When is enough, enough? (Family Venting Question)

[AdRock]

Good choice on telling her no. So what if they're mad at you, they'll get over it. Hell, tell them that DAD said no.

I wouldnt let my brother borrow my car much less my sister!

[Nash B.]

I haven't read the whole thread, but have you tried hitting her?

[TENGRAM]

I wouldnt let my brother borrow my car much less my sister!

but why would your brother want to borrow your sister??!

[krazy kris]

but why would your brother want to borrow your sister??!

solid, lol

[SNEAKY]

Hey Jeff, can I borrow your truck?

[zemog]

If she is using it to get to work, of course you should let her. She's finally getting on the right track, and you should support that. My $.02.

agree, she's family , thats all that matters for me

[ThreeFingerPete]

Not a chance in hell. Fuck ups can get bent.

[ELVIS]

I was just gonna get in before the edit!


FWIW I've lended vehicles, job leads, thousands of dollars, etc to family members when they've "needed it", nothing good has come from any of it, and I don't think I've got a thank you ever. In return I've got maybe $400 back, a few damaged vehicles, and I'm still the "instigator" of arguments according to some of my family. I can't win. It's no wonder why I spent Christmas on the beach in California with no family!!!

i lol'd a little on the inside.

god bless.

She is your sister & your family & blood! Stand by her & support her.My sister in Shrevport was given a $120,000 house while I got a acre of land with nothing on it. Am I mad, Hell no, Its my sis & I always have a soft spot for woman regardless

I'd rather have the acre of land anyway.

I'm sure she does, but my mother would like my sister to drive the truck. My dad said "dont let her drive it". She still lives her life in my truck. She'll smoke in it, she'll go wherever she wants in it and carry on. She wont care.

In that case...absolutely NOT!

[Jimbo]

Well, I told them no. Now they're all pissed off at me. Telling me to go fuck myself. Great.

If that is thier reaction, then you did the right thing.

[Jimbo]

Hell, I probably know better than anyone on this site what that is like.

I'm curious what un-credentials you have that make you think that?

[samuel642000]

My truck sits at my parents house while I'm deployed, and my sister doesn't have a vehicle. I have a feeling she is the same way as your sister, she asked to borrow it and since she takes care of nothing, smokes in vehicles, and has never driven a lifted truck(besides mine when I was with her on a dirt road) based on that I told her no, it was sitting at the house and no one was driving it.

I don't blame you for your decision, I would do the same.

[mustang_marc]

Personally, I think everyone has people in their family they wish they would grow up.

I think they try to help how THEY think they need help, whether that's right or wrong. I mean I would feel like shit if my sister actually lost the one job she likes and plans on keeping. But now I'll be the reason she lost it, and they'll both hate me if it happens.

Eff that. If she likes that job that much, she'll find a way up there. If she loses her job, it's her own damn fault.
