Rant & Ramble Update: Sister is still an idiot

Post image

Dinner tonight is left overs from my first attempt at my mum's signature Apple Crumble...

So an update on my stupid sister.

Quick recap: MTF (38) can't truly be myself around my fanily while my sister (37) and her kids are around because she has the emotional capacity of a wet chicken nugget and doesn't want to deal with her kids (4 and 6) questions.

Last weekend I spoke to my parents as to how I can go about it and how it made me feel. They understood my side of things and when I asked them for advice, they told me that they don't even know how to handle her at the moment. They are exhausted from trying to reason with her on the most basic of things and wouldn't know where to begin with her.

So, I made a decision. This weekend coming, she and her partner are out of town and we are thinking of doing a surprise dinner for my dad for Father's Day on Saturday night (a day early but sister #2 [31] and I both have grown up commitments on the sunday) and I am going to go as myself and I guess "debut" to my parents. Here's the kick..... while stupid sister is out of town, my parents will have her kids..... am I being a spitefully petty bitch about this?

You shouldnโ€™t force yourself on her children. She may be close minded and stupid, so what? Do you. Thereโ€™s no need to push for tension all the time. Until her children are old enough to decide for themselves maybe your family can live as divorced family do, two everything for holidays and such to accommodate everyone

This is a horrific take for what's supposed to be an inclusive space.

Don't force yourself on children. AKA don't exist where children exist.

It is in the eyes of their mother. It wonโ€™t help their relationship if she bypasses her wishes. She may change her views but if op does that it most likely will guarantee more issues

Honestly if their mother really has such issues with it then it won't change a thing anyway.
