Little sister trouble?

Question

my snotty little 11 year old sister keeps stealing, using, and taking my things that I bought with my money that I work hard to earn. my parents don't care they say its just stuff and I need share my things with her but its my stuff that i work hard to get and I share most of my stuff. she is such a brat. what do i do about this.

Answer 1

first i would sit down your parents and really tell them how you feel...tell them its your hard earned money and its not fair...there should be some boundaries....if that doesnt work start taking stuff of hers that means something to her....maybe a taste of her own medicine will do the trick...but i would try the parents thing first....make them listen...be an adult about it dont whine

Answer 2

Go buy a nice trunk locker, and a lock!

That is what I did for my G-daughter to keep her little sister out of her stuff.

Answer 3

just have a little talk with your parents and tell them that you worked for it and that its not fair that she takes your things. ask them how they would feel if she went all in their things without any permission.

Answer 4

DEAL WITH IT YOU BIG BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Hide your stuff in a secret place or talk to you parents and tell them how you feel and explain to them you bought it with your own money and that she can buy it with her own money!

Answer 6

Sit down with your parents and explain how you really feel. If this doesn't work, and I suspect it might not, then go to the next step.

Sit down with your sister, alone, without your parents around. Explain, calmly and without accusing her, that you want her to ASK before she uses your stuff. If she says, 'well, you never let me' say, 'I might if you can prove to me that you are responsible enough and respectful enough to ask.' If this doesn't work, go to the next step.

Say you find out she's stealing/using/taking your things. Ok, now you go and talk to her a second time. Again, no parents. Explain that from there on, if you find your stuff stolen/used/or taken, you will do the same to her stuff.

Now, hide your most valuable things. Maybe at school, if you have a car, put it in there. Also, invest in a lock for your door. If your parents put up a fuss (mine did), then buy it when they are out, and install it yourself. Make sure it's one of those locks that's in the doorknob. Where you can turn the lock keyless from the inside, but need a key to get in from the outside.

If she somehow gets past your security, start taking her things. Sounds immature, I know but it might be the only thing to work. Take something of value to her. Something that's her favourite. Now hide it somewhere, at school maybe. Explain to her that if she continues to take your things, you will DESTROY that object of hers.

An alternative to all this is to threaten to call the police on her. Tell her she can get arrested.
