I yelled at my brother and sister in law this morning, I finally had to say something. Some background on why I did this is that they make me deal with our dog at night. A few weeks ago my sister in law was complaining about how the dog can't jump up on her bed, so we looked at stairs and they're expensive, so I guess they just decided to make me deal with it. They just keep their bedroom door shut now and the dog has to stay with me because of that. She can't jump on my bed either, I put up with the dog whining and waking me up 5 times a night to pick her up so she can sleep on my bed. Now for the past week or more I've been sleeping on the floor because I can't take it anymore. I also have to keep my door open so she can come and go as she wants. My brother noticed a little while ago I was sleeping on the floor and I told him why, but he didn't say anything else about it. I don't feel like spending money either and I just figured I could put up with it till I go to school and haven't said a word about it.
So this morning my sister in law has the downstairs tv on kind of loud and the noise travels pretty well right into my room and of course I can't close my door. Then my brother is up getting ready for work and is making lots of noise too. I get up to use the bathroom and am pretty cranky, my brother see's me and asks why I'm up, I just say "It's to loud." and he just says "Oh." I try to go back to sleep, on the floor, and the tv is way to loud, I put a pillow over my head. Then they start talking, and they're not whispering, but talking in their regular loud voices and laughing, after I tell him it's to loud too. I wait it out as best as I can, figure it won't last to long, but I can't take it anymore.
I go downstairs and start yelling that they're being mean and I can't sleep, that I've been sleeping on the floor because they close their door and I can't close my door because of the dog. So my sister in law calls the dog to her and I'm so mad and in tears. I go back to my room and slam the door. I guess I was in tears because they were, to me at least, being inconsiderate and I don't have my mom or dad or anyone to stick up for me.
So later today they seem to be avoiding me. My brother asked me for a favor and I said I was mad at him. I told him again about sleeping on the floor and the dog and how they were talking loudly. He said something like "That's how I talk." and walked away and later says to me "I'd like to see how you'd live with roommates." Then they leave for the store and don't ask me if I want to go, which they usually would. I don't know what to do now, was I wrong to yell at them, was I just to cranky and sleepy? They do lots of nice things for me and like to include me when they go out, but now maybe I've ruined it. I have an idea to say I'm sorry and then be inconsiderate to them and just put up with what annoys me so I don't get alienated. I wonder if I just handled this all wrong.
