Would you be annoyed?

So my parents are going on holiday with my (single parent) sister & her child. My dad says it’s because she can’t afford to go alone, my child is now upset because they have not been invited (we are going on holiday anyway) but would you be annoyed at this? I realise she wouldn’t get a holiday without them & it’s very kind but it seems so unfair, they didn’t even ask if we wanted to join them & now my child is sad as they have been left out. The most annoying thing is I know they have paid for them both as well, they always pay for her because ‘she can’t afford things’ like we can

Yes, I would be annoyed at not being asked to go. It would have been lovely for you to all have a family holiday together & there would have been another child for your sisters child to play with then x

I would be annoyed. I think the best thing to do is mention how upset your child is and in the future please do ask as I can pay my own way and we could have had a family holiday. X

I wouldn't be annoyed at all. I think this should ne a teaching moment for your child. Maybe because I come from a family of 7 siblings and we've never all been on holiday together as adults. Just let them do their thing and try to suppress your jealousy.

It’s a tough one as they are being kind in helping your sister out by giving her a break. As annoying as it is,m (and I do get that) maybe consider yourself lucky to be in a better position and not need the help. Would your child understand that the grandparents are helping so they (sister and child) also get a holiday, as they are less fortunate? I get that’s age dependent. We all like to be treated equally, but I couldn’t take my parents money if I had sufficient to do the things we wanted to do. X

Thanks ladies! Don’t get me wrong I’d never expect my parents to pay for us (we could afford to go & they know that) I just feel sad for our little one who thinks they’re going without them

I would be annoyed. That’s not fair at all. They could have said about it and suggested you look to see if you could book the same week.
