Bedroom Talk
I really want to be understanding and sympathetic about this...?
I've known my best friend going on 16years. she has a sister who's 35 and has 5 kids. Her sister lost her place last year for not paying rent. So she decided to move in with her single sister that had a 2 bedroom apartment and doesn't have kids. Since moving in with her the kids broke furniture ,windows and put holes in the walls, to make the situation even worst they got evicted today. Now as long as I can remember my friend has tooking care of this grown ass women!! and her kids for a long time and it almost seems as if she is useing her own sister. Last night she tried to contact her sister so they could get there belonging to storage; but her sister didn't answer the phone. My friend really wants to get away from her but she can't because she's worrying about her neices and nephews. I told my friend that she could stay with me and my family until things are good for her again. I do believe that she's gonna ask me if her sister can live here to, but that will be a no. It makes me really upset to see her like that. I don't know what to say to her as a friend to cheer her up.. Her sister is really starting to get under my skin; because she is tareing my friends life apart physically and mentaly. I have never seen her cry as much, she usually the strongest in the family. I explain to my friend all the time that i will not do all the things your her sister that she has done. I don't want to inconvience my family because of her sister. I have 2 kids and a husband, I've always helped her and and she's done the same, but this here i just won't do. here sister needs to find her own way. But when i look at my friend, I've never so her that depressed what should I do?

- Five kids? Why so many? Well I don't blame you one bit. Her sister & kids staying with you is a big step and it could potentially ruin your friendship with all those people...and the stress. Now your friend...she has a little bit more obligations being her sister and all. But you as a friend...perhaps it's going to take your help. There are housing programs for them...and welfare. Maybe you need to tell your friend about them so she can make her sister take care of business.
- You're already doing a big favor by allowing your good friend to stay with you. It is not your responsibility to help out the sister. Your friend should be able to understand this. Its time for your friend to worry and take care of herself, irregardless if she's single. I hope you stand by your answer "no"
- i really don't blame you for helping her get back on her feet she deserve the help but the sister need to stand on her own two feet and find some other kind of way to take care of those kids she can do it if she try
