A woman is grappling with whether to invite her sister to Christmas after a series of disagreements and frosty exchanges. The sisters' relationship has been strained since a fight over the OP's weekend plans and a subsequent Facebook block. Their latest clash occurred at the OP's nephew's birthday party, where the sister's aloof behavior and lack of engagement added to the tension. Now, the OP faces a difficult choice: invite her sister and risk further conflict or exclude her, potentially widening the rift between them.
Today’s Original Poster found herself in between a rock and hard place when a disagreement about weekend plans and a Facebook block spiraled into a full-blown conflict with her sister. And now, the OP is left wondering if she has to invite her for the holidays.
The OP’s sister was upset that she didn’t cancel her plans to visit their elderly mom. What followed was an emotionally chargedargument, which ended in the sister blocking her. She never unblocked her, but would reach out to her via WhatsApp if she needed something. Therefore, the OP’s perceived lack of balanced reciprocity—initiating plans—by her sister may have contributed to her feeling resentment. This is because a healthy relationship typically thrives on equal give-and-take, whereas imbalance can also strain familial ties., some causes of sibling rivalry in adults are rooted in perceived or real favoritism from parents, life events, comparisons, differing values, jealousy, or poor communication skills.
The comments reflect a divided sentiment, with some siding with the OP and others criticizing both parties. A significant portion of commenters felt the sister was entitled and overstepping boundaries, and suggested that if she would be happier without her sister for Christmas, then she shouldn’t invite her.On the other hand, many commenters found fault with both siblings, pointing to pettiness, immaturity, and a lack of communication.
