So my sister has been on probation from work for the past few months, and she just told

me this last week.

So it looks like she's going to be laid off or fired for poor performance, and she's called to let me know that she's going to be

moving in with us. Um, so this is not okay with me for several reasons, you know, financial

boundaries, home dynamics, um, et cetera. So I, I don't know what to do. I mean, I feel really

bad. She's my sister. Um, I have an extra bedroom, but I don't know what to do. I mean, I feel really bad. She's my sister. I have an extra

bedroom, but I don't really have the space or, you know, I'm in debt myself, so I can't take

on another person. And so I'm just calling to get your advice.

How old is she?

Almost 60. 60 or 59.

59?

Yes.

I thought you were going to say 19.

So why can't she perform at work at 59 years old?

Well, I've seen it's been coming for years.

She's very unmotivated. She's smart. She has two master's degrees. She's got a fixed-figure job, but she's just let her life go downhill slowly, but surely, you know, her weight, her finances, her job performance. There is some prescription pain medications that come into play,

which I think is that her motivation to perform well.

But, you know, she's let this happen to herself,

and now I feel like I'm expected to solve her problem for her.

Yeah.
