:wah::wah: Now thats funny. Sorry if it was not meant to be. I thought those days at college were full on fun, fun, fun! I love the way she called your Mum when she couldn't get book - your Mums probably thinking, jeez I thought I'd got rid of the fighting and arguing :wah:

This arrangement was done on purpose?

Good Luck

ROOM CHECK????

I'm sure you're building up a lot of friendships there skittles, and I'm sure you're working flat out as well. It's a great environment for you and you'll make the most of it.

That's what I said too, Spot - "ROOM CHECK?!" They have those in college?!

Well Skittles, set your sister down and have a serious talk with her about respecting other people's boundaries. I don't think she handled this too well. But I'm sure you guys will work it out somehow.

ok its bad enough me and my sister still live at home in the same house but to share a room (we are both moving out within the next year):wah:

wow i think she would have been buried under the patio by now

don't get me wrong I love her to bits but sometimes its like GRRR

and for your sister to say you don't share, that is totally unfair what doe's she think your doing when you let her use you t.v. and computer amongst many other things I am sure.

Good luck and I hope it gets sorted for you

Boy I feel really sorry for ya Skittles, I dare to think how bad it would be having to share a room with my brothers *gasp* I hope things improve for you, wouldn't want things to get nasty! :p

Did you sisters share a bedroom at home?

I had to share with two sisters at home...got used to it.......enjoyed the brief fleeting moments of privacy. We all learned to work as a team to clean the room, change the bedding, etc. We just didn't mess with each others stuff....that was the unwritten law.

Can you ask to change room mates? Seriously, it will help you both get along better if you are in different rooms-you need your space.

Hi-

You are too nice! So don't turn into a doormat (rule number one).

Just wondering, what do you mean "and the only way she would leave is if I excited happy"?? This was a typo and it affected the meaning conveyed. Also was this what your mom thought or you, skittles?

My take on it is 1) you are pretty nice person, almost to a fault, and 2) get the sister out of there and room with someone else, preferably in a different place that doesn't require room checks.

Hope you get it straightened out. I think whatever you do you will no doubt remain close to your sister, even if you have to use tough love on her :wah:.

Bye,

Erin

skittles2004;700815 wrote: Okay so here i am in college... we're suppose to act more mature to some extent right? So my roomate is my sister! my first year of college and i room with my sister! I was okay with it at first. But here's my point of view...

I give my sister all the room she wants. I leave all day and come back when she is asleep. I let her use my computer all she wants and she uses my T.V. more then i do. I'm never there. My room is messy at times but it gets cleaned just in time for room check. But my stuff is never near her stuff. But yet she feels she can throw her junk on my stuff... i actually dont mind that. but okay today we have a class together. she likes to leave at 7:20 i like to leave at around 7:55. I've never been late to class. We share a book for that class, she gets it friday to tuesday. So during that time instead of studying she slept... or did other things that i really dont care about! all i know is that i get it wed and thursday. So i was reading it last night and left it downstairs. She wakes me up at 7:30 saying i need to wake up and give her the book! i said i still have 20 minutes and i went back to bed. Throughout this time i guess she called my mom and said i was still sleeping and not giving her the book! So i get a text, i'm still asleep. Then i wake up with a phone in my hand. All i hear is "you guys need to learn to share and stop arguing." I WAS ASLEEP! when did i argue and not share! so now i am skipping chapel so i can find my I.D card that she lost while looking for my book! UGH SIBLINGs SHOULD NOT ROOM TOGETHER!!!!!!!! :-5:-5:-5:-5

Errm my suggestion is you get yourselves a book each.......................

Sharing the room is ok, sharing the TV is one thing, making mess is one thing but sharing ONE book that you both obviously need even at different times of the week is a totally different thing that could be resolved by having 2 of them...........
