Her 10-Year-Old Sister Stole And Destroyed $200 Worth Of Makeup, So She Wants Her Sister To Pay Her Back Using Her Birthday Money
This 24-year-old woman recently moved back home to her parent’s house so she could complete trade school. So, she is now paying rent and sharing a Jack and Jill bathroom with her little sister– who is 10-years-old.
The process has not been seamless, though, since her sister has been invading her privacy.
The first thing she noticed was some random spilled wax and slime all over the countertops and light switches in her side of the bathroom.
After that, she spoke to her parents– asking them to keep her little sister out of her side of the bathroom– and everything was fine.
But, about two weeks ago, the problems escalated. One day, she was supposed to go out on a date when she realized she could not seem to find any of her makeup.
At that point, she asked her sister if any of the beauty products had been removed from her bathroom. However, her sister straight-up denied taking anything and said, “I didn’t even know you wore makeup.”
And at the time, she actually believed her sister because, according to her, her sister was a pretty good kid.
So, she wound up assuming that she must have just lost her makeup while moving back home. Quite frankly, though, that really upset her because she likes to invest in expensive makeup products.
“I ended up going to the store that day and just replacing the concealer and foundation for $100 since I couldn’t afford to replace my whole set,” she recalled.

After waking up yesterday, though, she walked into her bathroom and found the old foundation and concealer sitting right on her counter. In fact, they were even on top of the brand-new items she had just bought.
So, she asked her mom if she had found the products somewhere. But her mom claimed to have never touched them.
It was also pretty clear that the bottles had leaked, too, because there was makeup covering the outside, and there was much less product inside.
And after sharing that, her mom immediately thought her little sister was responsible and decided to go into her sister’s room to look around.
It didn’t take long for her mom to start tearing apart the bedroom, and soon afterward, she dumped out a drawer that proved her sister was behind the makeup mishap.
But that drawer did not just have her stolen makeup, though. It also had a bunch of her mom’s makeup that had gone missing, too.
“My sister had taken two makeup palettes of mine– one I hadn’t even opened yet– and brushes, lipstick, eyeliner, basically everything,” she explained.
“On top of that, my mom found open containers of slime and paint that had seeped into the carpet and other stuff she had stolen from around the house.”
What made it worse was that none of the items could be salvaged, either. Instead, her sister had destroyed everything.
The pallets had all been cracked and mixed together, and the makeup brushes had paint in them. The lipsticks were also mashed, and everything was covered in a layer of slime.
Yet, when she and her parents finally confronted her little sister, her sister still tried to deny everything. In fact, her sister tried claiming that she never even used any of the makeup– which was obviously a lie.
So, her parents wound up grounding her little sister for a month– taking away her phone and all other electronics. Plus her parents also offered to pay her back for the makeup products.
Honestly, though, she doesn’t want her parents to reimburse her– she wants her sister to pay her back. After all, her sister stole and destroyed close to $200 worth of makeup and lied to her face about the whole thing. And she has only been living back at home for three weeks!
That’s why, with her little sister’s eleventh birthday coming up in two months, she’s not sure if she should make her sister use any gifted birthday money to pay her back.
On the one hand, she does feel like taking her sister’s birthday money might be cruel– mainly because that’s the only spending money her sister receives all year.
But, even though her parents suggested chores as punishment, she isn’t happy with that idea, either.
“What chores is she gonna do for me to pay me back? I do more chores than her, and I pay rent!” she vented.
So, now that her parents have left the decision up to her, she’s been left wondering whether making her little sister use birthday money to pay her back would be a jerky thing to do.
Do you think grounding her little sister is punishment enough? Or should her sister also have to pay her back for the makeup? If so, is forcing her sister to use her birthday money cruel or justified? Are there other ways her sister could earn money to pay her back?
