It's all in the tone and subtle cues. If you feel she's trying to be hurtful and not helpful, then tell her what PP said. Go further, and tell her she can't come that often if she's going to talk like this.

I don't like your words either, OP. How terrible to say of your sister that she's not attractive! You may have been responsible for baiting her and being passive-aggressive yourself. In my opinion, you're getting what you deserve here. Both of your attitudes are problematic.

OP here. I would never tell her she is not attractive, she knows it all too well. I don't feel the need to make her feel bad about her appearance. Growing up adults would say things to both of us about the difference in our attractiveness. My sister has always been resentful toward me because of this. I didn't cause it! I didn't deal the cards in life! Now my sister is much more successful professionally than me because she worked really hard for it. I'm glad for her. But she is still bitter at me.  [/quote]

Your words, OP. You said she was not attractive. That's a pretty sad thing to believe. You could believe she's not as attractive as you. See the difference there? And the thing is, your sister know full well what you think, even if you don't come out and say it.

Yep. This. Affronted that she's finally one-upped you on something?[/quote]
