Sometimes, I cannot handle my sister. She’s is the biggest attention seeking drama queen.
My husband and I both got sick and tested positive for flu 2 days after Christmas. I called everyone in my family to let them know. My mother and stepfather were already sick but from sinus infections/cold. Both had been to doctor but neither had flu.
My dramatic sister immediately said she had the flu too. I told her to go to the doctor, which she never did. Fast forward to New Year’s Eve. My sister made a point to call me to say she just had a cold and was “completely better”. I saw on Instagram she went out partying that night.
Now, she’s posting on Facebook that she’s on week two of the flu, and she hasn’t been this sick since junior high. Someone commented asking if she tested positive for flu because their entire family is sick but they the only one with actual flu. My sister responded to say that her entire family tested positive for flu after we were all together for Christmas. No...out of 8 people at Christmas, only my husband and I had the flu. My brother and his girlfriend aren’t even sick, and our parents just had colds.
It infuriates me that she bragging about having the flu (but refuses to go to the doctor) and lying about our entire family being sick. Also, if she actually did think she had the flu, she’s a huge bitch for going out partying while she was supposedly sick. Once we left the doctor and picked up our prescriptions, my husband and I have stayed home away from everyone, where we could recover and not get anyone else sick. I sure the hell wouldn’t have gone to parties for New Years, even if I was feeling better. She doesn’t give a shit about anyone but herself, and this “I supposedly have the flu but I’m still going to party” is just another example of that.
One of my resolutions this year is to stop letting her get under my skin...and I’m already sucking at that.
Okay, petty rant over.

I get SO irked at people who go out when they're sick. I am more understanding(but still don't love it) at work situations where one can't afford to take off if a job doesn't allow for it, but otherwise,keep your germs at home!

See...I'd call her out on her BS I would too but it's because I'm so over my sister's BS. So this struck a nerve with me. |

I'd say "I thought you said you were better and that's why you went out on NYE?"

She sounds like a pain in the ass. I'd ignore her. I unfollowed her on Facebook after I saw her third post today about being sick. She’s 45 years old and her main priorities in life are partying/drinking/making sure everyone pays attention to her. So, I’m going to do my best to ignore her so she doesn’t get attention from me. (Not that I think there is anything wrong with someone 45 years old having a good time in a social setting.) |

I'm sure everyone else just humors her as well. She sounds like one of "those" FB friends you just have for pure entertainment only. Sorry.....It's exhausting.

Toxic is what I would call her. People that do this sort of bullish*t aren't worthy of my time. Sisters included.
Ignore her and you won't be affected by her bad behaviour.

i am sorry. My sister is toxic also, a narcissist, a gas-lighting drama queen, and always trying to stir the pot. Christmas was exhausting, bc even though my cousin died in a fire on Christmas eve and my mom's husband is on hospice care, she somehow managed to make it ALL ABOUT HER. So exhausting. Hugs to you.

Or 35. Or 25. Get it together! I don't blame you for being annoyed. Attention whoring at its finest. |

My sister is the same--but she's 51!! She just posted a half naked shot of herself on a mountain on Instagram. (Yes, she has thousands of followers). It's ridiculous. I unfollowed her on Facebook after I saw her third post today about being sick. She’s 45 years old and her main priorities in life are partying/drinking/making sure everyone pays attention to her. So, I’m going to do my best to ignore her so she doesn’t get attention from me. (Not that I think there is anything wrong with someone 45 years old having a good time in a social setting.)

I would ignore her. If she is 43 and seeks attention on FB for having the flu, she is not going to change just because you call her on it. In fact, she would probably love the drama.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with someone at any age enjoying the occasional party. But She is obsessed with partying/drinking. She has gone out of town for the weekend to a music festival and left her 3 cats and 2 dogs locked in her house. She didn’t arrange for anyone to check on them or let them out. She told me they would be fine, and she’s just clean up where the dogs used the bathroom in the house. Her priorities are seriously fucked up. I hope she gets better if she really is still sick. I really do...but I’m not feeding her any attention. If I talk to her in the next few days: “oh, you’re still sick? I didn’t know!” |

I'd feel sorry for her. Obviously she needs more attention than she is getting in her life. And if she really had the flu she wouldn't be physically able to go out partying on NYE. As Mr. T. would say, "I pity the fool."

That's not just an attention whore, that's a fucking asshole. Unacceptable! |

See...I'd call her out on her BS Oh, me too! And if she really had influenza there's no way she would feel like going out on NYE. Chances are her friends already know she's a drama queen, like the friends I have IRL and on FB, we all know what's real and what's not... |

Your sister sounds like a piece of work. Just shake your head and don’t engage. |
