[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister and my parents (in particular my mother) have done several gatherings/celebrations and trips together without telling me and lying about it afterwards. My family (including my children) have never been invited. These include celebrating Thanksgiving, Easter, Mothers Day and going on vacations. They often get caught because my sister will post on social media.

It is unbelievable hurtful, especially to my children. My children are not wildly misbehaved and are just regular kids with a good sense of humor and fun to be around/happy go lucky. My DH gets along fine with everyone. We can find zero reason why they sneak around and I have confronted them several times and their excuse is well we didn’t think you wanted to come or there wasn’t room. My children, who are now teens, have hardly any relationship with my mother or my sister and her kids and don’t really care to at this point as they are teens.

I have given up trying to understand why they do this. I think my sister instigates a lot of it and my mother is happy to go along with the secrecy and the lying. I am sorry this happened to you OP. I would just straight out ask your brother what’s going on so you have the truth out there and then move forward. [/quote]

This isn’t the OP’s situation. No one is lying to her.[/quote]

Sounds like to me to brother isn’t being forthcoming or honest = lying (either outright or by omission). [/quote]

Maybe?

It seems pretty usual for two siblings to have different relationships with their parent(s), as well as different travel and lifestyle preferences. We don’t really know what’s at play here.[/quote]
