To be annoyed at my sister for missing an important family event?

[sweetkitty]

I probably am and will probably get flamed but here goes. In January I sent out the date of a important event for my DS, think once in his lifetime imports to him kind of thing. My sister is his godmother and very close to him.

About 3 weeks ago she tells me she can’t come she’s away with work, she has a job where she travels an awful lot but I had assumed she would have blocked out the date.

Today she posts she’s at a Health/Fitness convention, she’s recently turned into a health/gym nut and I think she’s booked this then realised it’s clashed with DSs thing.

I am annoyed that she’s lied and posted the whole days iternary of FB (she’s turned into a health bore posting work outs at 4am/green juices/boot camp holidays) and said she’s working? DS was upset when I said she couldn’t come today.

DH said forget about it if she had wanted to be there she would have been.

My sil is my daughter's godmother , didn't come to church bit , came to meal and left right away after , granted she has a 14 month old but neither her or my brother stayed to celebrate after . I hope they remember this when it's their own child's celebration.

YABU - It's a religious ceremony …. I'd avoid it too … However, I'd have been honest and said... "I'm not coming, I have something else I'd rather be doing" …. my family would understand …

“YABU - It's a religious ceremony …. I'd avoid it too ”

Presumably you would also have avoided being the child’s godmother?

She should have attended. Very rude of her IMO.

Had sister told you she was going to attend and then told you she was doubled booked for a spa/fitness weekend I would be annoyed the spa was chosen over son. Perhaps she had paid a deposit but given the length of notice you gave her sure this would have been refunded. YANBU
