Your sister sounds like a brat and she has learned that when she whines to any of the adults in your family she gets what she wants. ANd guess what they are enabeling her bad behavior by giving in to her. It is obvious that they get so angry, they hate it too, but they take it out on you. It really sucks. And no your dad should not be kicking you under any circumstances. What is up with him...bringing home ice cream one minute then getting angry and kicking you the next.
Well you do need a better way to handle this. Stay out of your sisters way, don't let her get to you, your older than her and you know better. Sure she is annoying, but if you get angry and react to her, then you are acting just like the adults. You will see if the whining and teasing and sassy talk don't work on you, she will stop. And the next time your parents get angry over her whining and crying, and they are mad at everyone and anyone except the kid who is doing the whining, then say. Dad, you get angry when she whines, you are just re=inforcing her behavior, or you are enabling her. She'll never stop. She has learned that she gets her way every time she does that.
Maybe it will bring some sense to their brains.
Meanwhile, don't act like her, and don't copy her.
She is the one who is going to be without friends. when she finds out that whining stuff doesn't work in the real world. Friends and acquaintences DO NOT have to put up with it. I read a lot of postings in this site from girls who are sick to death of their whiny friends and end up dropping them. And then there are the girls who write and ask....my friends are mad at me, I don't know why, maybe I whine a lot, but I don't know why no one will talk to me.
THey know, they just don't want to admit it.
You hang in there, you are a sensible girl, eventually you will grow up and you can leave home and leave them to themselves. Nothing is more important than your dignity and mutual respect. Your parents should respect you, and each other and everyone in the house and everyone in turn should be made to show respect to each other. Your parents are on the wrong track.
GOod luck to you Honey
