Context: I (23) have a very poor sleeping schedule ( ADHD ) and have a tough time falling asleep. Once I do fall asleep however, I become really angry when someone wakes me up, almost enraged, then I struggle to sleep again for the next 1-2 hours. It’s something I struggle with.
I work from home and I have two sisters (21&18) who go to classes during the week. Usually my mom takes them, but since last year my mom has gotten busy and my sisters had to take Ubers. The problem was that my one sister couldn’t book Ubers because her account was blocked and the other sister is unreliable, so they depended on me to book all their Ubers. I would wake up around 7:30-8am with burning eyes and spend another 30min sorting them out before going back to sleep. Then I would be woken up later to book them an uber back home. It was horrible and It ended up affecting my sleep and well being a lot. I ended up having a gentle conversation with my sister and they understood and started sorting themselves out.
All went well for the next few months, until today. I had just managed to fall asleep at around 6-7am after an entire night of being awake. My sister comes in to wake me up at around 7:30am saying they need me to open the gate when they leave because the spare key is missing. I tried to compose myself, but I grew angry really fast. I told them to just take the key with them, but they said that mom needed it. I decided to just try and go back to sleep, but my phone was being spammed with messages saying they need my help because they only have cash for the uber and the uber fare is going up ( Basically it means i have to stay up and book an uber my side like last time ). I was angry at this point and said it’s not my responsibility to make sure they get to class, but I’m up anyway so I’ll just help out. My sister replied “Omfg just leave it” then moments later they left for class (I’m assuming they spoke to mom and worked something out ).
Now I’m laying in bed with mixed feelings. I feel happy that they sorted themselves out, but also feeling a bit bad. I feel like I’ve caused many inconveniences and I’m supposed to be “part of the family and help out”. Im also too angry to fall asleep and my sister knows how much i struggle but chooses to wake me anyway.
AITAH?
