Don't answer if it's too long to read.
4:30- Sis calls from her campus to let me know she needs a ride home because the girl she rode with left early. Says she can call a cab if needed. I'm a nice sister, so I tell her I'm on my way.
4:15- Arrive and pick up my sister who proceeds to ask me if she can stop somewhere for smokes. I need to grab a couple things from store so tell her no problem.
4:30- we arrive at Grocery store #1. I get my items and check out. Entertain daughters and nephew (not hers- our brothers- I'm babysitting) at quarter carousel. Bi-polar sister gets into fight with cashier and loudly shouts "Fine. We'll go somewhere else." I have no idea what it was about. She asks if we can go to a specific gas station, stating her brand of smokes is cheap there. It's across town and in sort of a bad area but I figure it'll be easier than fighting with her because she has a crazy bad temper.
5:00- arrive at gas station and she realizes she forgot her driver's license. Clerk won't sell her the smokes. I offer to buy them and show my ID but the clerk says she already knows they're going to my sister and isn't comfortable selling them to us without seeing my sister's ID. My sister starts cussing. I interrupt and tell sister I know she's frustrated and can't always help it (Bi-Polar) but she needs to try to behave herself in front of nieces and nephews. She tells me I'm a bad mother because I just lay down and let people walk all over me and the "Miss Sally Homemaker bit" doesn't work for everyone and her nieces need to know how to stand up for themselves. I tell her "Fine. Call that cab" then take all 3 kids and leave.
Ten minutes ago: Dad calls me and scolds me like a 12 year old child because I left my sister in a bad neighborhood.
WTF?! Would you not have done the same thing?
There aren't drive-bys and stuff. We don't live in a huge metropolitan area. The worst that would happen is someone might offer to sell her some weed which might not be such a bad thing for her.
First time stamp should be 4:00 lol
She's not retarded. She knows how to call a cab and get home. She has lived on her own before moving back home with Dad to save money. She's 21 years old. A big girl. She can deal with it.
