My parents crying. Not nice.

What's wrong?

I was hearing the furnace fan blowing, but it just stopped so I hear my tinnitus.

My little sister is a bit histrionic and a drama queen (not to mention a home-wrecker, but let's stay neutral :P) and she decided she's moving out though she has no savings or anything. She left this morning to stay at a friend's for a while and my parents are a bit upset, as is my sister's twin because we've done everything we can but she stills insults us.

As hard as it sounds, if your sister is over 18, then she needs a dose of the 'real world' to see what it's like. What your parents need to accept as it may take some time until she 'works through' her journey. Sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes it doesn't.

If they have honestly done the best they can and it is not appreciated, then your sister needs to go out on her own. There are plenty of charities and agencies that can help her too. Not that that is the best option...but she needs to learn life isn't a free ticket...and certainly not a free ticket to diss your parents forever. At some point, even if she thinks your parents have done a shit job, she needs to take control of her destiny.

The television.
My typing.
My breathing.
My mother doing the dishes.
Computer noises.
And I just heard a fart.

My mother doing the dishes. 

when i was little,  and if i wasn't well,  my mum would bring my duvet
downstairs, and make me chicken soup etc.  i always felt comfort
from hearing her in the next room,  doing the dishes and stuff.


now i live on my own i am often tempted to ask her to come
round and do the dishes if i am not well
-  i dont think she would be too pleased
blah blah blah

Awww, I should fly over and do the dishes for you. I'm a professional dishwasher, you know!  :thumbup:

The Love Boat theme.

The coolest show...but weird to watch 30 (did I just say that!) years later.

OMG, there is a couple on TLB talking about open marriage, affairs and monogamy.

How did I get through this show with my Grandma or parents? Amazing!

Never trust them to be asleep. There's always the option for an unpleasant surprise.  :headexplode:

Bad mood mum tomorrow is not a threat, but a fact, if they go on like this.
