My sister took on 3 courses at school, and works 1 full time job and 1 part time job. She then has to spend time with her boyfriend.
She finishes work tomorrow, then will be going to her boyfriends house, to lay around. She asked me to go to the next town over, and pick up her textbook becuse she wont have time.
I told her I already did my grocery shopping, and wont be going to town until Sunday when I work. I don't spend half a tank of gas for nothing, just so she can have a textbook.
She now is scremaing her head off, thumping up the stairs, saying she has so much to do and doesn't have time to get her books. I told her she took those on deal with it, I am not forking money out of my pocket, so she can get a book.
Now if I was going to town, it would be different, but I am not. My parents said the samething when she asked.

I think she and her boyfriend should go for a little ride...

That's what I said. Her boyfriend works days, he is off all afternoon. Why couldn't he do it?. We didn't sign up for the course, and she didn't want to spend $80 on a textbook yet you have to spend $50 in gas, you might as well get it ordered to the front door.

I would say I'll do it if you give me the gas money plus a little extra for my time, otherwise you do it yourself or have your boyfriend or his family get it for you.

Sounds like a real drama queen - I know a few. I'd just tell her to take her alleged textbook and shove it...
No one "has" to spend time with their boyfriends. It's not a requirement. If she wants to sit on her butt and do nothing and then mooch off of her sister, then she can not get a textbook. She has to learn to do things herself and put unnecessary problems aside at the same time.

She sounds like a spoiled brat. Screaming and carrying on like a 2 year old. Oh dear, a hard lesson for her to learn. Sounds like she needs to learn a few more lessons in life, like how to be nice to her sister - you.
I would try to be friendly to her, but not let her have her way. Sounds like she is used to having her way. So, focus on your jobs and what you want to accomplish in life, and allow her to learn to grow up and mature - by NOT giving in to her demands.
Glad your parents didn't give in to her. Perhaps, she can get her boyfriend to drive to town to pick up her textbooks. Not sure how long he will stay her boyfriend if she started yelling at him the way she yelled at you. She needs to learn to be more respectful of others, especially with her own family.

She is a completely different person around him, they have been dating 10 years, yet whenever she is around him I think wow who took my sister. They want to move in together (well she does), he has every excuse. I think once they move in together, it will fall apart. He thinks woman should in the kitchen cooking and cleaning. She cant cook nor clean, she leaves it for everyone else.
I told her it's not my problem, it's her book, she can go get it or not have it.

Wow! She needs to get her iwn books. It's her responsibility to go to the college bookstore. Books or boyfriend? Which is a priority? Since she never contributes to you for gas, I wouldn't go out of my way. I sound mean, don't I?

I think you're right. She decided to take on everything, she can't expect everyone else to do things for her. Why is she just laying around with her boyfriend if she needs a textbook? If her boyfriend gets mad that they spend no time together, then he's not a good boyfriend. She has to decide what she wants to do and if that's laying around with her boyfriend, then she should give something else up. She shouldn't have to have someone else do it, if she had managed her time correctly.

Her boyfriend didn't want her to take the courses, he is real controlling in that tye of way. He wont do anything for her, whether she asks or not. She doesn;t know any better because this is her first and only boyfriend. She just thinks it;s normal, that she drops hehr entire life, for him when it's convenient for him.
