Who was being rude?

2 weeks ago my DSis messaged asking if we would be able to meet up as my family haven't seen hers for 18months or so. I replied back that we were free in August anytime after the 6th and asked when was good for them. She read the message that day but never replied. Two weeks go by and I message asking if they were ok and has she got any dates as we have other things to organise in August too and that as she has had two weeks hopefully she'll know what she has planned for August by now. She has got shirty saying I was rude and should just go do my other plans. I said she was rude for leaving me hanging for 2 weeks with no reply. Now I'm questioning whether I was rude to call her out on leaving me hanging or was she rude for not replying in the first place? Not to drip feed but she has not been to my house for 4 years, we always travel to hers (2 hours away). She also goes months without making contact and it is nearly always me who makes the first contact. Does she just not want to really meet and was just making pleasantries and I should have got that when she didn't reply for ages?

She's your younger sister right

I'm guessing her life is not as well planned as yours ?

We're actually the same age (twins). I'd imagine she is fairly organised as she works very successfully in finance.

I think someone could take offence at "hopefully she'll know what she has planned for August by now" without knowing your tone. But otherwise no I don't think you were rude. Some people have form for taking ages to reply when it comes to arrangements and I agree it is rude. It makes you feel like their time is more important than yours or that actually they're not bothered about meeting afterall.

Maybe she just likes a bit more flexibility in her life?
