[sprky79]

The one being cunty here is not you. You get that, right?

Next time make sure she undersrands you are not hosting a slumber party. The worst thing that will happen is she will get mad. So what. People get mad. They get over it, too :-)
