Sibling Jealousy?

[boona]

So my mums birthday a few days ago and my sister took her out for a steak at lunch, nothing wrong with that at all... I took her for afternoon tea (both meals cost about the same). I went round to my sister's today and saw a Thankyou card from mum to her saying "Thankyou for the best birthday ever, love you" I said to my mum " this is nice, thanks for my card" (being sarcastic) Mum said, oh I forgot to get two cards.....

Am I right to feel offended by this?

I try so very very hard not to have rivalry between my children.

My mum and I had a falling out about 8 years ago. I didn't think it was a big deal but unbeknown to me she changed her will and cut me out of it. 2 years later she developed breast cancer aged 59. My brother, sister and I all looked after her equally and i personally shared some very special days with her. She was always a difficult woman, and an alcoholic. 3 months before she died she changed her will again and included me so everything would be split 3 ways again. I again knew nothing of this. When she died my brother took great joy in telling me that I'd been written out originally . I told him it didn't matter - I still loved her. No idea what he hoped to gain by telling me

[ummmm]

My granddad did the same to my mum but he never changed his will back. Her siblings didn't tell her though.

Do you know why he did that ummmm?

[ummmm]

They fell out because my mum put my nan in a care home. She had dementia and he's wasn't very mobile so it became too dangerous for her.

Sounds like your mum didn't have a choice x

[ummmm]

She didn't. He would have been peed off about how much it cost. He ended going into a home a year or so later and loved it.
