...to be angry & upset with parents for considering going to see sister in Oz?

[flowerfairy]

Sister emigrated to Oz with her family at the end of August and have had many a rant about that with Dh, knowing what they ar elike and also discussed with mum at length. Now my parents are considering (and with great probability will go at the beginning of DEc and spend Xmas over there with them. I have my own family(Dh, 2dc and my in laws will be coming for lunch on the day and had assumed my parents would be there too. My Dsister has always relied on my mum for childcare and support while living over here and now they are hot footing it over there. My Dh says I should remind them that they have another daughter and 2 more grandchildren too. HAve waves of feeling selfish and then waves of feeling very emotional nd angry that they will be going over there when they haven't even been gone 6months yet! My mparents will be back in time ofr my birthday and my kids, bu twould still be bitterly disappointed they weren't here.

Wimble what MODS?

But why would you bother to revive a five year old thread to give a six word response?!

I'm intrigued as to how you found the thread.

I remember it the first time around. I'm on it under a different name, I was very kind I must have been having a mellow day.

God OP, you sound very hard work, not to mention rather passive aggressive.

"maybe you're right ssd that's why i had come on and feel anonymous and will remember to bottle things up instead!"

Oh FFS.

IT IS A ZOMBIE - FEEL FREE TO GIVE OUT OF DATE ADVICE TO AN OP WHO HAS LONG SINCE MOVED ON

THANK YOU!

We don't have mods - I think you are confusing us with NM

HQ don't deactivate zombies in case it upsets newbies - so people end up trawling through a five year old thread

I didn't mean you Giddy

My half sister lives in oz! She has done since 1990! My parents spent a few long holidays over there. They enjoyed it.

Never once felt jealous.

I don't understand why you had to rant about your sister moving. They probably really miss them and want to experience a hot Christmas.

ZOMBIE

YABU - one day one of your DC may move 12000 miles away, imagine if the other were put out that you wanted to visit your child on the other side of the world and their children for Christmas.

Oh....Zombie - who the hell resurrected this?

I hope they had a good Christmas

YABU

You write as if your sister has no rights to see her parents. You sound quite jealous TBH

Hi GoatsFeet - are we related

Read the last few posts, Goats, it's a zombie. The sister might have moved back again by now.

Moving to a different country, as lovely as it may sound, it can be very very difficult. Often it's within the first year, that you start to feel really down. The honeymoon period of moving to your new country finishes and you realize just how different things are. Your sister may really need something to cheer her up by Christmas. And your parents would be just the thing to do this. Plus it does take time to make new circles of friends, and Christmas can be very hard alone .

ZOMBIE!! Ffs - read the last few posts

Wimbledon, how did you even find such an ancient thread? And didn't you notice the zombie warning?

Why ressurect a 5 yr old thread?

What use is your advice 5 yrs too late?

How the hell do you find them?

Flowerfairy i think I kind of get where you are coming from. You know you are being VVVVVU but can't help how you feel. I left home many years ago and had lots of episodes of jealousy when I thought that either I missed out on things or people, and my siblings got so much time and attention. Years have passed and I still get those feelings, but am able to see that I chose to leave, and that's nobody else's fault. I was lucky to have my parents visit every other Christmas; that was a good compromise. Hopefully in time you will find one too.
