Hey!
I am going to Dublin on Monday and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with any of the following....
Are there any good craft stores I should check out? (I am living in Italy right now and they don't really have anything)
Does anyone know of a theatre that is doing a midnight showing of Hunger Games? (12 a.m. Friday morning)
Can anyone recomend any good places to eat...a littel off the beaten track is good.
This sounds really stupid, but does anyone have a good Spa or salon they can recomend?
Are there any good stores you can think of that sell clothes for "curvier" women?
Anything else you can think of or recomend would be deeply appreciated.
Thanks!!!!

Yeah don't worry about it, chances are they will have changed their minds by the time they get to college (and then a few more times once they are there) be yourself, you don't have to base your life and decesions on what others are doing take it slow kiddo, you will figure it out!

First of all, Annie Happy Birthday! I hope the day didn't turn out as bad as you thought it would. if it did may I suggest having a birthday take 2? maybe just you and your boyfriend going out for the night and doing stuff together, celebrating your birthday, and enjoying the guy that sticks by you through all the crap your family put you through. second, and I know this would be difficult, but kick your sister out. yeah sure, it might cause some hard feeling with your family for a while. but it already sounds like there is some issues going on, I mean how much worse can it get? you need to focus on YOU and your boyfriend. I feel your pain in some many ways. but the first step towards a better tomorrow is to be able to take care of YOUSELF today. you have every reason to kick your sister out, and if anyone complains you can say "look, she didn't pay the rent etc, etc. Right now things are overwhelming and I need to focus on getting my life straightened out before I can take on this drama" to soften the blow for your sister and mom, you might say (even if you don't mean it) that you would be willing to maybe take you sister back in the future, but as of right now you have too much on your plate. your sister is a big girl and she needs to move on. maybe she is jealous of you, I mean look who has a boyfriend and her own place? she is the older one, and yet she is calling mommy every time things don't go her way? kicking her out will help her grow up, and it will help your self confidence. standing up for yourself even on small issues can be a great boast to your morale. when you have confidence, you will feel like you can tackle anything. the people around you will be affected in positive way, and whether they know it or not will respond to you more positively too. I hope everything works out for you, feel free to write me if you want. again Happy Birthday!

There is a lot I can relate to in your post. My younger brother and I were often at war, he was obnoxious and expected everyone in the family to just step in line with his whims and demands. if we didn't he would throw a fit or play martyr. he had no family loyalty and would often stay up to the later hours on the phone with people he just met to tell them I was a horrible person. I was told I had to get a job before college to help pay for things. I put out 20+ applications with no hits, and was nagged "why haven't you got a job yet?" (I finally did) he on the other hand had a expense paid summer of goofing around. he hand a car handed to him when he was 18, I had to wait till I was 21. to make matters worse my grandmother who HATES me, decided a used car wasn't good enough for him because he was going to start college and went out and bought him a new one! totally ignoring the fact I didn't have a car, was working hard and being responsible while he partied and racked up speeding tickets! then he met this totally ho-ho (not the Santa kind ;) and was willing to sacrifice everything to be with her, even if that meant it would ruin his life (he had only known he for a couple of weeks. she was horrible and just used him. I could write a book on how horrible he was. plus a lot was going on in my life to add the stress, three relatives died in a period of less the six months. my best friend decided that a guy she had just met was more important to her than being my friend and totally said screw you and dropped me on my birthday, this was a week after my Nana died. ugh, it was horrible.
anyway things have changed a lot since then, I am not going to say he still isn't demanding and obnoxious, but he has gotten a lot better. he started college and I think that the separation has helped everyone in our family. I was at the point that if he died I wouldn't care, now things are a lot better. the space really helped. I got in a really horrible car wreck a few months ago, and he dropped everything and drove six hours to see me.
things I can suggest.
don't stoop to his level. they love it when you retaliate because they know they are hitting a nerve. they crave your attention, because really deep down inside they know they are pathetic and they want to feel superior.
don't try to correct him on anything, let him go. by correcting him, you are paying attention to him. he craves attention (even the bad kind)you can do more damage to him by ignoring him than by correcting his ignorant or obnoxious behavior.
do your own thing. go out, have a life. don't follow in his footsteps by doing the same behavior. he can't say "well you don't have a job etc. so who is the loser now?" if you do. Plus you are showing that his behavior is not affecting your life.
a lot of this falls on your parents though. they need to come to the place where they need to stand up and put their foot down and kick him out. if and when they do it will be the best thing for him. If you feel like you are in a position where you can talk to them you should. Be very mature about it, don’t do things that would lower yourself to his level.
be the good kid. I know it's hard. but if you help out around the house and are responsible, you parents will notice. plus when he says "why can't she do it?" you can say "hey I already did such and such."
hang in there girl, it might be awhile, but all good things come to those who wait. feel free to write to me if you need someone to talk to, to let it out :) hope this didn’t sound too cliche. I jus thave been where you are, and this is what I have found.
