[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not about the Birthday! It's about Op never considering that her younger sister's events are -ever- as important as the same milestones were in her family.[/quote]

[b]I’m team OP[/b] you people are crazy!

For crying out loud the kid is just turning one! You all act as if the OP has skipped years of milestones. I know I need to know about the sister because she had a freaking baptism in the middle of a pandemic and expected everyone to come. Now she is surprised that she is getting a bunch of “no thank yous” for a first bday party which are always for the parents and not kids. She is self centered af.

Generally I'd be team sister but it is just a birthday in a pandemic. Sister obviously feels like her time and effort earlier have not been reciprocated and that her sister/OP got all of her celebrations and attention and she isn't. Depending on past dynamics this could be a longstanding issue. However, there is a pandemic still. I wouldn't go to a large party either, tbh. Particularly if their mother is going to be there and exposed and I had younger children that weren't vaxxed.

The bit about kids not being able to handle 8h in the car is weird and seems overly dramatic. Maintenance of OP's relationship between the grandparents-grandkids isn't the sister's problem, either. If OP really wants a week with the grandparents she can make the effort in August. No matter what they do there is going to be drama at this point. [/quote]
