[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d just go for the weekend and have no contact with any of them. They’re staying in a separate place, yes? Just block their texts and calls. Go about your business. I’m serious. If your parents and and older sister want to hang out at some resort in WV, that’s their prerogative. But you’re under no obligation to have any meals with them, tell them where you’re going or what you’re doing. [/quote]

LOL is this your actual advice? [/quote]

Seriously. Come on.

However, what I WOULD do is not get involved in the drama or your sister's needs. She was invited to come by your parents and she's a grown up. You don't need to help her with booking a room, transportation, etc., etc. If meals or activities require reservations you make your plans, let her know in case she wants to make the effort to also book and go about your weekend.

I don't perceive this as a dynamic that is going to change and I think you need to figure out how to get over the resentment and let the relationship be what it's going to be. TBH, reaming your parents or a sibling out over unequal childcare or being resentful that your parents don't want to go to Europe is only serving to make you unhappy.[/quote]
