[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Narcissistic" doesn't mean what many people on this thread thinks it means.  Just because someone isn't interested in maintaining family ties doesn't mean that person is 'narcissistic'. If you're going to use a term, best to know what it actually means.

....having an excessive or erotic interest in oneself and one's physical appearance."a narcissistic actress"
synonyms:	vain, self-loving, self-admiring, self-absorbed, self-obsessed, conceited, self-centered, self-regarding, egotistic, egotistical, egoistic; 
informal: full of oneself "she was never happy in the narcissistic life that her press agent and manager had crafted for her"  [/quote]

From all that has been described the sister does indeed sound quite narcissistic. Self loving, and caring more about herself than her parents or sister i.e. forgetting her own moms birthday and Mother's Day until she 'realized two months later they were in the trunk". Yep.[/quote]

The one who sounds narcisisstic is OP's mom and possibly OP. The gift thing  seems like there is more to the story. There is a person in my family who uses gift giving to show her favoritism down to the timing of the gift. If you have fallen out of favor with her for whatever reason she'll be late in giving your gifts  my cousin has recently given her a  dose of her own medicine.

There's far more to this story than OP is sharing.[/quote]
