[quote=Anonymous]Oh god - your sister drama makes my sisters look almost normal.

I typically either play Switzerland or tell someone they are being and idiot.

In the situation that mostly closely resembles this, I pulled oldest sister rank.  I basically said we were going to do it a certain way and if they didn't like, they could shut up and stay the fuck home.

Just a little backstory:  There was some squabbling over how much people would pay to go in on a house together for weekend celebration for my Dad's birthday.  It was essentially a fight over $17.  It was ridiculous.  My stepmom, god love her, was hearing it from all sides and my Dad started to hear about it.  The whole weekend was about celebrating my dad and having fun as a family -- so him hearing about any of it was a non-starter for me.

Basically, I told them I would cover the difference because they were so GD immature that they couldn't give an inch.  I also told them that they would show up to the weekend with a damn smile on their faces because if my Dad's weekend was ruined, there would be serious repercussions.

Honestly, it was a lot of blustering on my end but it worked because I'm the one who doesn't lose her cool or get angry.  There's really not a whole lot I can do to two grown women but sometime birth order just brings people into line.

If I were you, I'd just ask your Dad to move to DC and leave the morons in Florida.[/quote]
