Just found out my sister is annoyed by me 😔
My sister and I have always been very close! She has a toddler who I’ve always been very close with! I spoil her and I love her like my own. We also both have babies only 4 months apart.
A little back story. I don’t have a licence and don’t drive. I got into a car accident when I was a child and have panic attacks a lot when I would try and drive. It was advised by my therapist, even after exposure therapy, that it’s better for my mental health not to drive. I take taxis, ubers and everyone in my family has always supported me and offered to drive me places if I needed. (Or so I thought.)
My sister and I get our kids together once a week and have done this since her first was born. It’s literally never been an issue and she’s always seemed happy to pick me up. I always buy us lunch or coffee or offer to pay for gas!
My husband recently had dinner with my sisters husband and he told him that she always talks about what an inconvenience it is for her to pick me up and how she finds it annoying.
She’s never said this to me and I always ask her if she’s okay picking me up.
If I knew it was an issue, I would never have asked her in the first place.
Now I feel like a burden.
I don’t know if I should bring this up to her, but I don’t want to out her husband because he told that to my husband in confidence.
I don’t know if she’ll ever tell me how she feels and I’ll feel like a burden and that I’m annoying her every time she comes to get me daughter an I.
(This issue and topic isn’t about me driving or not. Even if I had a licence, we only have one car and we cannot afford a second car, so please don’t comment to just get my licence)
