@mind_yourboundaries: 🤷🏻‍♀️ Well is she entitled OR just trying to maintain connection? Resource mentioned: The CLEAR Formula. It’s how I write all my scripts leading with connection first, so I can hold the other person tenderly while communicating my boundary. Comment or DM “Clear Formula” and I’ll send you more info on the framework. PSA - this story was shared by one of you for educational and reflective purposes only.

I’m going to kind of side with the sister. Perhaps she’s trying to expand the kids horizons? Foreign travel is so educational! Find a way to make it happen. This will be the trip the kids remember.

People move. People grow up. People that love each other find compromises. The SIL is not doing anything wrong asking them to come see her, it’s not wrong to not come right now, its not wrong to have other family vacations, but it is wrong to have a toxic family dynamic. This all isn’t good and it sounds like both sides have unreal expectations. 1. They dehumanized this alone girl by calling a gift “a mandate” or a demand and treating her move like a punishment to them. Yuck. 2. They’re acting like the SIL wanting to keep the family together and share something great with them is unruly and selfish and entitled. Uh? She’s a member of the family too, regardless of location right?! That’s toxic af to treat a family member, anyone, like that. 3. Both parties don’t have direct communication about boundaries and expectations. If the money isn’t wanted or it feels not good, give it back with a conversation. If SIL isn’t getting cost, break it down and follow it up with compromise. Maybe put the funds in a savings for her to come home or for the group trip in the future. It’s very simple dialogue to resolve this. Hey sis, we absolutely want to come and see you, but let’s plan for DATE, that gives us time to develop a structure of cost with your help on cost to travel as well as enjoy the scenery and make memories without worrying about price while there. And in the meantime, we can we all find a date to bring you here before then too, and do FaceTime dates, since we all miss each other and distance just asks for a different communication structure. …. Given they all live such different lives, they need to get curious about each other instead of being judgmental.

ask the sister to pay for the trip. it would be a good vacation for the whole family. it would be bonding time for the family as a group.

If this is about the kids .., why not ask them ? Alternatively; they can communicate to the sister what they do have and ask if she is willing to top up ; if they are actually close and friendly to her … cause if it’s really about memories - memories can also be made there 🤷🏽‍♀️

A bit out of touch and entitled, just be blunt, we can’t afford it and we need to parent and be present more than be at your becking call sis. You are wellcome to visit us, we will IF we can, but for now we can’t.
