to think I am not taking anything away from my sister?

I have 2 sisters one is 4 years younger and one is 5 years younger, 18months between them.

Growing up they did more things together and I was always separate. Not especially close to either, but youngest one has always had a fiery temper and very stroppy etc. TBH she reminds me of my abusive mother and I feel on egg shells around her.

My OH and I started in October to go to watch a sporting event as it was a special Halloween themed one and looked like something different to do. When I said to my Dad about it he had mentioned that youngest sister had been going to see it sometimes. OH used to go years ago and has just got back into it, he goes maybe 3/4 times a month and I will go with him maybe once every 6 weeks. I quite enjoy it but am not a huge fan, it is just something to do that has a good fun atmosphere and entertainment. Also is only 10mins from house so is easy to get to etc. The venue holds 4000 spectators each time

I have only ever seen youngest sister there once, where she waved at me and that was it. She likes to keep where she goes/who with etc very private!

Apparently she has been telling other family that she is really upset and angry with me for going to watch this event as it "her" thing and I am "taking it away from her"?!

AIBU to think she sounds like a spoilt toddler?
