I don't really think YOU did anything wrong... Your mom suspected, you instructed the logical thing to do, and you were helpful. What your mother and sis do with the information is up to them and not your fault. Your sister really needed to be honest anyway and your mom needed to know she was being ripped off (it is deeper than simply money)... if your sis decides to go away that is her choice and again not your "fault"... Don't allow yourself to be drawn into the middle of anything, and don't judge them for their choices... I see how its tough though, so I wish you good luck with a sticky situation!  |

I don't think you did anything wrong at all. You did the right thing and your sister is the one that was wrong for stealing from your mother and brother. If she was that desperate for money and was in trouble she should have asked your mother for help. Stealing is wrong expecially from family. You only suggested to your mother what she should do and then followed through with it. You did nothing wrong and shouldn't feel bad for that, but being it is family it is hard not to. Maybe your mother won't fire her but they definitely need to sit down and talk to her about things, maybe even garnish her paychecks for a while till the money that she stole is paid back.  |

First, wrong it wrong, pointing it out is not always a bad thing. Remember though it's not that you spilled the milk it's how you clean it up. Help your family clean it up. |

You did nothing wrong, you're sister was basically stealing from your mother, all you did was suggest something, you're sister did the wrong, not you and she has to take responsibility and deal with it.  |

First of all, a business cannot have money leaking or it will go under. Second, it's wrong to steal which is what your sister is doing. Third, you're not in trouble because you're trying to do the right thing. Your sister is abusing her relationship with her mother because she short on money--which, if she needs it, should ask, and then try to pay it back. Tell them flatly you know what's going on, and this is how you see it. If your Mom is willing to be vicimized, then she's the one who's in trouble, because she is likely to lose everything.  |

Hon I think it is a good thing you spoke up. Sometimes when two peaopl are having trouble it is good to get things out in the open if they are mad at eachother usually a good leaving alone will cure it. They cant stay upset with eachother forever, give it time!  |

Ugh... how ugly. I think you did your mom a favor by letting her know what your sister was doing. She had no right to steal from your mom. And it was her crime, not yours. I generally don't believe in butting in between relationships, but in a case like this you did good. Your sister needs to stop taking advantage of the situation. If she was working for someone else, she may have been sued and in a lot more trouble than this.  |
