    I know what you mean. My sis and I are like oil and water these days. She has habits and morals I can't agree with.. But I love her all the same.. She just bugs me. I can't do thighs the ways she does, cause in my mid, it's just not right.. But getting her to understand that is like pulling teeth! Lol

    Man, it bothers me when people post selfies on the PJ FB pages that are clearly just for attention/likes.

    I don't have Facebook ...so rather than posting selfies on their own Facebook pages they post their selfies on the PJ Facebook?

    Trying to figure out how my brother and I are sooo completely opposite. How did we end up having such different values. We are drifting farther and farther apart. He's someone I don't enjoy being around ((i'm sure he feels the same about me) Its sad really, but I'm just feeling like I don't want to try anymore.

    sooooo with you on this. I'm the youngest of 3. bro is oldest, then my sister. my bro is super religious, so there's that chasm between us, but we get along, and have the same sense of humour. but my sister is so classic middle child....always needing to be the best, incredibly needy and bossy. Finally one day I just said "fuck it, I don't give a shit anymore about family peace, she treats me like shit".

    at some point it's just not worth the drama. I keep telling my wife that when my parents are eventually gone, I wouldn't be surprised if I rarely, if ever, speak to or see my siblings ever again. And I'm actually ok with that.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Don't give up on them. My younger brother and I went through that. I am much more liberal and believe in strict gun control among other things. He is a die hard gun nut that thinks everyone should be packing at all times. It took some time but we finally agreed to disagree and just to not discuss some of those things. Now I am closer with him than ever and talk every couple of days.

    Now If I could get my little sister to do the same her and my relationship might be better.

    for me it's not about values. my brother and I can get past that. it's my sister and the way she treats people. I just can't put up with it anymore just to keep my parents happy.

    I've come to the realization that I shouldn't make my life miserable just to have a relationship with someone for no other reason than them having the same parents as I do. I just don't like her as a person.

    Sometimes just walking away actually is what gets through go them. We collectively had to cut off communication with our older sudtrr( the oldest), cause she did this too. It was like you could feel the life getting sucked out if you. She has finally seemed to get it. So, I really hope you can keep faith that there HS done good still in there. So many people take so much from their siblings in the name of not hurting mom and dad. That's really not fair. You should be allowed and it understood that joy have every right to defend or protect yourself from being taken advantage of it made to be miderabke. If you have done all you can, then it's on her. Hope things can get better there. I couldn't imagine life without my siblings.. Even IF they drive me nuts sometimes!

    Same here. I only see my sister when I have to (holiday family dinners), because she has just become a mean snotty bitch too often for me to take it. She also treats our mother very poorly (my mom comes to my house and cries about it - it makes me FURIOUS). So yeah, I have no qualms having next to nothing to do with her. I don't want someone like her in my life. I will, however, deal with the small amount of contact we do have entirely for my mother's sake (and I do a damn good job). I will ALWAYS do it for my mom (since obviously my mom isn't going to cut her own daughter out of her life, no matter how much of a c**t she is. Unconditional love on my mom's part). But once Mom's gone, the only way I'd have anything more to do with my sister is if she somehow becomes a much better human being, which is hard to imagine, since she's already in her 40s and just keeps getting worse, not better. It sucks - I would love to have a sister I don't think is a bitch. But I don't.

    This idea that we should keep trying and trying to get along with awful people just because they're family makes no sense to me at all, frankly.

    What's in my mind, is how amazing it is to rather sit in my car, and maybe smoke a bowl in the parking lot, waiting to pick someone up from a bar, to get a ride back home to Pueblo. I have never been able to sit out a beer. I just turned down a free beer, and am sitting here posting this, waiting for the ones I'm driving for to finish THEIR free beers. Apparently a guy in the bar ( a regular) is infamous for drinking a bottle of Jameson to his head, one shot at a time..) is drink enough to be buying beers.

    Posting here is much better, thanks!

    I'm proud of you for turning down the free beer. Truly.

    Got 'done' with taxes...just need to do the double check and send it off.

    Now I'm thinking, 'what the hell can I toss/shred'? I'm drowning in so much paper, and I feel like I can't get rid of it because TurboTax asked me questions that I had to find on papers that were from 10 years ago...

    i swear to god I hate turbotax more and more every year. I said this last year, but THIS time I MEAN it - next year I'm gonna just pay a tax guy to do it.
