Blaming someone for something they did not do happens all the time at my house. I blame my sister for things and she blames me. Usually it is just my sister blaming me for doing something to her that I did not do. Most of the time the blaming is over something like who did not feed the dog or take care of another chore. Because of the way I acted when I was younger my parents usually believe my little sister. It is understandable that they would do this because when I was little I was an extremely mischievous child. I would do anything to get out of getting in trouble. I would blame my brothers to get out of something. Now my sister is able to tag a lot of blame on me. From time to time I do deserve the blame, but for the most part she is putting the blame on an undeserving, poor, innocent boy. Some of the main consequences that have been laid up me are not being able to go do something, or having extra chores to do. Usually the punishment is not that bad and I can stand it. However there are some times when you blame someone else that it could be dangerous to do so. You may be putting someone in danger, and you could be straining the relationship between you and that person. If you do not like that person it may be a good way to get even with them however, but being the good person I am it is not likely that I would do that to my sister, or anyone else. Psych I would probably do that to my sister, but not to someone I did not know that well. I have blamed people before and I have found that I have felt guilty about it later. So I am trying to stay away from blaming other people for things they did not do.
