[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 289493, member: 2459"] Geesh. Definately take her off your page....no sense dealing with that carp. As for your father.....I don't know what he does or doesn't know/realize about her and what his attitude is but I would be (somewhat) frank with him. I would tell him that for whatever reasons, the two of you just don't get along and occasionally there are obvious bumps in the relationship. (I tried to come up with another phrase but could only think of words/phrases like takes offense, overreacts....you know....those innocent little terms that, if repeated to sis from dad, would cause her to do exactly that.) If she calls him again to "tattle" (ahem...you may want to use a different word when talking to dad :raspberry-tounge: ) tell him to just take it with a grain of salt and not to worry about it unless he hears BOTH sides of the story. If there's something going on with you that he needs to know about, you'll let him know. Otherwise, he can make nice noises to her and then just forget about it. He IS your dad and hers so I would also let him know that you do love her.... but the two of you just don't see eye to eye. Not his fault, not yours and not hers. It's just the way it is at least for now. I would just make sure you keep it as neutral and non-judgemental as possible so if he were to repeat it to sis, while SHE may go off about it, at least he'll know you weren't actually telling tales or badmouthing, you know? Honestly, I don't think talking to her about not bugging dad will do any good. I would predict that if you did that, she'd go running right to him about how mean you are and how you're trying to keep her from him and that would just defeat the whole purpose of the conversation.
