[quote=Anonymous]Clearly she needs help. And that help can only come when your parents stop supporting her. She has to come out of it on her own, to really understand what it takes to earn your living and be grateful for what she has. She's done it before, so she can do it again. Your parents need to stop enabling her. Can you have a talk with them? At the very least you need to be crystal clear with them that their retirement needs to be fully funded and everything budgeted before they give your sister the least little penny. You and the grandparents also have to draw strict conditions for financial help: if she finds a job, she can receive limited babysitting, help with summer camps for her children, etc. Otherwise, nothing. If your parents cannot stop, then the best you can do is disengage entirely. Don't be childish and disown anyone - but contact them only for important holidays and birthdays if that) and let the day-to-day drama go to voicemail. [/quote]
