‘Tit for Tat’

Last week, my sister called to ask if I could go to a shop for her. I said I couldn’t go because I have severe PGP that causes a very dramatic limp and limits me greatly. I also suffer with HG and medicate myself several times a day, meaning I sleep a lot or am constantly drowsy if awake . I did go to this specific shop last week because my hubby drove us all (I even paid for her things- not that it’s important). She was really off and then hung up on me. (When I say off, she was saying “You can drive there” - I cannot drive due to my medication. Then it was “Walk then” - The 15 minute walk each way would take me over an hour each way. Her final retort was that I should “Take a bus” - No buses go anywhere close to the shop. It’s actually a major detour). Today I asked her if she wouldn’t mind grabbing me some things from a shop she is heading to on Monday. In my area, it is really hard to find these items local, and I only asked because I knew she was going. I said I would send her the money and gladly cover her costs as a thank you. Instead, she told me where the shop is (which i already know). She then made a vague reference to when she had asked me to go to a shop the week before. I just said “Oh, thank you. Sorry to have disturbed you” and hung up. I know it is not her job to do this for me. She has still been off with me ever since I told her I couldn’t go to the shop for her. I don’t even know if I have the right to be upset about this. Not so much the fact she wouldn’t get the things, just her attitude towards me.

She sounds very immature

This sounds like every “friend” who used me for rides, money, therapy, literally anything. If she was a decent friend she would ask you how you are and if you need anything since you are on medication and can’t sensibly get around. I can tell you are very strong and you deserve better friends than that I’m sorry you have to deal with this drama

I accidentally clicked “you’re a hypocrite” but no, I think she is being petty and your feelings are valid

@Layla Caron I’ve just seen this and it has made me think. I am going to distance myself from her for a while. Not necessarily because of this incident, but her general attitude towards me. I wouldn’t accept it from a friend, much less my own sister. It really is clear that unless I am doing or paying for something on her behalf, she is not interested. The reality is that she has been bitter towards me ever since finding out about my pregnancy. Thank you so much!

I accidentally clicked ‘you’re a hypocrite’ 🫣😅 Not what I think at all! Your feelings are very valid. Her attitude is very immature and you deserve a lot better. 😊
