I have a sometimes irrational tendency to get annoyed at my sister. It always backfires on me, however, with me constantly grounded or scolded on each and every occasion.

Example:

Tonight at dinner, she kept repeating "eeetzzzz naaaattttinnng" in a drawn-out, obnoxious way. It got so bad that I was grinding my teeth and clenching my fists while I watched her teach this phrase to my younger cousins who then proceeded to repeat this phrase to my face while grinning at the expression of annoyance and resignation on my face.

I walked out on dinner, then had to listen to the sounds of their laughter at my sister's *roll's eyes* hilarious stories.

Of course, I was blamed for being hot-headed and was scolded for a good hour while having to endure my sister smirking behind my parents' back.

Not a day goes by that I'm not tormented like this. All I want to know is: Am I normal for being annoyed at these kind of situations or were my parents right in calling me a 'hot-headed idiot who needs to learn to calm down and not "freak out" at such trivial things'?

    i feel your pain. my little sister used to annoy the shit out of me 24 7. we could barely have a conversation with out arguing or getting pissed off at each other. she's younger, so she always got away with her sneaky annoying tricks while i got punished for being upset and mad at her. our fights have escalated to full on punching in a parking lot. once, she threw a remote at my head so hard my scalp split open and i had to get stitches. It's totally normal to get easily annoyed with your siblings, they are around you all the time and everything they do and say seems so stupid and annoying....but honestly since ive been at college i have been missing my little sister SO MUCH. we call each other and talk everyday on the phone, and when i am home visiting i dont find her annoying, im just glad to be around her. its ok to bicker and fight, but dont take your sister for granite, and be patient. she is after all younger than you and, although its hard, at least try to resist the urge to smack her across the face.

    Yes you are normal. Your parents should be scolding her for doing something she knows annoys you to the point of walking away. At least you didn't hit her or yell at her.

    Honestly I feel you. See I'm the oldest of four kids. I have 2 younger brothers and one younger sister. She always annoys the fucking shit out of me and knows that she does. Usually what I do is I yell at her and I do it because she slaps me. My mom and stepdad always talk to her but when it comes to me they act like it is the end of the world.
