Default Am I unreasonable ?????

Hi all

I have just had a row with my sister and am not sure if i am unreasonable, we have arranged to take my Mum to london to see a show and go to a restaurant for lunch for her 60th birthday soon.

My sister has recently given up her job and only works one day a week and is pleading poverty to everyone and cadging off friends, I have booked the train tickets and paid for them and have chased her for the money but she said she did not have the money in the bank and could not write me a cheque to pay for the train tickets.

I tried to talk to her but she would not return my calls, i sent her a text this morning to see if she had the money and how much the day is likely to cost as i did not want money being a problem on the day, she has now phoned and apparently it is all my fault and I am ruining the day.

Am I in the wrong for chasing her for the money, or should i just accept that she has no money and pay for her and my mum for the day.

I would welcome your views sorry this is nothing to do with bodybuilding.

Regards

Thanks for the response, to put things into context she did buy herself a new car about two months ago, and has just returned from a week in New York, but I know what you mean if she has no money I cannot do anything.

I suppose i wll have to pay it just does not seem right to me.

She's taking the piss mate, she don't mind spending on her self, but when it comes to others she is a mean selfish cow.

Tell her to duck off and you will take your mum to London and she can do something herself.

you obviously know your sisters situation more than wo do, if she's taking the pee its anoying but think of what your mum would do in your situation and try and give her a nice day.

Cheers all

I think I will pay whatever to make sure my Mum has a good day and worry about the money afterwards.

I agree with redneil. She owes you. If I was in your situation I would leave it now that you have planted the seed. After while, she'll either wonder why you havent been bothering her about the money, and even possibly make arrangements to sort you out, or keep it in mind and when you one day need a hand and she kicks off about that too, then remind her of the day you took her and your mom out.
