Such a loving household I live in...
 
I'm not really sure how to start any of this off, but I suppose here goes nothing. .__.

I've never really gotten along with the people I live with. These people consist of my dad, mom, and younger sister.
My dad works nights, so he never really see's what happens at the house as he's normally sleeping or at work. When he is at home, he can be a grinch or he can be okay, just sitting and watching TV. He's the only one who will ever take my side in any argument I have with my mom/sister.
My mom is just a bitch, period. She stresses me out beyond belief, right along with my sister. She'll yell at me because I have nicer things (all of which I pay for, since only me and my father have a job) than my sister, and how I don't "share" them with her. I'll buy my own clothing, which will promptly disappear within a week and I'll have to go fish it out of my sisters room. By that time, it'll normally have some kind of stain on it, because she'll wear it to school/let her friends borrow it. I don't have time to keep track of every article of clothing I have, I work almost 30-35 hours a week at my job and I'm a full time college student. To top it off, I try to visit my boyfriend as much as possible, so I don't have time to look in my closet to see if my clothes are still there. Then again, I shouldn't have to, right?

My sister has always stolen items from me, since she was 8 I believe. She's 12 now, so it's been going on for a long time, and NOTHING has been done. She steals my clothes, games, books, and even recently, my IPOD. Her punishment for all of this is simply nothing. My mom might yell at her for 15-30 minutes, and will treat her like shit pretty much. She'll call her a bitch and honestly, I think she pushes it with the things she says. So, she'll make my sister cry, and I can only imagine the things my sister is thinking after those lectures.

I'm pissed at my mother because of the iPod Touch incident. I went to school the other day and just left my iPod in my room. I wasn't going to use it, so I felt no need to bring it along. I had my door locked and everything (I had to buy a lock to try and prevent my items from being stolen, but it's done no good since I live in my mothers house and she "NEEDS" a key, just in case.. pft), and somehow, my sister STOLE my iPod, right out of my room, with my mother right downstairs. My moms keys (which holds my door key) are in her room, which is where she was, and my sister just went in and took them and she didn't even notice, I mean, wtf?
So, my sister takes the iPod, all the accessories, etc. and changed EVERYTHING on it! She deleted my pictures/apps, changed the background, even added a PASSWORD to it. She made it her own, and then later, after I'd taken it from her she claimed she was only "borrowing it" because she was bored. So, after I get my iPod back, I go and tell my mom about it and what's she do? She does her normal lecture thing, but she also grounds my sister from texting her friends for one week. WHAT kind of punishment is that? My sister steals a $300+ item and she gets TEXTING taken away? Oh, and just to top it off, this is day 3 of my sisters "groundation", I'm sitting on the opposite side of the couch from her, and she's texting right now. Typical.

To top things off even more, I woke up this morning to nothing but yelling. My mom was yelling at my sister over food, and I have no clue why. She then came and woke me up and stole the heater from my room. The heater that was in my room I took from the bathroom, because honestly, why does a heater need to be there, when everyone else has a heater in their room BUT me? So I took it last night so I'd wake up warm for once. My mom's reason for taking the heater - she's tired of being cold in the bathroom. Okay, so I don't deserve to stay warm in my bedroom? Maybe I'M tired of being cold in my room EVERY DAY. I do ALL my homework in my room, and I almost never leave my room honestly. I don't like being out with everyone else, they're that unpleasant to be around.

So Mene, WHAT should I do? Should I just continue to ignore the ignorance in my house, and stay holed up in my room? Because that's not helping me at all. It puts me in such a negative mood that I don't even want to do anything at all. I just want to sit there and honestly...sit. So, I end up not doing homework and putting it off.

Ugh, tl;dr rant, but I'm TIRED of being treated like a piece of shit in this house, when I've done NOTHING wrong. I get walked on all over, I just hate coming back to my house, no matter how little I am here. ;____;

Your family sounds a LOT like mine.
My sister would steal my things, and my brother would never punish her for it because he was never around to see her stealing my things, and she would scream and cry harder than I would whenever I picked on her, or took her things.
And then my brother would get mad at me for taking my sisters things OR EVEN GOING INTO HER ROOM TO TAKE BACK MY THINGS!!!!!!
And tell me that I shouldn't just go into her room, and I should ask for them back.
But then when I just ask for them back, my sister LIES about it and refuses to return it.

Uhg.

I suggest move out, as quickly as you can. That's the only way I stopped fighting with my family, and I've only been home for a week now because I needed oral surgery and shit and no places where I lived that were half decent took my insurance, and me and my sister are fighting ALL the time, because she can't keep her nasty hands off my shit. She even gave away the hair straightener I lent her a year ago when I left for college (I finally asked her for it back when I was here for xmas, after reminding her to have it ready for me when I got home for xmas since like, august), and she said she gave it to one of her friends). :/
It was a $100 cermaic straightener with 20 heat settings and several ceramic plates and vents so that I can use it when my hair is wet, that I bought with my own money, and my brother won't replace it, or make my sister replace it.
=___=

I think you should take your mom's key back, tell her that if she can't keep the key away from your sister, she can't have it.
That's what I'd do.
And again, move out. ASAP. Run, run as fast as you can.

Ohhh, I'm beyond planning to move out, I'm just waiting for this semester to end. >__<; Gotta live in my parents house for the first year... I could move out early, but I'd rather not chance getting in trouble, lol. D: Just wish May would come sooner.. </3

Me and the boyfriend have already began saving, and I believe we'll be good to go when the time comes to move out. I've been slowly buying little things we'll need and hoarding them into my closet, but it's getting so full I'm running out of space. D:

Ugh, I just want to RUN, like you suggested, because what your sister did with the straightener sounds JUST like my sister, only my sister wouldn't have asked to borrow it, she would have just taken it and said nothing about it. -___-; I don't lend ANYONE in my household anything anymore, because they never give it back in the condition that I let them use it.

Well, she took it to begin with, so I took it back, and when she claimed it was hers I showed her the receipt, she then yelled at me claiming I stole that too, so I slapped her and got grounded for a month. I admit I shouldn't have slapped her, but she knows better than to yell in my face, it bothers me more than anything else, and I've asked her a billion times not to, and told her if she did it again I would slap her.
So then she ignored me for a few days, and then asked for it, so I let her have it, because I was trying to be nice. But even now she keeps refusing to replace it, so I just today spoke to my brother about it, who said he'd make her look for it, and if he couldn't find it, he would replace it for me. :)

I still would run, take my keys, lock my shit in the room, and then go away for a few days without saying a word until they realize I'm gone.
I've done it before, and even though it didn't change things in the long run, for the next few weeks, I had made my point, and people stopped being fuckheads for a bit.

why does everyone's sisters have to touch everything that isn't theirs? My sister steals everything and i never see it again but, heres the catch she put a lock on her door to prevent me from taking my things back bcuz she thinks i'm stealing her crap which i don't want believe me. I don't want my little pony shit in my room.
