Is it normal to get tired of your family

Now that I am grown enough to understand being an adult, I don’t know if it’s normal to get tired of your own family. Im a young adult so i still live with my parents while i’m in college, just to give some background. My sister is older than me and still lives here too. I just wanted to know if it was normal to get annoyed with your sibling if they are so irresponsible with things. She is constantly asking me to borrow money and starts a huge argument if i say no. Also to give some background, she drinks everyday so of course i do not want to loan her money. She takes these arguments so personally which makes our sibling relationship toxic. As i mentioned im in college and i also only have time to work 3 days a week while on the other hand she works a lot and also her wage is more. I just wanted to ask if your siblings do this to you and also ask for some advice.

    Don’t give her shit. Regardless of what she plans to spend it on. Save your money and plan for your future.

    I don't have any advice, but good for you for not being an enabler of what sounds like toxic behavior. You can love your family and still get tired of them, especially when they act like that

    It's not only normal to be tired of someone who is an alcoholic who routinely asks to borrow money, but it's completely normal to be downright sick of such a person.

    Absolutely normal to notice things after gaining outside perspective and not be okay with them. Happened to me. My older friends have talked about the other 'side' of it as parents. You and your family will need to adjust to each other. It won't be plain sailing, but it's definitely normal.

    Dont loan her shit. As the older sibling you gotta try to guide your sister alittle as well. She needs to learn how to manage her money. Maybe you could help her learn to do that but dont give her money all the time.
