My fiancé and I get my little sister sometimes on weekends. Today is her birthday so we wanted to get her for the weekend. As soon as we get ready to go home (after picking up my pay) she says she wants to go home to Momma. I said nothing and we pulled in the driveway and parked. My fiancé took stuff inside while I was getting her out. She’s four and I don’t know how to be a good sister.

She was tearing up saying she wanted to go home. “I don’t get to see you much. It’s either we take you home tomorrow and only see me on holidays or we get you some weekends so I can see you. What do you want?” Is what I said to her. I don’t believe in yelling at children or harsh parenting because I never responded to it. Yes, I get onto her for something’s because I’m her sister and did raise her for three months when she was younger.

I just feel like shit for making her stay with me, but I don’t have the gas to take her home and get home tomorrow. Sunday was the plan to take her home that way I could fill up before school and work next week instead of wanting to ride around in my car wasting gas. I’m 14 years older than her and never have had to deal with this so I don’t know if I should feel bad about her not wanting to stay with me.
