[quote=Anonymous]These responses are bonkers. Of course I don’t know anything about OP’s work as an attorney, but my attorney Dh once asked me in December to plan a trip for January because he wouldn’t be able to take a vacation with the family for the rest of the coming calendar year. He’d been working on a case for 3.5 years and he was bogged down with depositions and briefs and motions and court dates (all out of state) as he and several dozen other lawyers geared up for an out of state trial that was expected to last several months. Multiple billions of dollars were at stake for his client. Dh wasn’t kidding that he couldn’t take time off. I trust that OP knows her schedule better than we do.

Also, the suggestion that OP invite her sister to the other girls’ weekends that were previously planned is not realistic. Put yourselves in the younger sister’s shoes. Younger sister is 13 years younger than OP, so she was probably in kindergarten when OP went off to college. Younger sister and OP’s college friends wouldn’t know each other and were never peers. A bunch of college friends are getting together to reminisce and catch up on each other’s lives. How would younger sister fit in? She's supposed to enjoy herself while a bunch of strangers talk to older sister about people younger sister doesn’t know? Listen to a bunch of references and inside jokes she doesn’t understand? Who would want to do that?

OP, stretch yourself to fit your sister in your life as best you can. Let her know that you enjoy spending time with her and you’re trying to make time for her, just like everyone else. Put a ski trip in your calendar for next winter, even if she visits this summer. [/quote]
