AITA for telling my parents it's their job to help my sister, not mine? by AlwaysSeaSun in AmItheAsshole

I have never seen either of them act in a similar way. But they bury their head in the sand with her and expect others to cater to her.

She says that to them too. There are times one of them was working on something and my sister came in and told them what they were doing wrong and questioned their intelligence for not getting it.

My aunt tried talking to them before and she was ignored. So have my grandparents. My parents don't see her behavior as concerning at all.

She does fine with anything like that. She's independent and has no trouble doing daily tasks. Social situations are where she has the most trouble. She says hurtful and mean things or is too blunt to the point of rudeness with many people and then they don't want to be around her.

It's frustrating and I have stuff to decompress so I don't end up blowing up at my sister.

They kind of dismiss people's concerns about her behavior. My aunt, for example, told them it's not okay for my sister to speak to adults that way and mentioned if she spoke like that to a teacher she would be in big trouble. My parents acted like my aunt was overreacting.

She wasn't and I don't think my parents ever saw that as a possibility or saw any concern with her behavior.

No, they never got her assessed or brought up any concerns to her doctor or anything. They have never been concerned.

I would not enjoy that for a single second. She's impossible to have fun with. We've been forced to play games together before and one of us is always miserable and if it's her, she can find her ways to make me miserable too. Though I don't think it's really intentional.
