So selfish

Today, my family yelled at me for being a "selfish disappointment." My crime? Not being able to help my sister's boyfriend do his homework while I'm working on my class finals. FML

Today, I was grounded by my mom because I had slept in past 11, when she wanted me to wake up at seven to do chores. According to her logic, I should have seen the note she left on the counter earlier this morning. FML

Today, my little sister asked what the noises were last night. It happened to be my dad and his girlfriend fooling around. I ended up telling her it was ghosts. Now I'm grounded by my dad who yelled at me for scaring her. I was trying to save his ass from a lot of questions. FML

Today, I checked my sister's diary, because I was worried about her recent angry and withdrawn behavior. She caught me in the act, and my mom, whom I've caught blatantly snooping through my stuff multiple times now, grounded me for my "disgusting" violation of my sister's privacy. FML

Moving out - as your username suggests - might be the best for you and your little sister.

That's rather annoying of them. I suggest you explain that you would help her learn it but you will not do it for her as she will not learn anything that way.

Ooh, a Vincentian, used to live there when I was young. My dad (native to there) just flew back a week ago. I haven't been in years though, I really want to visit again.

I would just do her homework then get every answer wrong so they dont ask me any more.

It would be in your little sisters interest to do her homework. Unless her plan is to be a gold digger.

How is she gonna learn without repetition? Which is all homework is: ingraining the point home. Make her a real scholar, because you are not around! ......then mom will do it.

How do they expect her to learn? To be ready to move out and into the big world?
