I am actually very angry with my sis and want to have it out with her but I have managed to control myself so far.
A year ago we moved to Belgium and my sis still lives in the SE of the UK. In that time she has not been out to see us once. She claims that its too expensive to come out here to visit. However she has managed to go to the swiss Alps and on numerous weekends cycling in Wales and various other parts of the UK. She has also been out to see my parents in France twice.
My youngest dd was born 18 months ago while we where still living in the UK. My sister has met her twice. She popped in when she was passing with her then boyfriend and stayed for a couple of hours as she was on her way to a weekend away. The other time we visited her.
She claims it is easier for me to visit her with two young dds than for her to travel to see us. In her defence she does not have children yet and has no idea what its like travelling with young kids - even though I have tried to explain.
The result is I am really pissed off that she doesnt seem to be bothered about seeing her nieces - she would rather go on holiday with her boyfriend.
AIBU to be really pissed off and want to tell her exactly what I think?
I have refrained from having an argument as I imagine it would probably just make the situation worse - perhapes she just doesnt want to come and visit. My oldest DD thinks she is great and as we dont see many relatives on my DH side this is the only Aunt she actually has any contact with.
