My sister has gotten to be a very, don't even know the word.
For Christmas we always have it at my parents house. This year my sister decides it's too hard for her to drive the 1 mile to my parents house so we need to have Christmas at her house. But my mom & i can do all the cooking - as usual - cause my sister has a new baby & it is too hard to help. OK fine.
Then the gift my Mom got me for Christmas, she showed my sister then my sister went out & bought the same thing & says "oh i forgot". So my mom has to take the gift back & find a new gift. OK fine
Then 3 months ago my mom bought a walker for my nephew for Christmas. My sister was WITH her when she bought it. My mom told her it was a gift but after the walker would go to my sisters cause my parents house is too small. Today my sister bought a walker & just gave it to her son. So basically making my mom look bad - or so my mom feels.
i want to say something - my mom says no it will hurt sisters feelings! What should i do?

Walking on egg shells around your sister is enabling her poor behaviour. Until you or your mom tells her DIRECTLY that her behaviour is unacceptable how can you expect any change?
If she has a fit, oh well. You have to be willing to deal with the consequences of speaking your truth. If you aren't willing to deal with these consequences then you need to accept your sisters behaviour as par for the course.
I wish you the best of luck. In a round-about way, I can relate.

~I don't understand all of what you're saying. If it were me and my mom doing the cooking, we would just do it like we always do. If she wants to join she can, if not, save her some left overs.
Sounds like your mom should just stop buying her things for a while, she doesn't appreciate it.
Don't let your sister ruin Christmas for you and your mom.~

speak your mind.... tell her thats wrong.... it would make me
feel bad.... you stand up and fight for your parents...
she brought you both into the world,
and has probably asked for nothing in return....
only love, your sister is not looking
at your moms feelings either....

you should tell your sister to knock it off or you will whip her a** for her, which is just what she needs. She is just trying to be a bi**h for no good reason.

Yes talk, but do it carefully, I don't think there is any way that she won't get defensive.
Good luck!
