Her Half-Sister Picked On Her, Made Her Cry, Then Got Asked To Leave Their Dad’s Birthday Dinner
Envy, competition, or bitterness between siblings can last a very long time and worsen over the years if you don’t address it and work it out.
One woman was recently accused of ruining her dad’s birthday dinner after fighting with her half-sister, who wouldn’t stop making critical comments throughout the evening.
She’s 23-years-old and has an older sister who’s 29. They have the same dad but were raised by two very different moms.
“My mom has always been quite obsessed with beauty, not only hers but mine as well,” she said.
“She started taking me to beauty contests when I was four. I’ve been in those contents all of my life, and I’ve won some. I was [and] still am a model.”
Her sister was raised differently and has a very different personality. She focused more on her hobbies, like reading and writing, than her beauty and appearance.
Her sister went to medical school while she has only finished high school. However, she thought they always had a good relationship because they generally got along despite their different interests and career paths.
However, the truth came out at her dad’s recent birthday dinner. They decided to have a small family gathering for dinner, including her, her sister, mom, dad, and two younger brothers. As soon as the evening started, her sister began picking on her.
At first, she was made fun of for not eating the same food everyone else was because she was on a special diet, and her sister told her to “suck it up for one night.” When the conversation shifted over to an upcoming beauty contest she’d be in, her sister scoffed and told her she was too old to be participating in them anymore.

Her sister then made fun of her relationship with her boyfriend, implying that she acts like a stuck-up princess and wouldn’t drop her attitude. Finally, the straw that broke the camel’s back happened when she talked about how proud she was of a friend who was graduating from college, and her sister told her the only thing she had to be proud of was her looks.
She began crying, and a family argument broke out. Her mom was upset with her sister, and her sister flew off the handle.
“My sister told me to stop being dramatic and acting like a princess [but] to act like a grown-up,” she recalled.
“She doubled down, saying that almost all of my friends are getting degrees [while] I’m ‘playing Barbie.’ I was crying, but I still told her that she was being [a jerk]; she told me I’ve been [a jerk] her whole life, so I should be the one to suck it up for once.”
Eventually, her dad made her sister leave the gathering. However, her sister was still angry and sent a long text about how she was tired of being made to feel like the “ugly sister” and having all the attention taken away from her.
“She told me that I messed up our dad’s birthday dinner by not being able to take a joke,” she added.
Did she ruin her dad’s birthday, or was her sister out of line that night?
