Do you think my parents are overreacting?

Question

Ok so the other night, I crumbled a taco shell over my sisters head & threw the package at her because my mom was making me clean the entire kitchen instead of my sister doing half, and my sister was sitting there laughing at me so I got mad. My mom yelled at me, called me phsyco as if I was going to burn down the house next, and so I slammed my door. Not a huge deal, right? Well, they took off my freaking door and I hung a bed sheet over the entrance for privacy, and my sisters keep pulling it down and then I have to re tape it every day.

Last night my sister went in my room, hid in my closet while I was changing, then jumped out & scared the c**p out of me. Then, she refused to leave my room so I tried pulling her out of my room. She started crying cuz I was hurting her arm, & my parents yelled at me for apparently harrassing my sister! Im so mad.

Answer 1

When you behave like a young adult, you get treated as one. It sounds like you were acting like a very young child so you are being treated like one. You do not say how old you are or how old your sister is. I would say you are about 12 or 13 and your sister about 9 or 10. Basically, act your age.

Answer 2

You all are mad & psychos.  

Answer 3

Okay, I know you aren't going to agree with me on this one, but our rule in the house is that if you slam your door you get it taken off.  Now as for your sister pulling down the sheet, that is rude and disrespectful and if she was my child she would get into trouble as well..... Next time she doesn't get out of your room, tell on her....

Answer 4

YOU are over reacting!  Stop behaving like it's all about YOU!!!

You parents did the right thing and as long as you live under their roof - you MUST obey their rules.

Answer 5

Yeah, they are overreacting! I have a sister who often gets away with things that i don't and it makes me feel like hitting her but i don't because i know i'll end up worse off. Maybe you could try to hold yourself back and try to ignore your sister when shes being irritating. I know it's hard but at least your parents will appreciate that you're trying to be mature by not letting her get to you! xx

Answer 6

Try maybe to make a truce with your sisters. Try talking to her about how you feel and try to make her understand how you are feeling in this situation. Sit down your parents and go over the situation, hopefully this will help. Remember you can always bribe your sisters with jeweleryetc.

Answer 7

LOL yes they are overreacting, i would be pissed at my sister.

i would probably go punch her in the face.

my mom was like this too  but my older sister didn't have to do any thing.

your parents needcounselingg orsomethingg.

thats unfair.

Answer 8

You're all overreacting. You're acting like a brat, and they are punishing you harshly.

Answer 9

You should try acting like an adult.  Crumbling a taco shell and throwing a wrapper is a child like behavior and slamming the door is immature.  I don't blame your parents, I would take the door off too.  You would have an agreement with her not leaving your room, until you started to pull her out.  But I don't see that has harassing her.      

Answer 10

I think they might have gone a bit over the top actually removing the door, but you need to understand how horribly irritating having a door slammed in a supposed effort to end an argument is.  It drives me absolutely crackers, and I can't absolutely promise that I won't do the same now that your parents have given me the idea.

As a parent, having a door slammed is like a red rag to a bull.  It is also something we all did as teenagers, and it is only now I am getting it done to me that I realise why my mum and dad when berserk when I did it.  

And, from experience, I would also advise not touching your sister at all during arguments.  The trouble I got in yanking my brother around!!!  Although I did have to laugh when I read about the taco shell - I threw a yogurt over my brother once, but he threw a TV back at my head (and yes, I got into trouble for starting it).  

Chill out and ignore the lot of them.

Answer 11

sister on sister war.  not good.  it was a joke and you took it to Mars.  Sister not much help either, but jumping out of the closet is a hoot!  maybe mom should send both of you to a psychologist for therapy, though that's a bit extreme

Answer 12

I don't think you are over reacting! I feel that when your parents take the side of your sister then that is giving your sister lead way to continue annoying you, because she knows how your parents are going to re-act towards you.  But I think that you should ignore your sister.  The silence treatment helps. Just act like she doesn't exist, I say after 3 weeks after that she'll leave you alone.  She only gets enjoyment when you re-act, because then she knows that she is getting to you.

Answer 13

yes, they are overreacting!

Answer 14

WOW Sounds like you and your sister need to find something else to do with your time. But my sister and I hated each other growing up. But now she is my best friend in the world. So at least you may have something to look forward to.

Answer 15

I think you are overacting by doiing that to your sis but your parents aswell i mean they pulled the door out!!!! cmon just try to ignore her or try to think of here not there, and when theyre no there do the sharpshooter to her ITS A WRESTLING MOVE  

Answer 16

one.. be the bigger person.. dont crumble a taco shell over her head.. show your parents your more mature.. i had my door off for 6 months.. i know how it is.. but show them your mature and you can handle situations.. but yes they do seem like they are over reacting a bit
