[quote=Anonymous]My family (DH plus two sons) are visiting family in NY (from DC).  We are about to move overseas to Asia and will likely not visit again for two years. DH was only here for a week, the kids and I will stay an additional week.  Sister and mom live in the same town; brother is about 30 minutes away.  On Thursday, we all agreed (I thought) to go to brother's house for small b-day celebration for my niece on Sunday.  Since DH had to leave, brother hosted just our family (me, DH, mom and two kids) on Friday.  On Saturday, my sister said she thought Sunday was cancelled because of Friday visit.  To add to the story, my sister has a friend visiting from out of town (CT) and seems they all preferred to spend the day at the beach.  Brother and SIL bought food and cake, etc.  They ended up inviting SIL's family too and we all had a great time, but I can't help but feel slighted by my sister.  It sounds like she explained her situation to our brother, but didn't tell me directly that she would not be going (sort of implied it in texts).

Sister is off for summer and friend is leaving today, so we'll probably see her this week. Also, a big family gathering and party for niece are planned for Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Sister felt she would see us for those events, however, sons and I leave early on Sunday. I never had a chance to explain this to her because she didn't tell me she was bailing on our plans yesterday.

There's also drama between my mom and sister over my mom's 'neediness.'  I'm hurt as I feel I've been relegated to the time she's already committed for gatherings, while friend gets to stay with her for a week and get her undivided time/attention. Sure, mom is always in tow, but she is our mom and we are leaving the country.   I need to get over this. Help me be a bigger person. There is no way she will come visit us in Asia, so this is it for awhile.
