My sister is gross and my parents are jerks

Ok well my little sister is really gross she is 10 years old and she doesn’t take showers often, brush her teeth, flush the toilet or even use toilet paper. My parents try to get her to have better hygene but lets face it, they are hopeless. My sister’s hair is greasy and full of knots. We recently found out that she has lice. My parents keep defending her saying she got it from some kid at school but I keep telling them that she started it and is likely giving it to other kids at school. My parents think I’m being mean but because of my sister’s lice I had to cancel a party I’ve been planning for 3 weeks. And now my friends can’t even come over to hang out because they could get lice. Apparently my sister gave me lice because now I have it too… yeah I know that’s really gross and I take very good care of my hair. I mean I used to get lots of compliments on my hair and I was so upset when I found out that I spent 3 hours crying in my room. Some people might think thats overreacting but I used to take pride in my hair and I never had lice before so this is just terrible. Now I can’t sleepover at my friends house or even hug them without giving them lice because it spreads so easily. My sister is ruining my life and she doesn’t even feel bad she is actually glad to see me miserable and in tears. I was so angry I kept saying it was all her fault and my sister said “I’m going to keep not showering until you shut up!” Can you believe it, I’m 15 and she is 10 and she is aloud to talk to me like that. It’s not fair my sister is a brat and if I do anything about it I get in trouble. On top of that she seems proud of her poor hygene. I told my parents that she started this whole lice thing and my dad blamed me. He said that if I cleaned the house more often my sister would never have gotten lice. Neither of my parents think this is my sister’s fault. My mom laughed at me when she saw me crying and said, “Wow you aren’t done crying yet?”. She says I’m too dramatic and she is right but I can’t help it. Everytime I look in the mirror, see someone with really pretty hair or even touch my own hair I feel disgusting and I want to break down and cry. Am I wrong? Is it really my fault? Was I being too harsh? I guess I just needed to vent… anyway thanks for reading.

Answer #1

well you have tried everything…and its not worth crying over it…but still your parents should pay more attention to your feeling then taking your sisters side… best of luck.

Answer #2

your sister is neglecting herself…

or are your parents neglecting her!?

hmmm

if I had a 10yo daughter she would have a bath/shower everyday and be made to brush her teeth

if its that bad and making you feel unwell I would suggest contacting social services and telling them this story and seeing if they will get involved

but be warned: this action could turn out worse as in mom and dad will be under investigation as 2 why they have let their daughter get in such a trampy state..

Answer #3

Ugh that’s really annoying, especially since she’s proud of it :/ If she knows you have Funadvice tell her that people are suggesting she should shower more.

Tell her that you’re trying to look out for her (even if it’s not true) and she should shower because when she gets to middle school people will be mean and think she can’t afford a shower.

Good luck :)

Answer #4

that really sucks D: but I guess the only thing you can do is just keep trying to show your parents how its not your fault… and for the lice, get some of the lice shampoo, it really works.

Good Luck :)

Answer #5

first off, just because you have a dirty body/scalp. that doesnt mean lice are going to happen, lice preffer a clean head of hair, because its easier to move around and feed.

if you want her not be be gross and dirty, make her wash her own damn shitty underwear haha.

now, if you have lice also, its your parrents fault.

its ok to make the kids clean the dishes, do the lawn ect.

but cleaning up parasite stuff is the adults problem.

my advice for getting rid of the lice if for your parents to get the shampoo. if they don’t do that, then you call child services. they will do something about it.

also, some kids dont bathe regularly around that age. she will start sometime (hopefully) but until then get some shampoo! also tell your sister that the lice are taking a nice dump on her head after they drink her blood!

Answer #6

parents arent supposed to let their kids do what they want and your sister sounds gross wouldnt even stand next to her if I were u im sorry about how you live your parents stick up for the youngest kid and leave you to practically fend 4 urself
