Am I wrong or is she wrong? Because I'm trying to see what I did wrong

Question

Long story short. I haven't been able to sleep well for three days. On the day I can finally sleep, my sister is celebrating about her grades on-line next to me in bed. I understand that grade would determine if she got into the nurse program and I still see it as being unfair that she woke me up. I know has been working really hard for her summer class and still unfair to me. She could have celebrated somewhere else. Whenever I get up in the morning really early ( I have trouble sleeping), I leave the bedroom and go to the living room so she can sleep. I told her I didn't like that and now she's like "I never speak to you again and I had every right to wake you up." And she continue to bring up past stuff and blah blah blah. By that point i got angry and walked out of the room. Okay was I wrong or was she? If I am wrong why?

Answer 1

It is not important who is right or wrong. When you get to the point of justifying what you think you did as right then it is wrong again.

I agree with the first answer.

Answer 2

Wake her up.  That's right.  Find a valid reason to wake her *** up here and there on a regular basis.  She'll get the message.

Or you can write her a letter. She'll have to read it. She can't just walk away.  You could explain how happy you are for her but that you were irritated because you couldn't sleep.

Some people can just go back to sleep and some people can't.  Personally, I guess I would be a little put off if I got wonderful news and woke someone up to tell them and they were pissed at me.  That would say a lot more than "I am not happy for you".  That would say "I do not care what goes on in your life at ALL'

I actually had a close friendship dissolve entirely over someone waking me up and me being a ***** about it.  Seriously.  I think as long as you tell her that you do love her and are proud of her and convince her that you do care then the sleeping thing won't matter.  It was a symptom, not the greater problem that she is now seeing.  Best of luck.

Answer 3

She's being rather immature and disrespectful to you.  You need to talk this one out though.  Let her know you are proud of her grades and you understand how important it is, but that she isn't being respectful and considerate to your need for sleep.

Answer 4

I would say she is wrong, unless she didn't know you had sleeping problems.  

Answer 5

A line from a movie "I will never let the little things in life bother me". She's your sister, try to patch things up, it doesnt matter who was wrong.
