    So I was planning on a quiet night in with my boyfriend, I get my eldest sister come round with her two little girls, asking me to watch them tonight (She never asked in advance) She said "Oh I know you won't mind" and started to leave. I said that we might have been going out and she said "I know you'll change your plans for them" and walks off.
    Am I right to be annoyed? I don't mind looking after them, but I'd like to have been asked.


    So tell her no and in future to ask first if it really bothers you!

    op your sisters behaviour is outrageous. Having a go at you for feeding the girls when she dumped them on you with no notice

    Selfish does not even cover what she has done.
    I agree, I'd never see them go hungry.
  • Be prepared for the s**t hitting the fan when the child-protection peeps make their enquiries. So soon after your falling-out is going to make it patently obvious who reported her to them.

    Better for the s**t to hit the fan, than 2 kids get neglected.

    Op, what do your parents think of all this ?

    I've not spoke to my parents for years. I was disowned by them (long story). I only really have a relationship with my youngest sister.

    You're doing the right thing. There's no reasoning with people like your sister.

    I think annoyed is an understatement
    Is this normal behaviour for her/you?


    Edit: didnt notice it was multi paged.
    The follow up behaviour was even worse!

    Yeah, its normal behavior for her. To want to party and not care about anything else.
