Me and my family get along 1/4 of the time. I have 5 siblings, and my parents aren't together. My mom is married to a arrogant poop head. The other times, we are usually in big fights and other crazy stuff like that. My mom and my step-father smoke weed at least once a day... That, and they have been mysteriously going out and refusing to tell us where they are going. All I know on this is that they went to stay at a hotel overnight for no apparent reason. It kind of got me confused. I know that they have some personal things in which they don't need to tell me, but when they leave me with two toddlers, two and three years old, I should be able to know when they will be home and where they will in case of emergency. Another problem is with my sister, Eryn. She will be 9 on the 14th and she weighs almost 90 pounds. My dad gets on her case and so do I. We don't say it meanly, we just tell her that she needs to start eating healthier and cut back on the junk. Her mom(my dad's ex wife) believes she is fine and that she is not overweight. She keeps a cabinet full of junk food as well. An instance of my sisters eating habits can be showed as when she came home one day from school, she tells my dad, she had a cheeseburger. My dad said, "so you already had dinner". She said, "no, that was my snack after school". I was totally disgusted... Yet another problem, my other sister,Em who is 14 is a pot head. My three year old sister, Bella was going through her purse one day. I picked up the contents, which included a pipe and a lighter, and told my mom,thinking it was hers, to keep her stuff out of her reach. My mom replied that it was not hers. Bella came into the room with Emily's purse around her neck. My mom found out and is now keeping Emily from knowing that she knows. Nice huh? Another problem is my step father. He is a male and adult supremacist. He believes that children should be "seen and not heard" The most cliche phrase ever, yet he uses it all the time. He doesn't like it when me or any of my siblings try to talk with my mother and him and help decide petty things, like where to eat. He also seems to believe that my mom is under him. He treats her like absolute sh*t! I get so mad at him. I truly don't want my family to get broken up and he is trying to be better, but I still cannot stand him. He also expects me to respect him when he doesn't respect me... I just ignore him. I think I'm finished ranting for the day...

Well, do you want to keep your family together or to get away? If together, maybe you could all go to counselling. If you want to run, and 'save' all your siblings, you're probably better off seeing a Social Services agent.

Instead of being discusted with your 9 yr old sister I would be talking to the person who feeds her. Its not her fault because shes not old enough to know better, She obviously grew up thinking it was okay to eat that way because someone who is suppose to look after her lets her eat that way. I think by you or anyone going after your sister is the wrong way tro go about it, its just going to make her feel bad about her self when the problem is your mom or step-mom whoever it is. If you eat healthy then thats good, You set an example. Maybe explain to your sister the side effects of eating unhealthy like with health problems and size issues. I wouldn't make her feel bad for it though.
I think that when you care for your sibling you have every right to know where they are going and how to contact them. Its neglectful not to let you know. If they had another babysitter would they tell them? If they don't then I would refuse to watch them without know ATLEAST how to contact them in the even of a emergancy. All they have to do is leave a phone number.
Children aren't ment to be seen not heard. Thats the biggest load of crap I've ever herd. Tottally ignore that because you'll never be able to change the way he thinks. I dont know what I can really tell you on this one because - to him your just going to be an object and have no say anyways.
If you are really worried about your family and they way your parents are doing things I would sugget you talk to a Social worker or a school counseller. If you know your step-dad is smoking pot I would call the cops on him when you suspect he has some on him.

I don't intend on turning them in or anything like that... Other than them being a little standoffish i guess you could say, they don't do anything wrong. Both I and my dad has said things to her mother, yet she persists that there is nothing wrong. The only thing that is truly annoying about my family is the lack of respect for the rest of the family and even themselves... It makes me so angry that they are just throwing their lives away and/or hurting themselves.

Is her mother overweight? That may be why she sees nothing wrong with it. Have you ever expressed your concerns to the ones who will listen? Sometimes when you show alot of respect youself others will follow. You could set an example. I would try and talk to your sister about trying to get some help for her addiction.

ughh that would TICK me off! just go to your mom and just be like "I hate him, get him out of my life or I will be out of yours." That is truly unfair, and your mother needs to start doing stuff about it.
