I got in trouble for nothing! What can I do?

My mom is always mad at me for things my siblings do. My sister made a mess in the basement, I had to clean it up even though my mom knew it wasn't me. My mom is always mad at my back-talking violent sister who doesn't listen to anyone or anything. After my sister does something wrong I can't leave my room without doing something wrong and getting grounded. My sister was just being extremely rude to my mom while I was in her bathroom straightening my hair. She asked me what I was going to do about my hair Monday for school because I was going to my dad's and he doesn't even have a hair dryer. I told her I was taking my straightener and got in trouble with her yelling about how no one cares about what she needs anymore. Her straightener broke last week and she's been using mine, so she won't have one Monday. I said she could always curl her hair and I got in trouble. What can I do?

Do you othink htat you could get a hair straighterner to have at your dad's? Would he get one for you to keep at his house? You should not be required to leave yours at home becuase hers broke, because that is not fair, but dealing with parents you sometimes do not get the fair shake. Sometimes being the oldest sucks becuase your parents might want YOU to take care of THEM sometimes. This is not fair either, but it can be reality. Unfortunately you are kind of stuck. Is there af riend you can borrow from for Monday and then ask your dad if he could work on getting things you need for you at his house? that way you will always have the stuff you need when you are there, and the stuff you need at your mom's, and there won't be any conflict. Beeing a teen with a younger sib sucks. I grew up with things always being my fault, I had to pick up games and put them away becuase I could reach and he could not, I also got in trouble for things I did not do. It is NOT fair, but I learned that the world is not a fair place young and had an easier time of it as an adult knowing that you have to fend for yourself sometimes. When your mom is feeling down with herself she might take it out on you. This is not right or fun, but it happens in the best of families. Here are some teen secrets that I found worked very well. Empty the trash at least once a day. Really. without being told. If you have animals clean up their duty (scoop the cat box, pick up the yard....once a day. take the 10 minutes to do this. Help with dishes and dinner without being asked. This takes sooooo much stress off of a parent you have no idea. It seams so simple and stupid, but it does. You wouldl be surprised at wat happens when they can rely on you for a simple thing like this. They can then better focus on being a good person to you. Do your homework and chores first. Do not put your friends before your housework. Take the tim e and just do it and get it over with. Do not whine when things are not fair. Just do what you have to. YOu have to do it anyway. Do not complain about your folks to each other unless they are doing something abusive. I really wish you luck and I hope that some of these things help. Growing up sucks sometimes.

Ask your mom why she does this, and if there's anything you and her can do to help it stop. As for your sister, try and reason with her.

OMG Hun i feel your pain... I am 15 also, my sister is 11.

Whenever she gets in her little tantrum mode my mom gets mad at all of us and then no one gets their way. Although my sister can be the abuser sometimes i can put her in place by showing her im older [pretty much punch the living daylights outta her..lol]

Do the same to your sister.. just not so extreme so she knows your older and what you say should be takin seriously..

~Good luck~

wow...buck up honey..you dont deserve this....dont let a little 8 yr old do that to you...im sure theres a non violent way to restrain her....assuming since you are so much older that you are also bigger.....and up fronnt ask your mom why she treats you this way...dont be afraid to point out your merits and catch your mom off guard....when she sees that you are right then she may not be happy or admit her wrongdoing but hopefully in the future it will lessen the effects on you
