Am I petty or is she crazy? 🤓🤓🤓🤓😂😂😂😂

I didn’t tell a lot of my family that I was taking 8 on this little trip around Southern Africa… CBA for any negative comments. I just posted a pic of kiddo by a giraffe to the family group chat and my big sister was NOT HAPPY. She started up in my DMs about how dangerous it is to do this and how I’m immature and should speak to the family before making these decisions. Vacations with expert guides on kid-friendly tours are sooo dangerous y’all 🙄🙄🙄🙄

She thinks 8 is our collective child because she’s [i]our[/i] sister… nah. She’s my kid now and everyone else does jack shit to take care of her so why would I consult them? My older sister [b]told me not to adopt her and would have let her go into foster care[/b]…..🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

She tried to tell me I can’t do this stuff without asking… I replied with a photo of the adoption certificate… 🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓😁😁😁😁😁😁 She says I’m petty. Lol.

@TryingtoLava thanks lava ❤️❤️
Sounds like she is trying to grasp on anything possible to make you look irresponsible ,or to feel that way yourself ,since it was never what she wanted in the first place ,you to care for her

@PepsiColaP Yeah seems like it… she didn’t want her but didn’t want me to have her if she couldn’t… and now she does want her? Make it make senseeee 😭😭😭😭

she sounds like overly cautious, scared and dramatic..maybe she's only jealous you didn't take her with you??
Raffiki · 22-25, F
@elafina Maybe yeah. She thinks as the oldest she gets more of a say than I’m willing to give her 😂😂😂😂 I didn’t invite her because she’s tooooo much 😳😳🙄🙄🙄😂😂😂

@Raffiki i get it and it's also nice to have a more closed-circle family vacation sometimes than inviting the whole family lol but good that you did go 🤗🦒
Raffiki · 22-25, F
@elafina Yeah I wanted it to just be the two of us 🤗🤗🤗🤗 If one sibling came they all would lol

You’ve taken on the responsibility of being her guardian, you make that call, not any of them

Also I really admire what you did by adopting her💛
Raffiki · 22-25, F
@JRVanguard thank you :)

Most importantly, your were correct in your response, what with a picture being worth a thousand words.
If you're the legal guardian you don't need anyone else's permission.

Sounds like your big sis is a bit controlling and no it's not her call
8 is getting a wonderful experience!You are not petty.

as a South African, I have got to agree with her to some extent.
Even though you may have had expert guides, the general lot of you (foreigners to South Africa) are not the least bit South African street smart enough to avoid being victims of crime.
You were probably robbed in one way or another and you are completely oblivious to it.
Nonetheless, hope you had a good experience.

Isn't she in Florida anyway? As if she could help out at all without a 12 to 24 hour travel delay.
Raffiki · 22-25, F
@Valerian She would LOVE for me to ask her to come babysit so I could go ok vacation. She’s always fishing for time alone with 8. But it’s not going to happen. And yeah she’s still over there… but she lives in a dream world I guess 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@Raffiki Yes, I know many 'i can do it better people and family members. Lovely unsolicited advice, second guessing, backseat driving, supervisor like superior attitude. All of them a pure joy 🤣 to be around or chat on the phone with.
