So my parents are on vacation for a few weeks and left my sister in charge, who just moved back from New York with her three kids (all under 4) after her divorce. I have two brothers at home too. I live at college.
I went home to check up on everyone and it was just a madhouse. My nieces and nephew were running around the house and my sister was facebook chatting the entire time. one of my niece came over and told me she was really hungry so I asked my sister if they ate yet, and she said she was going to make food but forgot (I'm assuming because she was so busy facebooking). So then I go downstairs to where my brothers are and the smell of alcohol was so strong that I felt like I was swimming in it. My brothers are all under 18. So then I hear a bunch of people in one of my brothers rooms and I went back upstairs to ask my sister if she knew who was all in the house.
And her answer was no. So I told her that it smelled like alcohol downstairs and asked if she knew if they were drinking. And she said no and went back to facebooking.
So this is the part where I started yelling. Basically said she needed to stop facebooking. Feed the kids. Stop letting random people into the house. And make sure people weren't drinking in the house, especially with little kids running around. And there was a lot of yelling and cursing, and then I left.
I called my little brother a little bit ago and he basically told me to "fucken stay out of it" because it's his personal life, blah, blah, blah which just pissed me off even more. You see, my little brother is the type of person where EVERYTHING is always about him and his personal life. After 18 years of hearing that, I'm pretty fed up.
How do I take control of the house (or at least try to manage it a little) while I'm still away at school?? I wouldn't care so much if my nieces and nephew weren't there...
