Hi I could really use some advice please. It's my dad's birthday coming up & sister has invited our parents to her house for lunch & she hasn't invited me or her nephew
(he's 4 & half months old). This isn't the first time she's excluded me, she invited my parents out for lunch for our dad's birthday last year & didn't invite me claiming she had no room on the car for me to go. I'm really upset being excluded again. How do I go about talking to her about it as she's really sensitive & gets easily offended & can get quite defensive??

How often do you see your sister? I get the feeling that she's just not that bothered about seeing you.

Either call and say "would you mind if we come too - it would be nice to see you both" or don't.
It sounds like she's the one doing all the nice things and everyone else just moans

Could you just talk to your sister?

You say she's defensive but that might be too bad really, the only way to find out what's going on is just to ask her. You don't need to go in all guns blazing, but you won't find a solution on here.

Did you ring and speak to your sister, @Anon2126 to find out why you used to spend birthdays together but now she doesn’t want you there?

Hi yes I have tried talking to her, I've been ringing her for the last couple of days at home & her mobile & got no answer. When I finally got through yesterday, she said she can't talk, she too busy 😔
