Should I talk to my sister about this or no? My mom says my sister doesnt giver her any money. Should I get mad at my sister?

Long story: My sis just graduated from college she is the first. We have lived poorly throughout our lives because my mom came here from somewhere else when she was 18 she didnt go to school and had to work. My mom helped pay for my sis education. my mom is disabled right now and getting workers comp. During the summer, I had to quit my job because of illness and things were so bad at home, I couldnt buy a lot and i felt sad because i couldnt help my mom pay bills simultaneously my dad lost his job... and my sis was away at college during the summer. Now she is living with mom works at a bank makes 800 every two weeks. my mom says my sis helped pay bills last month. but my sis got her paycheck today and she didnt ask my mom if they wanted to eat out or give her at least 20$ dollars... to help buy food. My sis has 6 months to pay off loans.

If it were me i would be giving my mom every dime of what i would be making especially if i lived at home like my sisterl I saw my mom suffer this suffer because we didnt have enough money... and i would try to help pay for everything. my sister likes buying make up magazines she still doesnt realize what dire of a situation we are in i dont care if my sister gets mad at me but i think she should help my mom i have a part time job.. and get paid 100 every two weeks.. and i need to save money for college next semester i help my mom by giving her at least some money when i go back home i gave her 70$ and she used that to pay bills.. if i can do it then why cant my sister who makes 800 ******* dollars... my sister i feel is selfish

Well I do believe that you should tell your sister that she needs to help pay bills. I mean your mom helped pay for her education and she still stays with your mom. Your mom provides for her and does everything she can. Since she is living there with your mom then I think she should pay her part of the bills. She helps eat the food, uses electricity, water, phone, tv, and everything like that. So yes I do believe that you need to talk to your sister and let her know what you think she should be doing.

This is between your parents and your sister - your sister has her own life aswell she can't give every penny to your parents that is just ridiculous and why should she ask them if they want to eat out? For all you know your sister may have other debts or she may be saving up for her own place or something.

It's up to your mum to ask your sister for money, not you. Have a quiet word in your mum's ear if you feel that strongly about it, but you must leave the asking to her.

It's time for all of you to chip in to help pay the bills for your parents if you can. For better or for worse.

That's between your mom and your sister- stay out of it.
