I have 3 older stephsisters and a younger biological one. My biological sister had her birthday on a saturday evening. This has always been the case for the past 15 years or so. 2 of my stephsisters came early, during the middle of the day because they had somewhere else to be during the evening. One had to work during the day.
The last one then comes up with an excuse that she has to study, on a saturday evening, so she cant make 2h time for a BD that was planned a year ago.
Considering my younger sister is emotionally fragile, always puts lots of effort into my stephsisters BDays, and her initial response to my `dont u think thats a bit of a weak excuse` with ´Im gonna be the smart one and not respond to this ´ got me on a rant where i lectured her about her responsibility towards her sister, the fact that she could easily make 2h spare time for her, the fact that 2h of study isnt gonna make the difference, and the fact that the BD was planned months ago. Ofcourse i didnt get a reply. But a few hours later i got a call that we, as the family, should have a talk and clear the air.
She could have told me monday was the test, and she had to work sunday so she coulnd come if thats the case. She couldve told me that she didnt want to be in the room with her fathers ex girlfriends family. Whatever, she couldve just said so. She chose to act superior and wink. Especially that wink..
So, was i wrong to lecture her and point out her responsibilities?
