Some thread on here have made me think.
My sister has children but she only contacts me if its about herself or the children. She never asks about me or my life. Its all about her life. I can understand she gets busy and consumed with the kids but I have a life too but she never wants to hear about tht! Not only this but I was all excited about buying her kids presents took a lot of thought and care and she never even said thank you or any response like oh they will love them etc. Its so selfish. She deleted me off facebook 8 mths ago , she moved away a year ago and up until a week ago or so been virtually ignored unless its to tell mum wht presents kids want for their birthdays but guess what she's moving back and now starts calling me hun and added me bk as a friend on fbook and says if I move bk up will I help with kids! Hmmm nice hey. Nt been in touch but then says all this and again only about her and kids! Not how have I been, none of tht. To top it all off she wants to move round corner from me. When she did live up here before all she did was want every1 to run round after her and caused arguments if she didn't get any attention. It was very stressful and I am very apprehensive about this love kids but still feeling stressed Anyone else got a similar issues? Thanks x

Sounds like it has the potential to be a bad situation. Be strong. People only walk over you if you lie on the floor for them!

She's very up herself isn't she.
No real words of wisdom here, just try to steer clear when she moves back.

Have you raised any of this with your sister? Along the lines of "Frankly you were pretty rude to me before, not so much as a thank you for presents, never mind a 'how are you'. What was that all about?"

She deleted you off facebook???? That's a brutal insult. Then expecting help with kids...! Say yes of course you'd love to but your rates are £10ph Grin

Joking aside, I agree with WhereYouLeftIt, you need to have A Talk and find out why it's ok for her to drop you utterly when she moves away, then expect you to fit your life around hers when she moves back.
