[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, you want people to be kind, but it seems like you are not hearing.  [/b]What you describe as “just wanting to hang out” and having your kids “join the fun” is probably not as easy as it seems, particularly if these families have a long pattern of impromptu interaction.  You are awfully judgmental about how your sister *should* have spent her weekend.  I don’t know if she is nice or not, but build your own life and quit obsessing about how she is supposed to fit into your plan.

You keep insisting that it would be so easy for her to include you, because her time with the neighbors is informal, that she wouldn't have to host you, etc.  But she's friends with those people.  They have a history and pattern of informally hanging out, and they get along, the kids get along, they likely have similar parenting styles, etc.  It's *not* easy and relaxed to have people over that you don't get along well with, that have different parenting styles, and that would change the dynamic.

If she didn't have kids, would you even care that you weren't invited?[/quote]
