Unbelievably angry at my family

My sister has been told by her daughters school that she needs to get her a COVID test, my niece is very poorly with a high temperature and a terrible cough so it is understandable that the school want her to get tested.

She has ordered her a home test and they are waiting for it to be delivered. She called me today from my parents home and the call ended in a disagreement as I said she should be self isolating with my niece until they receive the results.

Turns out that she's been to have her nails done and left her daughter with my parents, then went shopping and from there met a friend for a coffee.

My parents and sister have broken rules since the beginning but this really makes me lose respect for them.

She has a partner and plenty of family to drop essentials off but she is so unbelievably selfish and my parents allow her to be.

I just feel angry, they've always had a self entitled attitude but I think this really takes it to a whole new level.

I’d be angry right back at you for thinking it was any of your business. If you admit you’re constantly judging them maybe they’re right that you’re just too judgemental.

To be fair I think most people would be judgemental about someone who is in a household with someone who has tested positive getting their nails done and a coffee instead of isolating while leaving the positive person with a relative….. hardly essential was it?

Op I actually banned my mum from even coming into my garden at the height of the pandemic second wave because she flirted from hers to my sisters then to mine and the elderly neighbour opposite Angry

Every time I called her out on it she would say she hadn't been to these other places or was outside.

My sister called me one day for something and I told her I was getting increasingly annoyed at dm for flitting in and out and she said she'd also had the same chat with her and dm came up with the same excuses.

In the end I started locking my doors and gates so she couldn't just wonder in and when she moaned about it I told her she was banned and to stop being so bloody selfish.

But why didn't your parents say no?
They're culpable too, if they knew they full story.
If they didn't, then your sister has lied to her parents and put them at risk, not to mention potentially the nail lady (though not direct contact)

I wouldn’t, and I wouldn’t be apologetic about it if I was the one being judged. OP doesn’t have the monopoly on being pissed off.
