My sister is 3 years younger than me and is very spoiled. She's been that way for as long as I can remember and unfortunately as a family we've all grown quite used to it. Over the years we've all tended to let her get her way just to shut her up and avoid fights.
This is an example of how she acts. I was living across the country and she wanted to fly out to visit me. SHe claimed she was too broke and asked me to buy her ticket. (she made as much if not more money than I did at the time). So I paid for her ticket...and shen she got there she proceded to pull a new sweater out of her suitcase and brag about how she paid $300 for it. This is just one small example of selfish she can be.
We've had alot of fights over the years when I would get frustrated with her, but we usually made up. I pretty much gave the idea that she would change.
I got married and moved about 2000 miles away. I just had my first and only baby. She is also my moms only grandchild. (My sister never wants to have kids, which is probably good). I flew up last month so everyone could meet the baby for the first time. It was supposed to be a memorable trip for me and the baby. I was so looking forward to it. Well my sister started pulling her sh*t and causing trouble. I decided that this was my trip and I wasnt going to let her get away with it this time. It turned into a huge fight and made for a really miserable trip. I almost left early, but stayed for my mom's sake so she could spend time with the baby.
So now I havent spoken to my sister since the trip. I dont plan on calling her and really dont care if I never talk to her again. Im so sick of her causing problems and ruining things for me all the time. I have more important things going on in my life now and dont plan on wasting time in an argument I'll never win.
Am I overreacting? If I avoid her now she wont be a part of my daughters life, and my sister will miss out on alot of important milestones. Or is it better to keep such a petty spoiled influence away from my daughter anyway?
Im pi**ed and sad at the same time and I dont know what to do.
