Shorty journal
So my sister moved in today, everything is okay. There is some tension but this too shall pass. So everything is okay for now, I'm glad her kids will be living in a better, stimulating, and more sanitary enviorment. So this being the second move in my Mother is sticking rules to her. Just basic stuff like Cleaning the kids and herself (sister).
The only room sacrificed was the dining room. But that's ok, I prefer to eat breakfast on the couch watching Democracy Now. Also eat lunch in my room, and back to the couch to watch Al Jazeera (English) or Mosaic if any of the two are on. The only problem I'm having is how my sister's kids are so undisciplined. Then again this too shall pass.
Well I'm on my way to sleep with lethargy setting in. So I was watching Arab Labor oh that show is so silly! If you're not familiar with it you should watch it sometime. I watched episode 3 season 2 entitled "Dog" oh you should really see it. I don't have the time to type the synopsis but it really is worth looking into, if you don't mind subtitles. :-)

wait wait, I've heard of
wait wait, I've heard of Arab Labor, I think. But I feel like I heard of it in Hebrew- Avodah Aravi or something like that- maybe it's a different show... *confused*
Oh,
it's in Hebrew, probably because it's shot in Israel. It's a neat show, it's on Linktv.
yes! yes! i know that show.
yes! yes! i know that show. ^.^
YAY!
Someone else knows of said show!
Aw, man
Undisciplined kids? That would drive me nuts
-
That's redick!
Yes,
very undisciplined. They just do whatever they want usually, I'm going to try to be a disciplinarian but I'm not their dad so I don't see any need to. But it's really for my Mother's sake for me to try and assess the situation.
I am sorry for you :(
i'm worried that if I become a mom, my kids will end up like that D: So good luck taking care of them if they get all tantrum-y XD

That's redick!
Oh,
I think you would be a great mother. My sister just doesn't give a shit.
Awww, thank you so much! <3333
And that's kinda lame... maybe you should talk to your sister about it?? Idk how easy that would be though XP
-
That's redick!
Well,
She either doesn't do anything or she's really bad with disciplining. She isn't the best mother.
Technically...
Kids follow the rules, when they know them. So, the fact that they are undisciplined usually doesn't mean much. I know my niece and nephew get away with a lot more at home, but when they visit my mother, she just says that in her house, they can't do certain things... and they don't.
So, it is often just a matter of saying you're not allowed to do that here, and removing privileges/activities initially so they know you're serious. And hopefully your sister doesn't undermine that by saying they're allowed to whatever they want, which would get you back to chaos.

Hmm,
I assume it has to do with my sister's crap-boyfriend verbally assaulting her and never respecting her. I believe the kids picked up on that and they have no respect for her.
Maybe...
You should stand up to the boyfriend if he's treating her like crap. At least, that's what I do. Don't let anyone push your sister around >:|

Actually,
he already broke up with my sister and left her with the kids.
Oh...
Well... That's good I guess. Because he won't push her around anymore?
-
That's redick!
Yes,
but he did cost her a significant loss of success, what with him (boyfriend) dropping out of high school and my sister following his example. No diploma nor GED, one more kid on the way. I feel some resentment from my sister for graduating high school and moving on to college. She was supposed to be the successful child, and now painfully far from that.
