My sister is in Jersey so not to far but not commutable Northern England. She was quite happy for us to visit her for her wedding but my daughter was 6 this weekend and this is the fourth time now that she has visited England and not bothered making an effort. My sister always makes the effort to see her friends and not bothered with her niece. I understand that she might not like children but makes effort for her friend's children she makes a big show on social media with " my lovely niece ". In short she doesn't bother to find anything out about her.
I always say I'll come to when she visits out parents or meet but she never agrees to meet or is always too busy with someone or something else. She hadn't seen her niece since November last year and prior to that around 12 months. She is due to come back in September but I don't know how to play it. Do I send her a text and keep it cool, ignore the visit all together? Or say I'll go to wherever she is staying and be the bigger person?
My argument is that she can't be " the best Auntie ever" on social media and not know anything about my daughter or show up to see her.
