huh? Oh no, the talk about the attempts was MUCH earlier this year. Sorry for not clarifying.

Yeah, I know I probably try to parent my brother. I'm trying to stop.

Hopefully, I'll be able to get a part-time job soon, so I'm not around her so much...

I think part of it is the different ways we think. I was around males a lot growing up, since I have more "masculine" interests (computers, video games, etc.), I had a lot more male best friends, and I started thinking more like them. She thinks like a woman ("spaghetti", basically meaning everything touches everything else in her mind.), while I'm more of a waffle-spaghetti mix ("waffle", being compartmentalizing).
I also have an IQ high enough (140+) that it is hard for me to do some things that normal IQ people find simple, which she has a difficult time understanding (not that she isn't smart, she has a fairly high IQ, I think. My dad, however, doesn't have the problem I do, and he's got a very high IQ, so long as it's one of the things he's good at). I try to do the stuff, but it can be frustrating for both of us when I'm trying to do something that most people find simple. Building things? I can do that. Computers? You bet. But stuff with my fingers (I tend to suck at crafts, for example) and things like checks? Have to ask how to do it every time.

Alright, I talked to Dad about it, and he's going to talk to her after I go to bed. Here's praying I'm still alive in the morning. :P
