my sister is always screaming and has a filthy mouth and she constantly is cursing and screaming around my young children. when i hear her say something or hear her screaming, i calmly ask her to stop. she then gets worse. i am so sick of it. tonite, i came home instead of having dinner with her and my parents to get my children away from her. what am i supposed to do? talking to her about this will do NOTHING since this is all about who she is. do you think avoiding her when she is around and keeping kids away from her will help prove a point?

she is never calm and extremely defensive and will find a way to turn it around on me or whoever else "made" her scream to begin with. she "slips" with the word fu-kin weekly and i cant take it. [ Reply | More

then I think you need to somehow explain that she can't be around your children if she continues that behavior. You may have to be willing to leave family functions etc but if it's best for your kids, it may be what you have to do. Is she mentally unbalanced? Sounds like she needs some help [ Reply | More

yeah, she has some issues. she does get help but i think she is very unwilling to let someone help her, so nothing gets accomplished. [ Reply | More

I'm very sorry. That would be a tough situation. Just do what you can to protect your kids. When they get older, you can explain that some people use words that arent' nice but we can still like the person. DH grew up with a cursing grandmother - although she wasn't a screamer - and he turned out just fine. GL [ Reply | More

"to protect your kids"??? Oh come on! Most kids in NYC will hear all manner of words simply walking down the street. Who cares? If sister was a junkie that shot up in front of kids, that's another story -- but because she drops the f-bomb? Please. [ Reply | More

really, what's the big deal if your sister screams and curses around your kids? Children can discern between different adults in their life -- everyone needs a crazy aunt. I think you're being too uptight about it. [ Reply | More
