I have a fundie sister who goes to church every time the door opens. I too am a believer but I am a liberal. She is a conservative. She bosses everyone or tries to. I have a disabled husband and a total of 7 people in this house. I took in my blind Father who is 82. She won't lift a hand to do a thing but bring him a can of potted meat and a bag of coffee on Saturday. I am trying to enclose my basement for more room. She does not help me clean his room when she visits on Saturday and she preaches how she has to go to the hospital to visit this person or that person. When my Mother died several months ago, she tried to run the show. She has two homes, three cars, four incomes, none she worked for. Yet poor mouths.
We are on a fixed income. No vacations, no movies. She has her Daytona trip, that is where she was headed when she bought the flashlight for Daddy. Sure he can't see but it got hot in that little trailer. I paid the lights bill and the water payment.
I work, I volunteer, and help my younger sister who has lost her daughter. She doesn't offer her help either. She cared for Mama and her daughter only child was killed in a car wreck. I found out she would send Mother 15.00 a month while I sent 200.00 to help before she died. I went bankrupt but it doesn't matter because I have no regrets. She buys for her 1 kid (forget the other) her grandkids and gives to the church. When they turned my Father's lights off two years ago, she bought him a flashlight, I borrowed money to get the lights on. I finally moved him in as I couldn't keep paying his bills and mine. She did nothing. She makes a difference in her two daughters. the one who has a nice home and a couple of vehicles, she caters to, the one who is divorced who is once widowed and once divorced, gets no help and she asks her to help with room and board while the other one who had advantages stayed for free while building a new home. She is a typical fundie. She served on the jury and believes in the death penalty. But you will go to hell if you believe in abortion. I never had to serve on jury duty because I say I don't believe in the death penalty and don't. She uses the N word yet teaches Sunday school. She thinks my Father and I are nuts because we are against Bush. Maybe she was always this way but I never saw it until Bush went into office. I got no use for her. Now some may say, well you are jealous..No I am not.... I have a good husband and she has one that bosses her around,I just say the one who is able to help should and after all I am not an only child, she too is and was their daughter. I am not an only child. I just have to act like one. IF Dad gets sick, she won't help with the medicine, I gladly dig a little deeper and buy it. I have taken my Father to the hospital before and she got angry because I would not drive 10 miles to pick her up as she did not drive at night, in a car she didin't trust. She had two over 21 one year olds in that house who would not take her to the hopsital (their own vehicles) and her husband forbade her to drive their new truck. Now ..you want me to just let all of this go. Anyone on this board knows I will chew someone's butt and call it like I see it and I have with her. To Devil with her good intentions, Hell is paved with them ! She will call me up once a week and ask how Daddy is. I now hang up after saying, what do you care.. Just today she said, When are you going to finish this room for Daddy? I said When you fork over some money, I am out. Got any? She left.
