Need advice about Sister

Anna, on October 19, 2019 at 3:29 AM Posted in Family and Relationships 0 2

I don't know how to handle this or maybe i just want to vent. A little backstory: Just know that i love my sister a lot. I pretty much raised the girl. Shes also pretty flaky. Almost 9 years ago she moved about 6 hours away. I hardly see her. The last time i saw her was 2 years ago. She hasn't even meet my fh yet. She has an issue with my mom and stepdad. This is one reason she won't come visit me nor my sisters, we all live in the same town. She visits my brother all the time, he only lives 25 min away. She can't stand his gf but will be there and do whatever she wants her to do, Its like shes scared of her. Once she was here visiting my brother and we were planning to meet up so she can meet my fh. She called me hours later and said she wasn't going to the restaurant cause she got drunk.

I asked her to be my maid of honor. Believe me, it was something i had to really think about. I wish i would've stick to my guns and not asked. I'm starting to believe she won't even try to make it to my wedding. My sisters quinceanera was about 2 weeks ago. We have been telling her since February when the quince would be. We gave her plenty of time to figure out and get time off at work. Well the entire time she kept telling us she will see if she could come. A week before the quince i asked her if she was coming, she said she couldn't cause she just got a new position at work and can't take any days off. Its understandable. Well i just saw in her snap that she in Vegas with her husband. Both should be at work. Shes been there for 3 days now. I mean how can you tell us you can't miss work but then go to Vegas? She told me it was last min trip and couldn't pass it up. I don't know what to do. I kinda want to tell her to that i don't want her to be one or even try to come. My fh and i are planning on having a small wedding to save money. I don't want to know that i'm wasting all this money and she doesn't show up. I know money isn't everything, but I hate being disappointed. My own dad isn't invited to the wedding cause i know he won't show up. I guess in a way i want my sister to be an adult and think of me. I have always thought of her and i fell like this one day she wont. She'll just be telling me "maybe" this whole entire time. i don't know what to do. Maybe someone is in this same situations. Thanks for reading all this..

    I'm gonna be blunt honey and tell you to cut her out. She's not on the same level as you are in ya'll's relationship and you can't depend on her. Chose someone who is there and THRILLED for you and your FH to be your MOH or don't have one at all. She is showing you with her actions what she thinks/feels about you and your other sisters, and we all know that actions speak louder than words. It sounds like you've done all you can to try and get her on board and she's off on another ship all together. Save her a seat at the wedding if you want to, but tell her you've chosen another person to be the MOH and she's welcome to attend as a guest!

    What Mandee said. My younger brother and I get along well, but 15 years ago while planning my wedding with my late hubby, my brother asked to cater the reception only to flake out two weeks beforehand, so I made other arrangements. So while I planned me and my current hubby wedding, my brother's wife reached out for she and said baby brother to cater...well I thought about what happened in 2005 and said thanks but no thanks. Instead I hired a caterer. I didn't even invite them to our wedding in 2017 because they have proven over the years they are both flaky. We love each other dearly...but they are who they are.
