Am I wrong?

Changed my name because I know exdh knows who I am on here.
Am seething atm, ex and I split up four years ago we have a dd (5) ex lives in Ireland and comes over every month to see dd.
This weekend ex's little sister has come over here with a big group of friends for a weekend away. She arrived yesterday and I was going to meet up with her so she could see dd while she's here, but I woke up feeling awful and throwing up so got in touch with her to let her know that I couldn't meet her and hopefully would be feeling better today and we can meet then.
Am feeling worse today so there's no chance I can meet her, just called ex to ask him to ket her know because I've managed to lose her number, and he went off at me. Apparently I should let her come round to my house to see dd -(while I'm sat here in my pyjamas with a bucket next to me and thorwing up every hour!?) or I should make my mum take dd and ex's sister can go there, aside from the fact that my mum is also ill and he knows this, I think that that's really cheeky!
Apparently I'm being very unreasonable and selfish about the whole thing. Never mind that this is the first time his sis has ever come over here in five years and she's only here now because she's on a p*up with her friends and I have to arrange to meet her around times when she's in the pub!
He hung up on me, and is now sending me text messages telling me that I'm a lazy cow for not going to meet her!? and unbelievably selfish...etc etc etc

I'm really really angry!! but have just been talking to another friend who says that I really should have made an effort for his sis...am I wrong?
I just feel like crap and am in no mood for visitors, no matter how far they've come!

Just needed to rant really! but friend saying that made me question myself too.

I am an aunty. I would be upset if I didn't see my nieces or nephews for years. But then I would have made a special trip and not expected a sick mum to put herself out over it. How young is she? Does she have any excuse for being a bad aunty?

you're sick fhs! why don't they offer to come round and take dd off your hands to give you a break? problem solved everyone happy.

there's a reason he's your ex!

text back saying all or any of them are quite welcome to get her ready and take her out for the day.

from his POV he prolly things your making it up - or putting it on just to be a twat.

so invite them all round and tell them to take your dd out for the day

You're not being unreasonable, she and he are, bk is right. No, sorry, all making an effort bets are off in my book if you're puking!
