My son went to the city proper last Saturday. That was the time when the lock down started. He went to the city to purchase some items for the online business that I am in to, though the items are for us at home only, and 2 items for a colleague of mine.
My sister, upon knowing that my son was going to the city, requested him to purchase the hair dye and oxidizing agent she jotted down in a piece of paper.
I wrote my orders with the letter of authorization in a sheet of prescription pad, which was affirmed by an employee of PC (the online business) when I texted her. My instructions were well- understood because it stated everything I wanted my son to get. the lady employee prepared the items and my son just paid for it when he picked it up from their office.
My sister also wrote a letter of authorization in a small yellow stick-on piece of paper, but I think it was not complete because the lady employee did not give my son her orders.
My son gave me my orders, and they were complete. My sister received hers with many complaints. She got annoyed at my son.
I know I am on the MYOB attitude but when she started berating my son (to which he answered her back), I commented to her that "she should have written in detail all her instructions so the lady will comprehend what she requested".
Until the dinner time to going to sleep, she was quiet, and my son also refused to talk to her.
Now, where do I stand... again?
And again now, they are on speaking terms.

that is so true. i don't know if my sister is so much of attention-seeker, because she wants everything correct and right under our noses.

These things do happen but your sister should understand and should have written in detail

@LadyDuck hello and Merry Christmas. i love your avatar.
Hopefully my parcel of land will be bought and we can go to the city proper for my heart operation. It takes months, as told by my cardiologist, to be listed on priority for the surgery, and i am keeping my fingers crossed about it.

hello, Ma'am. yes, obviously, my sister is so condescending that everything she wants to be done or happen, should be done, or should happen. i believe nobody but she, can change her attitude.

Awwww your sister talaga (really) hihihihi
I remember when i go out to buy.. I also ask my parents to write down all the things they want me to buy.. And at times my father still complains if I was not able to buy some things he wrote down ( and didn't write down) LOL
Most of the time I forget if it's not written down especially when my bags are already heavy. It's like my mind is no longer functioning hihihihi...

true, hija. it is so hard to understand my sister. but right now, i think our sibling relationship is going well because i would often tell her about her sarcasm when she communicates or talks alone.

up till now, whenever she requests some items to be bought by my son, i let my son post it in his reminders in his phone, word for word. i do not like seeing the sarcastic looks of my sister to my son.

did the employee ask your son any questions about your sister's orders?

no, she just based it on what was written on my sister's note. she explained it to my son but my son said he cannot follow my sister's instructions and it would be better for her to jot it down.

I'm glad my aunts are not here, or maybe I would be sharing the same problem you have.

i think every person is unique; there may be some similarities, but there may be differences too between your aunt and my sister.

i agree with you.
well, at this very hour, she is watching for the second time, this action Korean series where she is fangirling this handsome actor (to the point too that she downloaded his Korean songs and has his picture in her phone now).
