So for the past 4 months, my sister (as VP of her highschool's student council) needed a choreographer. She asked me to choreograph three different dances for three different events. Two weeks ago, she asked me to choreograph their dance again, this time for their school's foundation day. I declined since I'm busy fixing my acads and tbh, I'm tired of choreographing in general. She asked me, "If anyone asks what do I say?" I told her to just say the above, exactly.

She told me tonight that last week, when her student council adviser asked why they got a different dance instructor this time, she said that I was busy. My sister said the adviser kept asking "What is she busy with?" and according to her wouldn't give up until her question was answered. Eventually the adviser said "Is it just because she doesn't want to help us?" My sister ended up saying it's because I'm working on my thesis.

To be clear, I'm not working on my thesis. I can't until next semester. I stated that a few times in my social networking accounts. My sister has contacts/mutual friends and also some of my past teachers from that school follow me. So I was pissed because she put me in a difficult position of appearing like a liar.

The argument happened while we were in the car, I picked her up from a friend's house. After I told her how upset I was, she said sorry and was apologetic about it the entire time. Our argument continued until we got in the house, then my mom decides to step in. She said I should see how my sister was just trying to 'save my ass'. She made me apologize to her (and I didn't see why I had to, if anything, it should be the other way around) so I said no. I never asked for her to lie, she should've just stuck to what I said.

(I didn't curse at her, hurt her or whatever else. I don't do that ever. I just kept saying I was upset and telling her what she did wasn't right and I hope it never happens again)

Now I'm the one who has to go to her highschool to clarify the facts when if she hadn't lied, there wouldn't have to be anything to clarify.

My mother goes on to say that "...she ended up saying 'thesis' because your sister isn't a good liar, unlike other people' at this, she's hinting at me. No...not really. My sister is actually better at it than I ever was, my parents spoil her and they just buy everything she says. Like today, I was at home setting up the Christmas decors by myself (including the tree, the living room and outside) all afternoon while she was out "practicing" (by this, I mean hanging out with her boyfriend). My dad...it's clear as day to everyone how much he favors his precious, innocent youngest daughter. It's too painful to even go into that.

She was just here in my room looking for something and I was trying to tell her "I still didn't appreciate what you did.. Don't lie for me again, just stick to what I said next time.". Her reaction? Remember, she was apologetic in the car, but after being backed up by mom, she says "Whatever, I was just saving your ass." then slams the door shut.

Did I miss something? Was it wrong that I didn't apologize? If so, what should I have apologized for? Is lying for someone else really okay?

Should I just pack up and leave this house maybe?
 
i think you might have overreacted a bit coco :mokken:

if i was your sister and they kept nagging me about why you couldnt help i'd say it was none of their business and tell them to fuck off. if you're busy, you're busy, but im sure your sister was just trying to look out for you. if i were you i'd be more pissed off at the adviser from the school being so pushy about it. youve helped out in the past that doesnt mean they should EXPECT you to do it whenever they click their fingers.

people say odd things when theyre put on the spot sometimes, so just put it down to a mistake on her part. on principle you shouldnt apologise, but sometimes its better to just swallow your pride and keep the peace. she is your sister and should be your pal, not an enemy over something petty :mokken:

and no you should not pack up and leave. that is overreacting :mokken: do not be so dramatic :mokken:








and where's my tune? :ahmed:
 
You are terrible Jim. :hmph: You choose now to respond so positively. :hmph:

Alright. You have a good point. I should probably have a word with the adviser for prying? But, tension in this house has been heavy for months now, that I'll stick to. I just saw the lie as completely unnecessary and something I didn't even want. I just couldn't believe that I was the one being asked to apologize. :\ But...okay yes, I should've seen it as her looking out for me. Do I have to say sorry for that?
 
well :hmmm:

she might not see your point. unless you feel extremely hurt by her evil lie then i'd say try to keep the peace :mokken:

or you could just wait til it blows over :hmmm:
 
when her student council adviser asked why they got a different dance instructor this time, she said that I was busy. My sister said the adviser kept asking "What is she busy with?"


Even if you're being paid or compensated for your trouble(which I doubt), a simple 'no' should be enough.

They're lucky you volunteered once. For them to expect you to do it everytime they need someone is overstepping themselves & asking too much.

:argor:
 
Ugh what a poo of a situation.

Can't say I've ever had this problem and if I did my brothers and sisters would probably not give a shit about trying to save my ass. XD They'd probably do the opposite and say I'm being lazy and don't want to help and make me look bad. XD

Anyway, I think both sides overreacted a bit. I think it's unfair that you have to go to the school and explain what happened, considering you already told her what to say, which should have been good enough for the advisor. But now you have to go in and try to fix things that weren't even your fault to start with. It's a bit shit. :hmmm:

Though I can see where your sister is coming from. The person harassing her for an actual reason as to why you couldn't be there obviously got to her and she just fed her anything to shut her up and get her off her case and didn't realise at the time how it would affect you by doing so.

But now she's just mean acting like nothing is her fault, due to your mum backing her up. Your mum should have left you two to sort it out yourselves. It's not fair that she immediately backed up your sister without really taking into consideration how you felt about it all.

It is poo but I hope things calm down for you soon.

I know what it's like to have a younger sister who always gets the benefit of the doubt and I am just the mean older sister who is a bitch and doesn't do anything right. :gonk:
 
Personally, I think it would be a good idea to go to the school and tell them that your sister made a mistake and that no one has lied... You should then add that, furthermore, they cannot expect you to help. You may not be writing your thesis, but you are busy with work (does it relate to the same course? If so, say that). Add, perhaps, that you don't talk about it in full with your sister, so she could have been uncertain as to the specifics of what you were doing.

Have they even paid you expenses or ever given you a gift as a gesture of thanks?

I don't think you should have to apologise to your sister. Remember that she's being shitty now because of your parents. She was willing to apologise on her own.

I'd be pretty annoyed at my parents in your situation. -_- But you can't beat Mum an Dad, who are always right, of course. :argh:

Perhaps you could go to your sister and just ask if you can put it all behind you and move on? :/ I don't think either you or her need to apologise, but maybe it would be good for both of you to quietly forgive and forget?
 
well, I don't think you necessarily "overreacted", but you seemed to have really just been shoving that disappointment up your sister's ass.

I mean, for me, once is enough. I can get really irritable when someone keeps rubbing something in my face, and it's practically like picking a fight with me.

I am sure that I am not comprehending your situation in it's full capacity, but I would advise to live and let live, and try to sort everything out as best as you can.

I didn't use to think about these things, but after this happened I realized it. No, the school didn't pay me for the dances. I spent my Wednesdays and Saturdays going to her highschool and I wasn't given anything - not even food. :\

I was going to go there this week to straighten things out with the adviser, but I was too busy, I kept getting home past 7pm. I'm thinking now of whether I'll push through or not. I'm getting mixed opinions, so... it's pretty difficult.

But now she's just mean acting like nothing is her fault, due to your mum backing her up. Your mum should have left you two to sort it out yourselves. It's not fair that she immediately backed up your sister without really taking into consideration how you felt about it all.

That was actually the last straw because we're quite close. At the end of the day, everyone in the family was angry at me and I couldn't understand why. That's what drove me to write here. :\

Fortunately, it's all sorted with my younger sister. I didn't talk to her for a while to let things cool down (as someone mentioned), then she started talking to me normally and eventually, I just let it go. My mom left for a week to a convention, and when she got back she was acting normal towards me.

I'm feeling much better. Thank you so much to everyone who supported and shared their thoughts. ♥
