[Grammar] get on one's nerves

[contiluo]

I tried to rewrite #1 into #2 and #3 as follows. How can I make them sound natural?

1. And my sisters…I think they are the big trouble in my family, they don’t obey anyone's words and they let everyone angry. (Originally written by a junior ESL student.)
2. I think my sisters are a big trouble in my family because they are going through their rebellious stage. They are often in a defiant attitude towards elder’s advice and make elders angry.
3. I think my disobedient sisters are the troublemakers in my family because they don’t take advice from elders and always get on their nerves.

First of all, you didn't try to rewrite that sentence. You did. What you tried to do was make it better. Perhaps:

My sisters are rebellious and disobedient. They often make the elders angry when they refuse to take their advice.

We don't normally use 'elders' of older members of a family

And if we did, we would probably say the elders as we're referencing a specific family.

Try that.
