This happened a few hours ago and I’m still fuming thinking about it. I’m not sure if it totally belongs to this sub but here we go.

My (28F) sister (25F) is crashing in my apartment for 2 nights because she’s traveling home and needed somewhere to stay in Paris. She can’t/doesn’t really wanna book a hotel because why do it when you can stay at your sister’s for free? She’s my sister, I love her so when she asked me if she could spend a few nights here I didn’t have a problem.

Anyway, so tonight we were eating dinner and she asked me what I did exactly at my job. I have a hard time explaining to people and I told her that and I tried explaining.

Then she told me that by the way I am (sour, according to her), it’s obvious that I don’t like my job and that I should find something that I really like to do so I stop feeling like crap?? I told her that the whole “find a job you like so you’ll feel like you don’t have to work” is utter bs and that I don’t care about doing this job that doesn’t excite me because I’m very well paid (the one thing I like spending my money on is traveling, and this year my job allowed me to take 5 trips abroad. Therefore I don’t complain about my job).

This is my second job and I don’t love it. I didn’t love my first one either. I told her my sole motivation to work was the money, why else would I give a company 35h of works weekly?? I told her I’m willing to do a job that doesn’t fulfill my life as long as I’m being well paid, and this is the case.

She said it was sad that I only did it for three money and then said “my job isn’t perfect but I really like it and it’s better that way”.

THE AUDACITY. She’s trying to shame me, but 2 days ago was asking me if I could lend her 150€??? And if I couldn’t do it she’d try to pay with my dad’s credit card??? And she owes me more than 1000€ so I don’t know what she’s criticizing when my job, that doesn’t fulfill me, allows me to lend her money.
