My sister is 28 and she is refusing to miss college because she doesn’t like to catch up with work.. ok(?). The moral of the story is, I only asked if she would miss college for one day to be with our grandma, who will be at home ALONE, when the opticians visits by, after my grandma has frequently expressed that she doesn’t feel comfortable to be at home ALONE with a stranger. But my freaking sister doesn’t see the big picture. Our grandma is frail, elderly and vulnerable. The chances of somebody claiming to be an opticians and getting entrance to her house is 100%, likely, and the risks that entails I don’t want even want to think about it. My sister is the only relative who lives nearby to our grandma, and I get it, that she wants todo her own things at times but for the safety of our grandma it makes sense to miss college for this particular reason. You can freaking catch up with college work on the remaining days of the week! Heck! I’m 25, I’ve missed college and uni many times and caught up with the work by myself and still passed all my subjects. My sister is being unreasonable and she doesn’t get it!!! I swear, (I hope nothing happens) that if something did happen to my grandma while she was at college, she will be freaking guilty for the rest of her life. This is the opportunity to support and be there for my grandma while she gets the help that she needs, and my freaking sister is being a narcissist. Honestly, if I didn’t live far and have work the next day, I would’ve been on the freaking train myself on my way to be in the house before that appointment.
This is a vent I guess, I am just mad at my sister for not understanding the bigger picture here. Like she’s so freaking dumb.
