My sister said, if you want to babysit five kids, don't come....Reddit Story

My sister said, if you want to babysit five kids, don't come. Our parents sided with her. I replied. Then my $18,000 wasn't invited to Christmas either. I canceled all the travel plans with my sister's family. My phone exploded. My name is Abby and I'm 29 years old. I work in digital marketing for a tech company in Seattle. #reddit #redditreadings #redditstories #askreddit #storytime #redditrelationship  I don't have kids. I like my life the way it is. Work, friends, my own space. I have an older sister named Madison. She's 31. She lives in Portland with her husband Jacob, and their two kids. Emma is eight and Ethan is five. They're good kids. I love them. My parents live in Portland too, not far from Madison's house. Growing up with Madison was complicated. Our parents always preferred her. Always. When I won first place in a state design competition in 10th grade, I came home excited to tell them my mother barely looked up from her magazine. That's nice, dear. She said. Then she turned to Madison. We need to talk about the cheerleading tryouts. I know you didn't make the team, but there's always next year we'll get you private coaching. Madison hadn't made the cheerleading team. That was the big crisis. My award sat on the kitchen counter for two days before I took it to my room. Nobody ever asked to see it. It was always like that. Madison got the attention, the praise, the focus. I was just there when Madison got Abby in math. It was a celebration when I got straight A's it was expected. When Madison wanted to go to summer camp, our parents took extra shifts to pay for it. When I asked about a summer program for design students, they said we couldn't afford it. I learned early that I was on my own. So I went to college on scholarships, worked part-time jobs, and moved to Seattle after graduation. I built my own life. I set boundaries with my family. I loved my nephews, but my relationship with Madison had been distant for years. Two months before Christmas, Madison called me. It was a Saturday afternoon, and I was at a coffee shop working on a freelance project.....,
