Im 17 year old and want my 15 year old sister to live with me?

I understand your plight because my younger sister came to live with me around that age because my parents were unfit to take care of her. We couldn't afford for her to live with us either but we made it work out because we had to. I have to say your sister is being ungrateful to put it mildly.

I think she is acting out but that is no excuse for her rude and disrespectful behavior. My question is why is she being allowed to decide where she wants to stay? She is a child and the choice should not be hers to make in the first place.

I know that you don't want her to live with you because of her verbal abuse to your son and her messy ways so this is what I would do. Lay down rules for her. Tell her this is how it is going to be at my house and if you don't follow them you are out.

Don't let her use your house as a hotel where she can come and go as she pleases. The days that she doesn't have school she should be working to help out with the expenses. She needs to know that living with you is a privilege and not a right.

If her attitude is really that nasty she will want to because she won't want to follow any rules. If she wants to be treated like an adult then act like one. Responsible adults work and pay for their expenses.

It seems harsh but your are being put in a position where you are the parent and the sister. Younger sister's try to take advantage of that sibling relationship. You have to be the parent in this situation and put your foot down and tell her exactly how things are going to be.

In regards to your son, that talk from your sister is unacceptable and should be stopped immediately. Name calling of a 3 year old are immediate grounds for being kicked out. I would also tell that social worker that she needs to come and pick your sister up or contact her supervisor about her lack of fulfilling her duties.

I am also sorry to say that her dad is not going to help out with her because if he was a responsible adult then she would be living with him right now. I hope this answer gives you some guidance in the steps you should take with your sister. Good Luck!

If it is DCF or CPS then hound them about finding her a place. She is wreaking havoc on your home. She is jealous of your son and she feels entitled to have it her way.

She is disrespecting you and your son. It is his home. He should not have to be at risk physically or emotionally in his own home.

Our home is our safe haven. I'm sorry for your sister, but not at your son's expense. You have to put him first now.

Help her get help. Her social worker will have other options and even if they aren't as "convenient" as living with you, she will be better off learning now, that she must obey rules and be respectful when she is living somewhere besides her own home. It's not too late for her to learn it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
