I've been visiting my friend Katie for almost six weeks. During that time I've felt like a slave to her little sister. She wants me to play dolls with her every day and personally I think i'm getting to old for that sort of thing. And if Katie and I want to go out to eat or whatever her little sister always gives us a lecture about how she doesn't like being alone. Over the course of my visit I've felt like I just spent about 370 dollars for nothing but to come here and be a slave to Katie's little sister. Katie and I are planning to go visit her grandmother sometime next week and of course her little sister has to come along. Personally I feel Katie's mom and grandma should have asked us if we wanted her little sister to come with us. Next week is my last week with Katie for who knows how long and we have to spend about three days of it playing with her little sister. It seems like her sister gets her own way all the time and we're tired of it!
That sucks. Kids usually do get their own way sometimes, especially if you guys are a lot older. The parents might expect you to want to play with her and just be helpful. It's not right, but I don't know what you could really do about it. Could you try to tell Katie to say something to her parents about it? Because it wouldn't really be your place to do that, but if she could say something that might help. Or it could make things worse, depending on the parents' reaction. That's my 2 cents.
At this child's age, she wants to be included in everything older kids are doing. Why the hell aren't the parents spending any time with her, and where are they?
That's what I'd like to know as well.
Once in a while, it wouldn't kill you to pay attention to her. For christ's sake people!
that's not the point. the point she's making, is the little kid is always with them. her and katie never get grown up time, from what I can understand of it. I am not there, however, I may be wrong about the whole thing. I'm only saying what I see in the matter.
once in a while is one thing, but by reading post 1 it looks like this kid's always there with them. two friends maybe want and need some time together doing the things people of their age do. plus it looks like these two don't see each other often, so it's just their right to be with each other while they can, while maybe the kid's parents take care of her?
I agree with Lori 100%.
I hadto send three days of my lst wee keeping Katie's little sister out of trouble The only time she didn't try to stop us froming goig anyware was on Saturday because she had a bunch of friends over.
oh my gosh. here we go again. you and katie are perfect for each other. ehhehe boo hooing about a little kid on public boards, how the freaking old are you/ Grow up, it's a part of life. hehehehe! Ever stop and think maybe she looks up to her big sister and friend. i'm beginning to wonder why. but she does! your adults, act like it!
. it's not going to hurt you to play dolls with her once in a while. Your never to old to entertain a little kid. Maybe she don't like staying home alone. She has every right to voice that to you, all kids want to go when you leave. You just have to learn to play the adult and tell her not this time. I do think you could involve her in some things you do. Isn't katies grandma, her grandma too? Of course she is going to go along. Why wouldn't she?
Seems like you guys have a lot of growing up to do. Rant over, Wait no rant not over. How old is Katie/ How old is her little sister/ I seem to remember a board Katie started, about her being scared to stay home alone. hehehehe And now your boo hooing because someone many years younger than you guys don't like it either? wow!
Done now!
Katie's sister is probably around so much because it keeps the ball rolling as far as Katie's water conservation movement is concerned. If her sister wasn't so intrusive, she might actually have time to bathe.
Now, this is not the bashing people board! However, I agree with shea.
Battle Star queen, there's the word battle in your name, so you and Katie ought to battle your ways away from the house in which her sister and other relatives reside if you don't wish to have the problems which you and her experience in that house.
Shawna has a valid point. It's good to play with her sometimes, but every day is so rediculous. I love her, and I've dedicated quite a lot of time to her. But all in all, shawna's right.
If you lived elsewhere, you could visit your family occasionally and play with your sister. You wouldn't have to play with her all the time. I believe that all the problems you have at home will continue to exist for as long as you live there, and if you have not the ability but do have the desire to leave home, your friends should care about you enough to make that possible.
After I get my associates degree, I am planning to move to new york so I can see Shawna. I have very few friends in Oklahoma, so I think moving out of state would be the best.
