    I am so excited we have just booked our wedding date and managed to get the date we wanted !! Have to pay the deposit next week but my sister is being very annoying

    She has always been very attention seeking but I didnt think she would be like this for my wedding! For some reason she likes all the attention on her so if something is happening in my life it has to happen in hers or she has to be bad ... We have told her we are having a wedding with a meal etc and she has turned around and said "Well i wont be eating mine i dont eat in public" ... I think she should just turn up and eat her FREE meal since we are paying for the wedding instead of complaining and playing up on her fake illness !

    iv mentioned it to my mam but she just seems to want to ignore the fact that this is going to put me in a bad mood on my wedding day, she doesnt want to get between me and my sister basically. My sister has also been complaining about being my maid of honor, she doesnt like wearing dresses or people staring at her so have decided she isnt even going to be in the wedding just turn up as a guest because as i see it all eyes will be on me and my other half not her !

    i dont know what to do the wedding is not until September 2014 so people are saying just wait and see what she is like but i dont think she is going to change I feel like its going to turn into an arguement as she is starting to do my head in with it now

    I think the only thing u can do is wait and see how it pans out personally i would not have ehr as BM, if she doesnt want a meal dont order her one and if people ask say she doesnt like to eat in public (i wouldnt care what they thought of me being mean or funny) if she has a problem then its her problem xxxx

    I wouldn't worry too much, like Mrs Bram says if she doesn't wanna eat, just don't order her any food. And nobody will even notice whether she's eating or not as all the focus will be on you :) But she will probably have gotten her head around things by then and stop trying to steal focus. Just completely ignore her and carry on with your planning :)

    She is my older sister and my only sibling and for some reason she has always had to do whatever i want to do ! or get attention for things when good things are happening to me .. i think she is just a very jealous person and likes to be better then everyone else Its quite sad really xx

    Sounds like jealousy to me! I know a girl like this, everything I've done, she's done it ten times better, blah blah blah. They say jealousy is a form of flattery but I find it effin annoying! If she's going to play up & say she's not going to eat, don't even rise to it & just say 'fine, we won't order you anything' & leave it as that, she'll prob get in a huff that you're not playing the games she wants & she'll more than likely end up changing her mind! xx

    Sounds like jealousy to me! Also is she married? It may be that she just feels a bit put out that you are getting married before her? Also, I agree with Siany, don't play games and get wound up, thats what she wants. Just turn round and say 'ok, its your choice' xxx

    My h2b's sister was exactly the same! When we got engaged, she sceamed at my h2b saying 'Thanks for ruining my life!' then stormed off crying, just because we got engaged before she did (she wasn't even with anyone and me and h2b had been together 3 years!). His mum played up to it, but we just ignored her. We refuse to let her spoil anything just because she is jealous. You just need to let it go over your head hun, she will soon get bored when she realises that you arent reacting to any of it xxx

    Women can be funny creatures! I only have about 2 very close girl mates cos they're similar to me whereas a lot of other girls really fry my poor little brain! I just can't handle them & their drama, I'm much happier with my boy mates as they tell it how it is & you always know where you stand with them! Girls are just spiteful & nasty! xx

    Yeah the hardest thing is telling everyone else not to "encourage" her. the other day i put a status on FB asking for help on engagement cake designs and my friend posted a pic on my wall with a cake and we got chatting about the engagement plans then my sis had to put her nose in the convo to say "Well whoever comes that hasnt told you there will be spare food as i dont eat in public" i felt like telling her to F-off but instead i quickly messaged my friend saying Dont encourage her she will go away if we ignore her lol and she did its just so annoying ... its not just the wedding its like she wants my life ! from being 11 i always wanted my own cafe/bakery and recently i have been selling celebration cakes to friends and family now all of a sudden she is making cakes and saying to her OH's friend who runs a cafe well you could sell my scones etc in there then bragging about it to me ! she works in IT and always wanted to work in IT but shes stealing my thunder yet again !
    Sorry for the rant just family dont want to get in the middle of our arguement ! xxx

    Sorry to say, if it was my sister (I don't have one) I'd tell her to grow up and stop being so silly. Fine if you don't want to eat in public then, don't eat. I won't feed you. As for being a MOH I'd explain my reasons for choosing her and again advise her if she's going to be like that then you don't want her to be in that role.

    I don't mean to be blunt, but if she's like this now, is she not just going to cause further upset and misery as the months of planning go by?

    I dont mind you being blunt .. I think she is but my step mam and mam say just see if she settles down, but i feel like i have to say something to her now but the problem with me is i hate confrontation and try to avoid arguements all the time xx

    You don't need to go in all guns blazing, just arrange a day with her to go out or something & then just calmly bring the subject up & if she starts shouting or going off on one, just walk away, don't rise to it & then you'll have your answer as to whether she will be likely to settle down! xx

    Yeah i could try that like. she is very hot headed and always takes things the wrong way we fell out for a while 5 year ago when she shouted in the street that i was stealing her baby ! All because she was late dropping off her daughter for me to look after which made me late for dropping my little girl off at nursery so she was already in a bad mood shouting at me so i just said right whatever and started pushing the pram and walking my daughter up to the bus stop and she shouted in the street come back so i said i havnt the time and she shouted come back and stop steeling my daughter while she was outside my front door ! god knows what my neighbors must have thought my daughter was 3 at the time and was in tears over it .. so when i pluck up the courage to have word with her i hope nothing like that happens again !!

    Blimey! I don't mean to offend, but she sounds a bit crazy! If this isn't the first time this has happened, I think you're right not to involve her in the wedding as she would probably make it all about her! Good luck & hope you can talk her sensibly, without her flying off the handle! Is it just you she's like this with? Or is this just what she's like with everybody? xx

    yeah i think she is a bit crazy like ... she seems to be like this with every one just very attention seeking wanting people to feel sorry for her etc .. my daughter has behavior problems and she even copied off that saying her daughter was doing things that my daughter was doing !! we all ignored her and she stopped doing it .. she just has to have all the attention on her xx
