[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are very judgmental, that's a recipe for disaster.

Good parenting is about being curious, attentive, empathetic and flexible in guiding the kid you've been handed and the circumstances life throws your way.

I have learned there is always a good reason why people act the way they do.[/quote]

This is so tiring. There are positive behaviors in life and non positive behaviors in life. We don't have to indulge all behaviors. The sister sounds very annoying to be around. It's reasonable how to ask how to help your kids avoid this problematic behavior.[/quote]

It is tiring to people who have little mental flexibility and see things as black and white.

You are projecting and black and white. I'm sure OP cares about family members while also not wanting to raise a child with problematic behaviors. Even people who are this way don't want to hang out with each other. It's not an attractive behavior. [/quote]

I agree, being this judgmental and agressive is not attractive. I feel for OP's sibling, she got the short end of the stick with a hypercritical mother and sibling.

[quote]My sister is like this; my mom calls her an [b]"injustice collector"[/b] as she regularly comes to family gatherings and [b]blathers on[/b] about how "abusive" my mom and dad were to her as a child (spoiler alert: there was no abuse at all). Because of her [b]extreme sensitivity[/b], inflexibility, [b]selfishness[/b], and lack of empathy, my sister has had a [b]middling career[/b] and a [b]divorce[/b] (with no kids).
