Most of you know that my parents are both ill and need my assistance on a daily
basis. I have a sister who lives 2 mins from my parents and I live 25 mins from
them. My sister was working daily, so I could understand that she couldn't take
care of them..and I am a SAHM so it gives me the freedom to help out.

My sister quit her job 2 weeks ago to stay at home. She can't really afford to
do it..she just tires quickly from jobs. Her longest job has been about 1yr and
she's 26yrs old.

Since my sister has quit her job she has not called my parents or visited them.
The last time they saw her was on April 12th, my mom's birthday. Yesterday, I
had a splitting headache. I was supposed to be at my mom's not only for the
daily lunch preparation but my mom was getting her Rascal (mechanical cart) and
needed someone to be there, other than my dad. I also needed to visit my FIL in
the hospital afterwards. So, I called my sister in the morning and no
answer....left a message. I figured she had walked her oldest son to the bus
stop. She never called back. She has caller ID and voice mail. So....I waited
about an hour and called back...still no answer..this time the machine did not
pick up. VERY ODD. I was panicked..I needed a back-up. I called again about 2
hours later and her boyfriend picked up and said she was outside and that she
would call me. I tried not to sound unwell...because I didn't want them to know
why I was calling. She NEVER called me back until 3:30 yesterday afternoon!!

Thankfully, my mom had talked to me prior and said to relax that they were ok
and that I needed to rest and take care of myself and my headache. I mentioned
my trying to contact my sister..and my mom said "She doesn't care about anyone
but herself"..and of course..she was right.

When my sister called she said "What's up?" and I told her that nothing was
up...that I needed someone to go to mom's because I was ill but that it was too
late. Do you think she even asked how mom was doing? Or if I was doing ok?
NOPE...she simply said "Oh, I was busy" and I said "OK"..and hung up. Then she
called me back and said "You sound like you are mad at me" and I said "I am not
mad, just disappointed" and I hung up. Haven't heard from her since.

What pisses me off is that my parents are her parents and our parents have
taken very good care of us. My dad, especially, is incredibly generous and is
always "sneaking" me and my sister money. But my sister takes advantage of it.
He gives her is gas card to fill up at least once a week.....when she decided
to go to college....they bought her school clothes, as if she was 10 again!!
They pay her rent and almost all her utilities just because she asks. They are
fools if you ask me...but anyway...my point is this...how can she take, take,
take.....and then go weeks without even a phone call to them??
