Default Do you have a sibling that just ticks you off ?

I have a younger sister who is just so frustrating. She is the youngest of 6 kids and over the years she has taken advantage of it. At one point I lent her an Escort that I had and she blew the clutch and brought it back without even telling me. She never really had a good job, or at least a job that she could support herself so she lived with my mother. My mother decided that she wanted to buy a house. At the time, she didn't want my younger sister to go with her, nor did she want her to be homeless so my mom decided to give her the trailer. Now this thing was in nice shape and had all newer appliances, which my mom left, as well as most of the furniture. My sister destroyed the place in less than 2 yrs and when she was done got $500 for it, and pocketed the money.

From there she lived with a guy, had his baby and then found herself homeless. So guess what, my mom bought her another trailer. My sister complained that she lived so far away (which was great) and was having problems finding someone to watch her son (who is a nightmare). So my mom felt she needed to help and started watching her son.

Fast forward a couple of years, over which I have personally bought her a car, my brother has helped her with cars and she has used everyone of us to the point that we wouldn't answer the phone if she called. My sister is again living with my mother, and my mother is paying all the bills and raising my sister's son, while my 40 yr old sister is working as a food sampler at a warehouse store.

Yesterday, my sister posts that her car has died. Now my mother has a 2006 Saturn View that has less than 20,000 miles on it, and we all know that she is going to get my mom to let her drive it, and destroy it. My moms View still has the new car smell, she changes the oil every 3 months no matter what, every 2 yrs she has replaced the tires, my mom is anal when it comes to her cars. I asked my sister if she has any leads on a car, she was put off, she said I still don't know what I am going to do with the old one. If it was me, I would have been on the computer searching out a car, wouldn't you be ?

It doesn't end there. Today this same sister, posted on FB, didn't call anyone, not even my brother, that "Mom's house has no Heat" and it is 10 degrees outside. WHAT ? You didn't even think to call your mechanic brother who has just rebuilt his whole house. NO, cause she wants to control everything that my mother does. The service tech got her heat on, but told her that she needs to replace her furnace. I talked to my brother and he is going to get ahold of one of his heating and cooling friends and we are going to see what we can do to help out mom.

I am sorry that you have to read this. I just don't know what to do. My mom is my best friend, but she doesn't see how she is being used so badly. UGH !!!! I am just so frustrated.
