[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, this is OP. I took my dad out on a walk this morning and spoke to him.

I explained that I understand that this is not the best time in HS's life, and that I know life is complicated, unexpected things happen, and we all need to have empathy and show kindness to our fellow human beings, especially family.

He reiterated some of the HS problems; reminded me that she had a health issue a few years ago that required some gentle handling, and he and his wife coddled her, and he understands that that overprotective parenting caused her to become entitled and self-centered, and that he does not know what to do... He said, she finds DC boring (they went to a museum yesterday and are going to one today) and wants to spend a week or so in NYC while figuring out what to say to her husband when she comes back from her trip.

To that I said that (i) I do not need to know all of HS private information; (ii) I am very sympathetic, but do not see any of this as my action item; (iii) that "my bucket is empty"; I have nothing more to give to the situation, and (iv) sounds like HS going to NYC might be a good idea. He'll talk to her, but the preliminary plan is for them to stay over the weekend, go to my son's tournament, then go out for a meal. I'll be gentle and supportive. He would then take her to NYC Monday morning, and come back. [/quote]

Exactly my point you are hell bent on trying to paint poor HS as bad. Calling her self centered and entitled. This is your sister who is going through a bad time. You could try and be there for her. Stop being an a*especially
Gosh really feel do bad for her. All you are doing is trying to validate your own feelings by getting people to say negative things about her and how you are so gracious. Sorry OP not buying your bs[/quote]

OP has done plenty for someone who she *does not even know*, and who never made the effort to get to know her either-- and continues not to do so even as a houseguest!

HS needs to grow up, stand on her own feet, or at least rely on her mommy and daddy to cater to her and not make it her older sister's problem as well. [/quote]
