I’m a 33-year-old woman and recently I bought my first house. It has 3 bedrooms, a yard and is just what I need right now. I’m single and have 2 dogs.
My sister is 35, has 3 children and lives in a 2 bedroom apartment. When she found out about the house I had bought, she became very upset and told me I was being “wasteful” as I’m single and don’t have kids and therefore don’t need such a big space. I reminded her that what I do with my hard earned money is none of her business.
She went on to complain about how “selfish” I was being. Yesterday, I got home after work and saw kids running around and my sister unpacking lots of cardboard boxes. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I asked, shocked.
She looked me in the eyes, smiled and just stunned me when she declared,
“NOW WE WILL LIVE WITH YOU. AND YOU CAN’T THROW US AWAY BECAUSE… you’re family.”
I stood frozen. My dogs were barking like crazy, running around the chaos, and her youngest was already pulling cereal out of my pantry.
“I thought you were joking the other day,” I said, trying to steady my voice. “I wasn’t,” she said, plopping herself on my couch. “You have all this space, and we’re crammed like sardines.
It’s only fair.”
Fair? FAIR? I stared at the boxes and her three kids now running wild in my living room.
My place, the one I worked years for—gone in a snap. “You didn’t even ask me, Sarah,” I said. “You would’ve said no,” she replied with a shrug, like that made it okay.
That night, I barely slept. I tried to be civil. I even let her stay “just for the night” because I needed time to think.
