My sister has never really taken an interest My kids and always spent time and money on her partners nephew and nieces despite mine being her family I always found this upsetting and for my
Kids too .

Now my other sister has had a baby and she is spending time money and investing a lot more than she ever did with my kids. I feel like it is she is making this position so obvious to the rest of the family by showering new baby with gifts when mine barely got a thing or even a visit.

When my first baby was born she was my closest family member geographically and never bothered to visit insisting she couldn’t afford bus fair.

I suppose it really hurts me for my
Kids and I have no one to talk to about it without sounding jealous or bitter, I just wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar how did you react or deal with it? X

Perhaps... I'm not saying your situation is the same. More of a different perspective for those saying your sister is unkind etc.. she may well be!!

I barely know their names or ages. I never buy them gifts and they don't even know my address. They also have never met my 5 yo
