I just flew 5000 miles with dh and 3 kids. NO one here has met the baby. I have been here for 2 full days. So far an aunt and uncle have come to meet baby (they drove 2 hrs) and my mom has come. My sister lives 20 mins away and has yet to come. I have invited her 2x on different days. She says she is busy. Which I don't doubt but come on!
Anyway she has asked me to go to my nieces dance recital. It is 2-3 hrs long in an a gym not air conditioned. My 3 yr can't sit 5 mins. So she would never make it. My baby is having major jet lag and has reversed day/night. He will only calm down for anyone but me. So leaving him makes me uncomfortable. So I politely declined. Three times.
I just text my sis to see if she has any free time tomorrow. She said "no but you could come to the recital!"
Am I being selfish for not going for my niece? Or are my reasons valid?
