Her Ex Knocked Up Her Sister, So She Hasn’t Spent Thanksgiving With Her Family In A Decade And Her Mom Really Wants Her To Come Home This Year
A woman works as a flight attendant for a big airline, and she always ends up working on holidays because that’s part of her job.
Lately, she’s been working enough hours that she could request any holiday or time off that she desires, but honestly, she has zero interest in doing this, and her family is to blame.
“For the past decade, I’ve skipped major family holidays and events like weddings and christenings,” she explained.
“Part of it has to do with something that happened a long time ago. Long story short, my ex knocked up my sister, and they got married.”
“I have no interest in them and haven’t met their children. I haven’t even gone back to my hometown since their engagement announcement.”
When her mom and dad found out about her sister getting pregnant by her ex, they were completely upset.
Then, her sister announced that she was getting married, and her mom and dad said they would not attend her wedding, and they stuck to their guns.
As soon as her sister gave birth, though, her parents caved and started having a relationship with her sister again.
Her mom desperately wanted to be a grandma, and her sister was the only sibling of hers that went on to have children.

“My mother has been asking me when I’m going to come back,” she said. “And the answer is never. I tell her I don’t know. Well, she and my dad are getting up there in years, and they want a family celebration with everyone. Including my cheat of an ex and his family.”
“She just asked when I’m going to be here for Thanksgiving, and I told her that work got in the way. She broke down crying over the phone and pleaded with me to put in a time off request so I can see her.”
While she does admit that she misses her mom terribly, she just doesn’t want to deal with her ex and her sister because she understandably hates them.
Her other family members found out that she’s not coming home for the 10th year in a row this Thanksgiving, and they believe she should come home, as they state it’s not exactly “healthy” to be working so hard and not spending time with the family.
“Honestly, I can’t stand to see my ex happy with his affair partner and what could have been us,” she concluded. Also, I am spending part of the holidays in Bali and have better things to do than be miserable in…Cleveland.”
Regardless, she’s curious if it’s mean of her to tell her mom she still won’t come home for the holidays. If you had an ex that knocked up your sister, would you feel the same way as her, and would you want to avoid your family at all costs?
