My sister entered my room and immediately open my cabinet trying to get something from there. I said "what are you getting there?" she said "she will borrow something from me." but why didn't she say and ask because she knock on the door and I opened it and she didn't even ask just go there to the cabinet and get something. this is really irritating and people like these really have no respect. If I will do that to her she will get angry.

At first, my sister and i really had fights every time she gets or should say steal my dresses and shirts without my permission. but as time passes by, i get used to it already and just understands why she is doing this. since we are sisters, we should share and also, she is busy with her masters so she don't have a time to go the mall and do shopping.

i was really irritate by my sister because i was already there she can ask permission but even if i was there she immediately go to the cabinet and get it. she could have asked i have no problem with borrowing that thing..it was just an eyelash curler but the it was irritating because she didn't care to ask. in the past also some of my sisters just took clothes without permission but nowadays it's not happening anymore..

i believe there is a communication gap between you and your sister

When I lived with three other girls, one of them would always take my things without even thinking to ask whether it was alright for her to do so first. The thing is, when she took things like my pens, paper, and food, it meant that I would then have to spend a lot more money replacing the things that she had taken, and this was not good as I was a student at the time and not really able to afford the things that she was taking from me in the first place. Talking to her about it never worked, and I have to say that I was just incredibly relieved when I moved out again.

that can also be irritating too..also sometimes my sisters took things and even if you tell them about it..it seems they will not listen and understand but just keeps doing it...they certainly have no respect..also i feel it;s better if they are not around or we are not around them so they cannot abuse or disrespect us all the time by continously taking our things without permission..

It's really very irritating when someone borrows your stuff without first asking for you permission. If they weren't my siblings, I would've probably reported them to the police or anyone with authority to put them in custody even just for a while. I know it may sound extreme but getting things that are not yours is just the same as stealing, and sometimes I feel that they should be taught a lesson.

that is right every person taking things without permission should be thought a lesson in order that they may not do it again or so that they may not continously abuse and disrespect us by doing this thing all the time.

I have the same sentiment as you.I am the eldest of three siblings our youngest is a boy so I don't have problems dealing with him on my personal belongings like dress, make ups, bags etc. I have a sister who is very particular on what she would look like physically.And she borrows from me from time to time.She asks for permission though there are times that she is not!!She lost weight after giving birth and to tell you honestly she was a little obese when we were kids till the time before she got pregnant So i can't borrow clothes from her because it will not surely fit me I am a bit bigger so now that she lost weight she borrows clothes from me now and there are times that she would borrow bags from me.There is just one word that I am always telling her :" take care of my things I bought them " and she's good to go :)

i also hate it too when people borrow my things and return it with defects or it is already messed up. it always happens in the past that my sisters took things like clothes and used it without permission. i really hate this to happen.

No one wants to be invaded. I also hate it when someone took my things first before asking if I they can borrow it.

You're right, I also hate it when people get my things without my permission. I used to have this big quarrel with my sister-in-law because she entered my room when I wasn't home and used my recording-tape. But now we're alright, and she knows what I like and dislike. :)

I definitely understand your agony on it, no one will be happy when someone is getting their personal things specially without permission, I usually gets mad with my mom every time she borrows things from me without even asking me.. Maybe there are those people who are just comfortable doing that..

There is no better way than confronting your sister and telling her what you feel, and there should be restrictions in terms of your stuff and hers, but on the contrary, being sisters the leniency, patience and tolerance should be observed, and should any conflict arise, hopefully you can settle among yourselves, otherwise there should be a third party intervention to settle things, i.e. your mom.

I think everyone does, it's something really unconsiderate and annoying to do because people can't just come and grab our things, it's just rude. How about taking and never returning? That one actually makes me go insane, I gave up on giving up, now I always take it back it doesn't matter what it takes. When we are the ones that let go there are people from time to time that get used to just taking so we need a limite.

Tell your sister that is not ok for her to come over and think she has the right to take anything without getting your permission in advance. I have been thru that myself. Not with a family member. She needs to know that she has no right to go anywhere and think she has the right to borrow anything of anyone's. Some once told me, if you want to use something all you have to do is ask. He does not live buy that rule. Not a lot of people do what they say to others.

I think everyone of us really hate it. No one would allow that their stuff is in the hands of other people. Particularly, If the things that they would get is the most precious one. I used to curse other people who do it, but I came up with a realization that there are some times that I get the stuff of others too without their permission.

I used to live with other student girls for years when I was in college. We always agreed that we won't take anything from each other without permission and it usually worked. I had a roommate though who didn't feel like those rules applied to her. She took my bag and sometimes clothes without letting me know, I was shocked. I think you should tell your sister that she has to ask first. Maybe you are lenient, but if she will do this with others, that might cause troubles.
