How can I get my sister off my back?
My sister insists on always doing things as a family, even though we are all in our mid fourties. I like to do things in my own way and own time and find I put myself under pressure when I bend to what my family wants. In the past it has made me really sick. Last year for mothers Day there was pressure to fork out top dollar to stay in a big house together for the weekend. I really didn’t want to go as I don’t get on with my mother and it caused a big fight with my Mother and sister. In the end I gave in, spent over $500 for two days and the stress made me so sick I got a virus which led to pre cancer cells (long story there) I spent 6 months and thousands of dollars to get well (another story there). Now she is insisting and pressuring me to see a show with all of them (3 sisters) in the city and to pay for my mother as well. I am not really interested. I don’t want a repeat of last year and keep saying no, but she is making me feel like I am letting the family down. The others are all keen. I am happy to take my mother out for Mothers Day but as a group there is a lot of competition and because I am quieter I find it stressful having to listen to all of them. How can I get through to her to that I am the black sheep of the family and don’t get into all the things that they do. We see each other at Christmas etc and I am happy with that. I know she means well but I hate the pressure.

Tell her the way you stated it here. Tell your sisters that you will see/spend time/gift/take out your mom on your own time. Try to come to a decision that you all get together for one holiday but outside of that you just cannot afford all these family get together’s etc. If that doesn’t work tell them you are more than happy to join in for all the get togethers but unfortunately you cannot afford it, so which sister will be picking up your "end"? (LOL) that may stop it cold! good luck

One simple word NO

And yes i think you should also tell her what you said here but if she just doesn’t get it just tell her to back off sometimes you just have to be blunt and honest
