[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Me and my sister are the only two family members living in the area for the past few years. We've always spent all special occasions together. This year, however, she doesn't want to spent any holiday with me. This is because I have a boyfriend and I spend the holidays with him and his family. His family is wonderful and they always warmly invite my sister along too since she's the only family I have in the country.

This year however she refused to join me for Thanksgiving and she is now refusing to join us for Christmas dinner as well. She says she'd rather spend them with a family friend than me and my boyfriend. She also has turned down the offer to celebrate New Years with us and our friends.

I can't help but feel hurt that she would rather spend the holidays with acquaintences than family.

Am I wrong?

Yup.  She would rather spend the holidays with family friends than with your boyfriend and his family, who are, after all, acquaintances.  I don't blame her for not wanting to tag along with you to your boyfriend's family.  She might very well want to spend the holidays with you, but that's not what you're offering.  [/quote]

What am I supposed to do then? NOT spend the holidays with my bf?[/quote]

Actually, yes. Either you and BF split holidays between your two families, or you each go with your own family until you are at least engaged. One PP put it perfectly - [i][b]you[/b][/i] ditched your only family in the area on a family-centric holiday. She chose to approximate a family experience when left without her immediate family, by spending it with a friend of a parent. You are really horrible.[/quote]
