AIBU to really not like my sister…AT ALL

[Lablo]

Long story short. My sister is 2 years younger than me we have different dads and she is a nightmare. She always has been. My childhood was dominated by her and her drama, she was a very naughty child and teenager (think being arrested, drugs etc) all my parents focus was on her. She has stolen from family, lied and just been a pain in the a**.

As an adult she has 5 children, with the kids dad, has never worked nor has her partner and they are on benefits which means she is always trying to borrow money, reliant on family for paying for things we all do together etc.

She is a total drama queen so much so that when our mum was diagnosed with cancer she didn’t want to tell her in fear of upsetting her!!

I have as little to do with her as possible but she makes her presence know, especially when there is a chance for attention. AIBU to dislike my sister. All my friends are close with their siblings but I just can’t stand her. Sorry just need to rant really!

I have 2 siblings I don't talk to at all.

You can't choose your family.

YANBU

There’s no reason you need to like her -

Its not a crime to dislike family!

Of course not, no one has to like any member of their family.

I hear you, my sibling is a thorn in my side

Sounds like your better off without her to me.

YANBU. Nobody is under any obligation to like any members of their family.

Thanks everyone. She feels me with such rage I can’t even describe and no one else seems to understand it.

Nope you’re not alone.

You’re not alone. I love my nieces and nephew tho, and she’s not letting me see them.
Its a big complicated mess, I’ve always supported her but now I realise that she causes many of her own problems but refuses to hear it, with her massive victim complex.
I need a quiet life without her drama. Just miss the kids.

Yes same here

I don't know why you are so desperate for her to like you.
you're giving gifts for years after she hasn't given you anything. Why?

not unreasonable. I haven’t spoken to my sister in about 10 years. Can’t stand her,

My husband has a sister 7 years younger and they barely talk except for Xmas and a couple of times throughout the year. She hasn't sent anything for our children's births, Xmas or birthdays.
My husband always goes out and buys expensive gifts for her and I'm like WHY?
It was her birthday this month and he sent something and she hasn't thanked him. I think he is now seeing my point of view and hopefully won't send her a Xmas gift.
It's strange the way she is

She’d drive me nuts, too. Are you asking for permission to go nc? Nobody would tell you no!
