Well, I am not sure what to do about my sister. Ummmm, lets call her RAT, I love her to bits, but lately she has really been getting on my nerves, its just the things that she does and the fact that she cires over anything, its not like she is really little, shes older than me, she's 22 and a PICES. I know that RAT has her own problems but I think she uses me as an excuse to cry about her other problems, so its like everyone thinks that I have done something wrong to her when I really haven't.
I don't mean to hurt her and I hate it when she's angry, with me. Right now RAT isn't talking to me, what should I do, I feel like I haven't done anything wrong, but she doesn't understand that the things she does and the way she behaves hurts and annoys me - what should I do?

My sister used to emotional to, sometimes they just go through alot of trouble and they need someone to turn to sometimes, one day she will be on her own and will take it out on other people than you, someday everything will change. Youre just family and thats what family does. [ advice15's advice column | Ask advice15 A Question ]

Mine's 19 and I'm 15. I swear, she acts like a 7 year old! She doesn't cook, she doesn't clean, she doesn't do anything! Okay, so when she's over from college and my parents are out, I end up doing all the cooking and clening up because she's too lazy. If no one cooks, she won't eat anything until someone brings her food. Not kidding. And she won't clean for her life. And she whines and pouts and complains and acts like a 5yr old if she doesn't get her own way one things.
What I found was to just let her have her fit and let her get over it. Until then, move on with what you're doing. And the next time RAT cries and blames it on you, ask her what's wrong and what you have done. Get through it, find the main reason, and point it out. Tell her that you're only trying to help and if she just dumps everything on you every single time, you just don't know what to do anymore. And then you start crying =P
