Feeling robbed!

Stephanie, on July 25, 2019 at 8:23 PM Posted in Planning 0 18
I dont know if im being over sensitive or if i have a point. Im also not really needing advice, even though if i was given some i would appreciate it, maybe just looking to vent. As i titled, im feeling robbed, robbed of those special moments in wedding planning, and by no other than my sister. She literally and ALWAYS makes such a big deal out of nothing, everytime we discuss dress styles, or just go see some dresses since all of our schedules are so different she either makes a show, or is just plain rude!! For example, when we went to a bridal store to shop around for my dress, we were in the car and she literally had a whole argument with our sister and had the worst attitude the whole day, making snarky rude comments to my fmil, store attendants, or even anyone who spoke to her, totally ruining the fun for me, & my mom because she was just so embarrassed . & i think the part that hurt me most was when we went to look at bridemaid dresses and i spent all night making them a thank you / formal bridal proposal box and before they can even open it she caused a whole scene at the shop about how the dress she had on was “horrible” and “couldnt breathe in it” because it was a halter top, to the point of scratching her neck.. it was so embarrassing, it was like wow.. i live in nyc, had a bag full of boxes with my two kids, one in a stroller, took 2 trains in the 90 degree heat to just walk out the store in tears... my other girls followed along and opened their boxes in the STREET, it was so horrible and it totally took away from the whole experience. Sorry for the long post, just feeling so stuck (because shes my sister) but shes all mad now, AGAIN, shes now texting me on a rant because i made an appointment to go see some more dresses and didnt let her know FIRST about the date before i told my other sister & moh so now shes saying shes not going & how shes not important... its so childish i cant believe im even stressing this.. but i am. Ugh

    Wow your sister is immature. I'd honestly uninvite her if she's stressing you out to the point of tears. I'm so sorry that she ruined your day for you.

    Dont let your sister ruin these special moments for you. Maybe she needs a time out and not go to the next dress shopping day. And just let her know, until she gets her attitude in check, she wont be invited to go on anywhere else. This is your time, dont let anyone ruin that, especially family. Best of luck!!

    My first thought was good im glad she's not going and she's not invited. And really she's being a selfish B*.

    I say to FH all the time in reference to family "just because you love someone doesn't mean you have to like them"

    I think the best thing would be not inviting her to anymore appointments. You don't need that negativity around you!

    I am really sorry your sister is behaving this way, sounds like she may be a little jealous, or perhaps something else is going on in her life. Maybe she is anxious for you, but she's displaying it in a very negative fashion. I would refrain from discussing anything wedding related to her until she calms down. You are the one getting married, not her, so she really needs to either be supportive, or not come along on these exciting excursions! You want her there, I know you do, but she's overwhelming you, which is not right, and to add insult to injury, it appears that she doesn't care about your feelings and seems to have a short fuse and no filter. I am sorry that you are going through this. You sister needs to cool off. When she does, I would gently explain to her that you have not appreciated the way she's been acting, and that it's been stressing you out. I am really hoping she calms down for your sake, and sees her mistakes, and corrects them. All the best, Stephanie! Believe me, I have a younger sister who may not be going to my wedding because of her toxic behavior... so I know where you're coming from.Smiley heart

    Lol I’m the baby sister and man my two older sisters have given me a hard time too! 😩 I asked them like a month before trying on wedding dresses if they wanted to go with me and they were so happy and both said yes. Then when the time came to go they were like “what time again?” “Where is it?” “How long is it going to take” “idk if I can go and leave my kids alone” (the kids are left alone all summer during the work day the oldest is 14) “I’ll try to go but I have to work now” like they were complaining about everything!!! Why when I asked a whole month before and gave them all the details , they were excited then!? Idk girl. But I’ve learned that out of all my 8 bridesmaids, my own family has given me the hardest time.

    Yep, I would have guessed youngest. They really are spoiled brats, lol. I luckily only have brothers but the youngest one is totally spoiled and makes a scene when he doesn't get his way...and he's almost 30! Middle children do not act this way, they are generally peaceful and used to not getting attention (I'm also a middle child and play peacemaker to my family often ).

    About your sister....yeah, just stop inviting her to this stuff. Tell her the truth as to why and let her know if her attitude changes you can start involving her again.
