[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That sounds kinda crappy you didn't think twice about doing it with others and excluded her.[/quote]

[b]Both of these trips were planned before I even knew she was moving.[/b] My college roommates and I go on a trip every year and it’s my oldest last year in elementary school, so a group of us who have been friends since our kids were in K are taking a trip. It has nothing to do with me not wanting to see her, I just can’t fit it in this year. She’s more than welcome to come visit. [/quote]

Sorry, but none of these friends are more important than your sister. Why is it so easy for you to say no to her but not to these other folks? Do you resent having to play mom to her?[/quote]

NP here - do you have trouble reading?

Here is the chronology:

Sister lives near OP.
OP plans two trips with old friends.
Sister moves.  
Sister wants to do trip with OP.
Op can't do trip because of work, family life, and yes, preexisting obligations.  (*Important* preexisting obligations with old friends.)
Sister gets pissed.
Comprehension deficient DCUM poster accuses OP of having resentment towards sister.

Seriously, what is the solution here?  OP cancels a trip with friends because sister wants to go?  OP uses magical time expander to make time for trip with sister?

As always the simplest answer is often the best one - sister grows the eff up.  [/quote]

This. Sister should, if not grow up necessarily, feel disappointment but then work with OP to figure out how they can spend time together. Sister should visit, for example, and she and OP can hit the town for those couple of nights. And/or find a time later in the year. But OP can’t bail on other trips she made before sister moved. Sister will come around. She may be having separation issues and feel like OP doesn’t miss her the way she misses OP. [/quote]
