[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If It was my sister I would talk to her and encourage her to explore options for having kids on her own if she wants to have a family. And if that doesn’t appeal to her than I would offer help to help her start dating so she can meet someone to build a family with. She is t too old to have kids.

I can see why this is an issue. Your kids are older and want to do their own thing. You end up having to put your energy into getting them to hang out with their aunt and not be rude and I bet you want to hang out with your kids but bc they are at the age when they prefer not to then the time is more limited and it can feel like your sister is encroaching in that limited time.

She lives a plane ride away - how much time is she encroaching on?

Does it matter how much time? It sounds like the nature of the relationship is toxic. If her parents are asking her to consider the sister all the time, they don’t seem to be considering OP (or the needs of OPs family). The sister gets quality alone time with the parents, why is OP not allowed the same? Parents sound like they are overwhelmed with sister and foisting her on OP. This will be a problem when parents arent around anymore because the sister will transfer that attachment to OP. [/quote]
