My little sister has decided that being a mom gives her the right to be a dictatorial bitch. She had another 'meltdown' a couple days ago because I wasn't helping her enough with the housework. For the record, I was doing math homework, and after I finished that I cleaned the cat box, mopped, vacuumed, made dinner and cleaned the kitchen, fed all the pets, then did my laundry. It's a small house, so that's like half of the housework. Having finished my allotted share of housework for the day I derped around the internet. What were her chores that day? Cleaning the bathroom (a fifteen minute job) and baby care, assisted by mom and our older sister. She started a ten minute tirade with "Oh my God! Maybe you don't know this but when they say having a baby changes everything they mean it!" and ended with "You never do anything around here!"
To which I wish I could have responded that I am not responsible for her pregnancy and only responsible for the baby when nobody else is available, and that she had no right to lecture the girl who always got in trouble when her sister was a lying, thieving delinquent for the past six years for 'not stopping her' or 'not helping her through a tough time' (Is that my job? No, and if I did try to get her to behave I got in trouble for upsetting or stifling her. Seriously.) about responsibility because I'd already had to deal with the consequences of her actions for the past several years, and the only thing having a baby changed is that now the only reaction I can have to her weekly 'nervous breakdowns' is stony silence, because saying anything will get me yelled at even more for being 'unsupportive'. Yes, I'm so unsupportive I drove her to her ultrasounds and continue to drive her to the pediatrician. I'm so unsupportive I helped her with the WIC paperwork, which again should have been mom/stepdad's job.
People wonder why I go out of my way to not interact with her. She does this when people don't do what she wants, even before she got pregnant. But if I point it out, I'm the bitch? Even if I point out the times she's done it to other family, friends, etc? I don't need to be ranted at like I'm in boot camp on a weekly basis just because I won't do her chores.
