Upset

[taybrian1]

This might seem petty, but it's big to me.

My sister absolutely will not go to the midnight show with me. She knows I don't have any friends in town, my coworkers all said no, and that my drivers test didn't go as planned. Still, she says it's because she has to work early in the morning.

This would be a good excuse except...she's lying. She went out with guys last week until 2 or 3 in the morning and she had to get up even earlier the next day. I know the truth. It's not the time, it's me. She doesn't want to do this because she can control me. I have to pay for the tickets, the candy, and probably even the gas it takes to get there. (We don't live that far.) All she has to do is enjoy the show. Now she gets to decide when I get to see it. Knowing her, it's going to go bad.

(BTW, she also sent a text to my other sister while we were at a ballgame yesterday for our birthday. I was sitting between them and they wouldn't show me. They just kept looking at me and laughing. The one that wrote it said something horrible about me, I just know it.)

I might not be a guy, I might not buy her alcohol, and I might not be as fun as them. Why can't I just have quality time with my sister without her completely taking it over? What's wrong with me?

ahh sibling love. The more the deal you make of it the longer she will feed on not taking you. Best bet is to wait till the weekend or when you both have time (say when she gets off of work some evening). Just remember you dont have control over her either so she really doesn't "have" to do anything :P

Wow...talk about sharing what's on your mind.

Does it really matter? Just go see the film on your own. It's not like you're going to have a conversation during the movie.

It's no fun to see something when you can't laugh about it afterward. Plus, I don't have my drivers license. I couldn't get to a theater if I wanted to.

Your enjoyment of a movie is dependent on her being there? Didn't think so. Suck it up and go watch the damn movie if you wanna see it.

How am I supposed to get there? I don't have my license (long story) and I really shouldn't be walking along the side of the road after midnight.

When you feel it's hard to get along with them, it might be about time to start living on your own. You might want to have some comfy time for solely yourself, without worrying about what family members think of you.

I agree, especially when things are abusive. Look around. See if you can perhaps find a low rent apartment near your job. Find someone who is also looking for an apartment (even just a co-worker) to room with to share costs. And I think in a way this could be a really great experience for you, Tay. Something to give you the chance to be seen higher in the eyes of your family, as you're showing them you can live on your own. Sometimes it bums family when they suddenly realize you don't have to depend on them for things Turns the tables a bit

As for the driver's license, Tay, don't feel bad: I'm 28 and I've never had one. I never saw the point (it's a catch 22 with me...need car to bother getting one...need to get one to bother getting a car... O_O ). And I think in big cities, a lot of people don't even bother since those places have mass transit (a friend in San Fran used to ride the tram to work every day). I don't know if you live in a place like that, but if you do, then you really don't need a DL. Busses work just fine.

Oh and the movie business: I wouldn't bother asking again. If she wants to be like that, to hell with her. Go yourself sometime. Have fun. Find a way to go that doesn't depend on family (taxi or bus if available in your area...save up the money for it if need be). I know going alone might not seem fun, but you'll be in the theater with other fans who want to see the movie, so that will make up for it a little bit. You might even find a person you want to talk to later (a potential friend ).

Anyways, I better stop typing before I write a book (an old habit, but one that's very hard to break, I'm afraid). Laters
