[quote=Anonymous]The trip is an imposition to someone with limited time off and limited money (assuming the dd budgets well and saves). So you are asking her to sacrifice time and money to see family and the siblings get that free. I think this really breeds a lot of resentment, especially if you don't reinforce the fact that 1. Her taking time to do this is something you are really grateful for 2. You are subsidizing this trip for siblings but not her and phrase it so flippantly with "you can afford it and they can't." It's almost like she is punished for being the eldest, most responsible child. BTDT and it hurts. So it's normal she'd now be too busy, which may mean she has decided to prioritize work since she clearly isn't prioritized like her siblings, or wants to use her vacation time on her own terms.[/quote]
