Just wondering what you would do...

I didn't see the status, but congrats on getting a money gift! Screw your sister - block her, delete her or something until she chills the heck out!

I dont really understand posting a status about receiving a monetary gift. However your sister sounds like a nut. I would block her number and facebook if she didnt stop being so stalkerish. Aside from crossing the line with calling you so much she left the line somewhere in the dust by calling your dad. Its facebook. If you are upset about something delete the person or block their posts. Problem solved.

What I put what something like this

" Today has been my lucky day! Found out we're getting a nice amount back for taxes, the school is giving DH $500 and then mom is giving my sister and me $5000! THEN, I found a Barbie bike on sale for $25, an inflatable jumper for $30 and a toy nursery set for $9!"

Or something like that. I was just excited. Excited about getting money and excited about finding some awesome deals while shopping! She's the only one that went ape shit and told me that 2 of my cousins were talking about it. So I deleted them all. LOL, a little childish but damn. Seriously all this over THAT status?

And yesterday every time I would try to move away from that whole conversation she would just go back to it, starting from the beginning. I told her if she wasn't my sister then she'd be some crazy fucking stalkish friend that I'd probably avoid for the rest of my life.

What's her problem? Just that you posted it? Ok, I could see where she wouldn't want it broadcast to FB people that she will be coming into some cash. But you deleted the post so big flipping deal. Get over it. Is that all that she is mad and obsessing over?

[skooch]

Your cousins don't need to be discussing it in the first place. A mother can give her children money without other people getting upset. Kids rate it.

You did nothing wrong, I'd do the same. Except if I won the mega bucks or something. I'd be keeping that shit secret, lol.

Well, I didn't post it yesterday because I forgot. N was getting all pissy last night about dinner so I got off the computer.

But it pays to take your cart back to the cart holder thingy. Leaving Sam's yesterday I was tempted to leave my cart where it was (I was parked way way out, no other cars nearby so it wasn't like someone would have to move it to park or it would roll into other cars). But I decided I'd walk it over. I pushed it into the corral and my foot slid, looked down & there was a $50 bill under my foot! 36 steps each way (I counted coming back) and looky what I got!

Too bad it wasn't a mega bucks winning lottery ticket! lol

[~*Ks Mommy*~]

Yeah #1, she's pissed about the status
#2, she's mad because she thinks I lied to her about blocking the whole family from seeing it, when really I only said I blocked one cousin.

So then she goes crazy and tries to convince that I'm lying even though I'm telling her that she probably just misunderstood me and thought I blocked all the cousin. No, she can't accept that and goes through the whole story again. After about the 3rd time, I hang up.

#3 she's pissed that I hung up
#4she's pissed that I was ignoring her

So, that's why she is/was mad

Exactly! (About the cousins) So then I deleted all the family off facebook because they don't need to be talking shit behind my back about a damn status. It's ridiculous that this is all because of a status. Really?! I am the youngest of all these people by like 10 years and I feel like the most mature. That's sad.

I'll never understand why someone's chapped ass is supposed to become our personal emergency.

You shouldn't have said anything about your sis getting money. That's no different than your cousins talking about it. Maybe your sis didn't want all of fb to know her financial biz. Kwim? She went over board with the amount of times she called you. She didn't do anything wrong calling YOUR dad since it's HER dad too.

Yeah I get that now, and that's why I deleted it. I told her I'd leave her out of my stuff from now on and apologized for that. I reason I think she was wrong in calling dad is because she was calling him just to have him give the phone to me. It's ridiculous IMO.

That's parent sinking shit that goes on forever. You'll always be the stupid little sister, she'll always be the boss and your parents will always be the referees.

Is this 5000 from the dead grandmother?

No, none of Grandma's stuff is settled yet.

I could see your sis being mad about the status and maybe still being annoyed but she really went overboard. As an adult she should not be bringing your parents into something like that and she should know the difference between trying to talk to you and harassing the shit out of you.

I can so relate to this! November 2006 my parents dropped full coverage on my car to liability, it was 10 years old, I had never been in an accident, and due to surgery and rehap, being unable to walk, I couldn't work so I couldn't pay them for the insurance, they dropped it to make it cheaper. A week later I hit a deer and totaled the car.

Husband was in NC, we were getting married in December, and his car was a POS that wouldn't always run. He still owed on it and during boot camp his parents promised to make the payments while he was gone. The entire time they assured him they were paying on it and 6 months later we discover they hadn't been paying it. That shot his credit to shit and I had no credit. We couldn't get a loan and had no usable vehicle and no money.

My brother was selling his CRV and offered it to us at a much lower rate than it was worth. My parents offered to take out a personal loan in their name and we'd just send the payments to my parents to pay it off. I was so ecstatic for the help and I totally loved my brother's car so I made some vague comment on facebook about how thankful I was that my parents were helping us get a new car.

O-M-G!! Almost immediately my husband called (not married yet, he was in NC) and he's screaming at me about how pissed his sister and mom are, how much I hurt them, yadeda. I asked what in the heck they were mad about and he said because I posted on facebook about how his parents screwed us over so my parents had to bail us out. He didn't have a computer so he was only going off what his sister said. I didn't mention anything about his family screwing us or anything like that. I just said my parents were helping us. This could mean they paid for it, paid a down payment, gave us their car, it could mean ANYTHING and I didn't even mention his family. When I got the phone call I had just started driving back to school 3 hours away so I had a 3 hour screaming match about what a terrible thing I had done. I deleted it as soon as I got back to my apartment but I heard about it for months.
