TLDR: had a go at my sister for not helping out as she has been coming down with her family everyday & not doing her bit & had a go at her but mum/her thinks i am in the wrong!
SO my sister lives near me (couple doors down). She, with her family (3 kids/husband) would come over to over house everyday and expect to be waited on upon. so things like she would just go in the kitchen sit down, my wife/mum set the table, then afterwards take the plates away, wash em etc.. while she would be in my mums room with her family playing games on phone. Her kids would make mess in the room(s) which we would clean up after they had left.
She has occasionally cooked food at her home and brought it over.. and in the past she has helped my mum out with various bits like court etc but we have also helped her look after her kids when shes gone off to uni, her husband has also helped out in the house occasionally. just mentioning as my mum keeps bringing this up..
so anyway I had a go at her and all hell broke lose as if i had done/said something wrong. She started shouting and bringing other unrelated issues.. I had talked to my mum earlier on and she said she would talk to her but i waited a month'ish and nothing was done..
Now I dont expect her to come and help out everyday but when you know people are tidying up in the kitchen and you are on your phone playing games.. that is not on. However my mum doesnt see anything wrong as she says my sister is coming 'home to her mother's home' (I might add we are asians so a bit of that dynamic plays into it)..
What do you say.. should i have let it go or?
