sis was supposed to visit today. originally told my bro she was visitin me and i only found out when he told me. when i managed to get in touch with her, she said she would have to let me know. fair enough.

now, i know that my brother told me that she'd asked him when he was going home, he said satday (today), {he'd made the effort to visit cos of dd's bday}.she then said to him that oh well, it's not worth me going down then if you're not going to be there.
(he didn't leave until after 6pm fgs)

from then until now, i have been unable to get intouch with her, her mobile ansa phone clicks in at different places and there was no answer on her land line. she couldn't even be bothered to pick up the phone and tell me she wasn't coming

i am so angry with her, she makes the effort to see her friend's family (a good2hr drive away) but cannot make the effort to come and see her 2yr old niece on her bday weekend unless my bro was going to still be here. she has seen her only a handful of times since she was born 2years ago ffs!

But she never told YOU that she was coming?

fransmom · 28/04/2007 20:51

no not until i got in touch with her to find out if it was right.

That's more or less what I was going to say, Lazyline.

If she didn't make arrangements with you then maybe she didn't think you would be expecting her.

I can understand your frustration but next time maybe you need to make your arrangements with her, not via your brother.

i didn't use my brother as a go-between i did phone her to ask if it was right she was thinking of coming dwn this saturday and she said she would let me know the time! she makes the effort to see her friend's child maybe i think she should make the same effort to see her neice. then sis wouldn't be able to moan so much about dd not knowing her

So she didn't actually get back to you with the time? I would have assumed, then, that she wasn't coming.

(I didn't say you used your brother as a go-between, btw - I said it would be better to make your arrangements directly with her, not via someone else. My post crossed with yours where you said that you'd spoken to her as well).

Maybe you could visit her?

fransmom · 29/04/2007 20:18

bit difficult for me - i don't have lots of spare cash to visit her in yorkshire from sw. and last time i went i wasn't exactly made to feel welcome like i would with her
