[quote=Anonymous]Well, you clearly don't like your sister very much - you're calling her manipulative in the title, and it sounds like you've never really cared about seeing her or whether she comes to stuff for you. It sort of sounds like your sister really values family and you don't value it as much as she does. Which is fine.

I honestly do think you are being a little mean not just going in July. I think you are overly attached to the idea of your mother being more healed for a few more days of visit, and yes I think it's a little off that you're putting that above your sister's child's 1st birthday. It sounds like your mom will enjoy seeing all the grandkids together. Maybe you can ask your sister to help your mom clean the house and make meals so that you're mom isn't trying to do all this stuff right after surgery?

Also, is there some dynamic here where you feel guilty that your sister spends more time with your elderly parents, and so you're trying to make a big show about valuing your mom's health after her surgery more than your sister does?[/quote]
