Siblings being pigeon holed

To be fed up of being pigeon holed. We are middle aged. My sister was the sensible one growing up and I was pretty silly and would laugh at stuff.

Now we are are middle aged she still thinks she can talk down to me like I'm some idiot. I've taken courses, moved jobs, got promoted several times and been much more successful and own a nice home. She tells me she thinks I'm embarrassing in front of her friends. My family always takes her side even though she will be wrong and is sometimes very nasty to me.

We booked a holiday with parents. I booked the flights, hotel and sorted excursions as she didn't want to do it or pay the money. She then sent me a list of what to pack as she said I'm disorganised and forgetful such as knickers, toothbrush etc. I'm just fed up of being pigeon holed as the idiot of the family.
