Lucky Worker Wins All-Expenses-Paid Weekend At Beach House, Gets Berated By Her Entitled Sister When She Invites Friend Instead Of Her And Her Kids
A mom broke her children's hearts because she couldn't accept that her sister brought a friend to an all-expenses-paid vacation instead of her. The OP won a raffle at work for a 4-person, 3-day stay at a beach house inn.
She wanted her boyfriend to accompany her, but he was busy with school. Her single friends were unavailable for a girl's weekend due to prior commitments.
OP's plan C was to bring her sister and her two kids. She visited her family over that weekend, fully intent on inviting her sister to come along.
The hours OP spent with her sister, niece, and nephew stopped her from extending the invitation. Her niece and nephew behaved like brats back then because their mom didn't set boundaries with her children.
She knew she would spend her beach vacation babysitting her sister's kids. Her sister habitually left OP to care for her kids whenever she visited them.
OP didn't mention the trip to her sister. She ended up inviting her friend Megan and her two kids to go on the beach trip with her.
They made a deal where Megan would pay for the gad while OP handled the food expenses for the weekend. They had a great time, and OP didn't feel like a babysitter even when she helped Megan take care of the kids.
When they got home, OP posted photos of herself, Megan, and the kids during their beach weekend.
Her sister peppered OP with calls and messages. OP decided to answer one of her calls near her lunch break.
Her sister went on a tirade before OP could even say "Hey." She wanted to know how OP was able to afford a vacation.
OP explained that she won it at work. Her sister asked why OP invited Megan and her kids instead of her and her children.
OP said she didn't want to spend her break babysitting her niece and nephew. She called OP an a**hole for what she did when she knew how much she needed a vacation.
OP's mom called her later on to ask why she broke her promise to her niece and nephew. OP explained the situation to her mom.
Her sister told her kids that they were supposed to go on a trip but OP ruined it, so the whole thing was canceled. The kids were inconsolable. Their mom scolded OP's sister for lying and upsetting her children.
OP took her sister's kids on a fun day out one weekend to explain the situation. They played and ate what they wanted. By the end of the day, the beach weekend was a thing of the past.
OP wouldn't have appreciated her vacation if she brought her sister on that trip.
It looked like the whole family caught onto her sister's antics.
OP's sister is the apple that belongs to a different orchard. Her entitlement is not a family trait.
She was completely ready to take over OP's vacation. She would have paid OP and her children no mind if she was on that beach weekend.
She broke her children's hearts because she didn't get to do what she wanted for once in her life.
OP originally shared her story in the Am I The A**hole subreddit. The Redditors rightfully directed her to the subreddit dedicated to encounters with entitled parents where she could vent as much as she wanted.
OP's profile has many more stories about her sister. She didn't learn from this argument with OP, but OP learned how to better deal with her.
