tired
Not a good day for me. Just got yelled at and told I'm a controlling bitch and an asshole. Why?
Because I told my sister that I am not her maid and she needs to clean up her own mess. That garbage goes in the trash, not on floors and counters. That dishes go in the sink, not scattered all over the kitchen. That she needs to run water in her sticky dishes and close down things like brown sugar so they don't attract bugs. That lights are to be turned off when nobody is using them so we don't waste electricity. The shower needs turned all the way off so water isn't wasted. That the linen closet door needs closed and latched so nobody gets hit with it.
She's 45 years old. My five-year-old nephew can do most of these. Autism aside,she is capable of these basic living skills!
Am I being controlling and/or unreasonable?
I'm worn out. I've been barely hanging on for over a year now and a big part of me is tempted to change all the locks when she's imposing on someone else and put her crap out on the curb. I'm so sick of having to walk behind her and pick up after her. I won't do it, but I want to. Especially after dealing with another tantrum in which I've been called names and once more told his worthless I am.
