MC, tell her: "Seeing is believing mother dearest." I have a sister like that too. But I say: "Whenever you're ready, just give me a phone call first in case I've had a better offer." she gets the message.

Act cool MC even if you don't feel that way.

I called my sister, she said "I have been waiting for you to call". Ok I was really good.. I did not say, "as far as I know the phone line goes both ways."

I guess we can look for excuses, age, weather etc. but picking up a phone.. to make the call to say.. can we set a date and time.... I understand your frustration... and you are right.. it is their loss. I like Sue's answer....

Marie:

you can't control how others going to behave only how we are going to respond to situation. If they call & come then they will be welcomed back in your life or it's their loss. though I like Sue's answer
