[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to know why you  aren't equally outrages at your brother, who sounds more absent than your sister. In your original post, you totally excuse the brother who you see twice a year and who doesn't seem very engaged with your parents but you accuse your sister of "treating your parents like crap" for contacting them and seeming them more frequently than your brother but less frequently than you. It seems like you are holding the bar much higher for your sister than your brother. Why?[/quote]

I got that impression too.  It seems that the whole family is piling up grievances against one sibling/child. The outrage stems from the fact that she is close to parents and yet isn't involved, while the siblings who are not close are involved?  How is that possible? Who would mom call if she was in a real emergency?  DD nearby and not the one posting here, as what help would she be?  Maybe nearby sister had enough of her moms constant demands and decided to distance herself, maybe she has a life while OP doesn't? Maybe mom is lying.  My sister is often absentminded and I will remind her that it is mom's birthday, I don't see any malice in her forgetting, she is that type of person, I am the type that remembers these things. I think the outrage here is that just because that one daughter lives nearby, she should do the lion's share of caring and engaging her bored parents, so daughter living far feels good about actually abandoning her parents, but calling on the phone. OP, if you are so worried, move closer to mommy.[/quote]
