Stuff it in their faces. They are miserable and want you to be miserable. Don't give it a second thought. What is that saying? Can't live with them, can't eat them.

Maybe seeing you handle your life this well is reminding them that they could do alot better with what they have.

In my limited experience this would be the reason I would go with as well.

I have raised 4 children. 2 of my own and 2 step children. Mine were grown and gone when I took on two adolescent boys. (What was I thinking). Funny how there seems to be one in each set that is like you. Great managers, hard workers, and they actually have a life of their own. And the other 2 who want something for nothing. They are miserable children who never seem to be happy no matter what you do for them. And the more you do for them the less they have. I am also guessing that your mom and your sister are closer than you and your mom. I am thinking birds of a feather.

Funny!! :yuckyuck

Abie, I can relate. Sometimes I get tired of my siblings playing the woe is me card. We grew up in the same house with the same experiences, opportunities etc... Their lives are directly related to the choices they made. How is that my responsibility? They have no idea what I do or how I take care of my self and my family. They are in no position to judge.

:barnie

Sorry, I hope things get better. Like my Momma always says. "Kill them with kindness!!"
