Bad day

[chaoswolf]

Today was a bad day for me to move. I swear, I never should've gotten out of bed this morning. I mean, Emmy comes in to irritate me about Phil, Kezzie, Drake, Yllys, and Nicole being here around 1120. I ignore her for about five minutes while she bugs me, then go downstairs to keep flower_cat company. Keep that up until misdev, Justin, and synkitty show up, then play Munchkin w/ misdev and Justin. When Kim gets here, they hang out for a bit logner, then take off themselves. I go upstairs and try to avoid my sister (who at this point was out back playing with the big kids). I play on my computer for about an hour or three, then get irritated again by the little obnixoius sibling who is bitching about me not wanting to game with them. I attempt to explain, but it goes over her head because she's young & doesn't get things. I get a phone call from Craig, and Emmy still annoys me by sitting in my room while uninvited in the first place. I finish that, then go bitch at her. The words turn into a full scale fight lasting into dinner when mdlbear arrived...and then...it just got worse. She didn't speak to me for a good portion of the evening, which was fine by me...then I got to game for a bit with asahoshi which was the best part of the night. Afterwards, Emmy & I got into another fight about 18 minutes ago where she wouldn't turn down her speakers for her computer and had my books on the floor of her room. I swear, I'm probably going to wind up sleeping outside just to avoid her....(It's okay, I've got a tent!)

Ok. I gave your sister my take on her side

Your side is that you're not obligated to be with your sister all the time. It's good (really) to have time together, but it's also good to have time apart. You don't need to justify that, but it would probably help if you can express your desire for that clearly and politely. She is younger than you, but not so young that a firm, polite, persistent "NO" won't work. (See sdorn's comment on your sister's blog.)

I'm not clear, from descriptions, whether you were asking your sister to make excuses for you from the others' company. That would be a bit more than she should be forced into, if so. (No big deal on that, just a small mistake in procedure)

I haven't been asking Emmy to make excuses for me, just been trying to give her the explination as to why I refuse to game with them. She doesn't listen....

Well, in simple terms it is "I don't want to", which for a leisure activity is all the justification you need. Any more than that does leave you open for debate and also may hint that you secretlyl want to be argued into it.

She would not listen when I gave her tha answer the last time...

Yea, she needs to learn a few things, but that's why she's the younger one. I've been on both sides of that, and now have to parent through it with kids who, like you, only have direct experience of one side. Take a zen hug, and try to accept the disadvantages of being expected to be more mature. (Actually being more mature IS an advantage, expectations are a bear.)

Sorry

I can only say I'm sorry so manny times before it loses meaning........SORRY!

Re: Sorry

[chaoswolf]

You're right. Then, you can forget about all of this, make up your mind to do it again, annoy the hell out of me some more, then decide to start apologies all over again. Me forgive you, then do it again.....
