Older sister mad in the family group chat that an idea for Christmas didn't get run by her.

I texted her: "I think if you're feeling left out it's probably because you ignored two of your siblings' weddings entirely this year, so I figured you weren't interested in participating in stuff. I didn't say it in the group chat because I didn't want to embarrass you."

That feels vicious in a way. But it's not. It's a truth that she wants all of us to ignore.
