“There will be other children at this party, around 20 of them ranging from 11 down to newborn. My nieces invited me.”
Unfortunately, when her sister set the birthday party date for a weekend when she’ll have her kids, her sister sent a rude text and told her she’d have to book a babysitter for “those two” that night. All of her other children were invited.
“I’ve booked a holiday overseas instead for myself and the kids,” she added.
“We will be there instead. I’ll send the girls some cash as presents, and they are both moving to the city where I now live for university next year, so I’ll help them move and fill their pantries as a housewarming gift, which I did for my oldest child as well. Now my sister is complaining that I’m going on holiday rather than the party.”
Was she wrong to book a vacation for her family instead of biting the bullet and getting a babysitter? Or did she do what’s right for her family?
