Be firm, be consistent. I applaud you for being good enough to take your sister in, but don't let her walk all over you. Stick to the week. If she's still not out by then, find a shelter for her to stay in. That is a HUGE wake up call, especially because they won't tolerate the drugs. My brother and sister both have had to live in shelters in the past, and it was a huge kick in the butt to finding their own place. I have had both of them stay with me in the past, and I understand your feelings. It's hard to say no when a family member is in trouble...but if she can't abide by your parents rules, she's not going to want to abide by any you set and this is a set up for disaster. Good luck with all of this!
