[quote=Anonymous]Our parents try almost daily to have me give her "talks" honestly I could talk until I lost my voice. She will never listen. She has no concern for others, Credit cards are all maxed out, checking account is almost empty. Lives with our parents and doesn't pay a cent. Dates men who have her pay for things for them.

I've told them, she'll do what she wants to do until someone kicks her out. Yes, she's in college but they are paying for half. They want me to force her to become another me. I always earned my things, she was always given them. "She doesn't understand things like you and so you had to earn it" Ok Fine, It made me who I am.

And that's never going to happen if she continues.We are both very different people.  At her age I was working three jobs and attending school part time. I needed those jobs because I paid for all my college, books, a room, food, public transport(No car!). And here's my sister who bought a 30k car and will not have enough money next month to pay it. This is after she destroyed her first car that my parents bought for her.  Even though my parents cover insurance she can't save enough to pay the car. We are just different people with different ways of living. All I can do is give her advice, I can't force it.

Anyways this is more of a vent. I told them to let her dig this hole and learn from it. They handed her everything she needed to avoid her having meltdowns and now they see what its created. I think its just time to cut strings and force her out. [/quote]
