AITAH for throwing my sisters divorce back at her?
I 26f and my husband 28m have been married 5 years. My sister 30f got married around the same time as us. Unfortunately her and her husband did not work out and they finalized their divorce earlier this year.
Recently we were all staying at my parents house for our mother’s 50th birthday, which was a treat because the 6 of us siblings are rarely at the same place at the same time.
Of course my husband came with me, and my sister seemed weird and jaded the whole time, being very short with him and honestly all of us. The incident happened when my little brother 20m asked if we wanted to go hiking. My sister said she wanted to go and asked if i wanted to. I said no, because my husband was working and I was in charge of our 2 year old and I’d like to stay with my husband. Plus to be honest hiking with a cranky toddler does not appeal to me.
My sister rolled her eyes and said “God how f**cking codependent can you be with each other? Exes name and I were never so attached at the hip.” I responded with maybe that’s why she’s divorced and walked away with our daughter. My sister sent me a very lengthy text about how I was so rude and callous to throw her divorce back in her face and how I was a terrible sister.
My parents refuse to get involved and neither do any of our siblings except my brother who said I was right but should have just ignored her. My husband is on my side obviously.
Am I the a**shole?
