My 46 year old sister sleeps in my mothers bed with her every night. Her daughter sleeps in a room by herself. Is this normal? There is limited space at our house but my question is why isn't she with her own daughter? It seems weird to me, and she still follows my mom around the house too. If my mother is in the kitchen she is in the kitchen. When my mother goes into her room, she follows her into the room.
I am really bothered by her behavior, I think my sister needs help and I don't think her behavior is normal.
Please help me! About six months ago my husband walked out on me and my 4 children and I had been umemployed due to illness. We ended up getting evicted from our home and had to move in with my mother. My father died 4 years ago and at that time one of my sisters moved in with her along with her teenage daughter. Then about 2 years ago my youngest sister moved back home after she graduated from college. During these past 4 years (before I moved back home)my mother has been the only one working and paying bills. Neither one of my sisters work and neither one of them help to maintain the house. All my sisters do is lay around the house being lazy and argue. This has caused much stress on my mother but she won't do anything about it. When I got there I started cleaning and doing everything to help my mom and I am actively seeking employment. I am getting very frustrated though, because me and my kids are the only ones helping around the house and when I try to talk to my mother about it, she defends my sisters. If I say anything to either one of my sisters, they start arguing with me. I don't know what to do, something is wrong with my mother to allow laziness and disrespect in her house. Should I try to get counseling for my mother and sisters? They all act like something is wrong with me for speaking the truth.

@Wondergirl...I am the oldest and had no other choice in moving back. I am not divorced yet and I have no idea where my husband is. I don't plan on being here very long, my main goal is to get back on my feet and get my own place. I was very ill which is why I wasnt able to take over after my husband left but I am much better now. I just think its weird which is why I posted the question. Most of the people I ask feel the same way I do.

Will be honest, it does not seem normal at all. There is something wrong with this, yes. It is not about judging it is about what is normal and not normal. 46 year old sleeping with her mother in the same bed is NOT NORMAL. It is not all you're sister though. I would be asking the mother why does she allow this type of behavior? There is something wrong with her too.

Is your sister divorced? Does she have a history of neediness or wanting to live at home? Or even mental illness? Has she ever lived anywhere else? (Sorry for all the questions.)

My 2 year hasn't slept through the night since he has been born. Mommy and Daddy are going crazy. I don't know what I should do. I've tried letting him sleep in the middle between us and everything. He sleeps for about 3 hours then wakes up screaming and crying. He is also still taking his bottle...
My 9-yr.-old Keeshond, Hope, has not eaten a single thing in six days; she is still drinking and urinating and defecating, however. No blood in the stool and it has substance. She did begin this journey with two days of vomitting and diarreah, though. Had her to the vet twice in three days last...

Our little shih tzu (8 months old) started off well, but more recently has taken to sleeping under or on our bed. We took the path of least resistence and let him get away with it, but his constant licking, nibbling, flicking his ears around and general sleep noise is driving us nuts. Any tips...
