Getting back at my little sister. No "Talk to her"s please.

[Matt_]

My little sister is almost 3 years younger than me-She is terrible. I'm not going into all the details (Could take all day) But I need some way to get back at her. She'll know it was me, so I don't want it something extreme or something very small. She's 11.

I know its what you dont want to hear...
But 'getting back'' at her will get you nothing
Its childish to retaliate,
And you are stooping to her level if you just annoy her back

You need to talk to her, talk to your parents, or talk to a counselor on how to get along, to a point where you can at least live together

Matt, the short answer to your question is to talk with your parents about her behavior (and your feelings about her). It is their responsibility to work with her and help her behave better. You need to come up with a mature way of having that convo with them, so they take your concerns seriously and recognize their need to respond by working with her. If you take matters into your own hands, you do yourself an injustice here b/c the focus will quickly become your behavior, not hers. And once that happens, your credibility is lessened, making it less likely they'll take your side and work with her. She is, afterall, the problem, not you. Keep it that way by telling them and let them take care of the problem here.

Hide her left shoe........ Not somewhere conspicious. Pretty entertaining.

They're right though, it won't solve anything.

Well there you go, I'd give you rep sam if I was allowed....

But I will renforce that advice. YOu must of realised that retaliating is a bad way to go about it and it won't get you anywhere. But you have to remember she is only 11, one of the worst ages on this damp brown earth. She will improve her behavior once she gets a little older, but if she doesn't she has issues..
But remember also that it is a natural thing for siblings to argue..almost as natural as politicians lying through their teeth. So the squabbling won't go away, but I'm sure that she will get better once she's got a little older.

As Sam and nick have said, tell your parent (s) how you feel about her, that way they can deal with the situation and can have more control over her than you can. As they are your parents after all....

I hope she stops bugging you soon, I pity you..

Parents won't often deal with sibling issues you know. Usually they just tell yiou to talk it out.

Doesn't work well on 11-year olds. I have a sister who's 11 too, and I'm 4 years older. She never shuts up and never stops bugging me. Now I get in trouble for pushing her out of the way.

She's almost as big as me :S



Anyways, you could always just ignore her too. That bugs the heck out of most little kids. Just don't reply. If she touches something just hold her back, don't hit her.

Leave the toilet seat up. Eventually, she'll start to get mad.
