Throwaway. I (23F) have a sister “Janine” (26F). Janine is married to her husband (41M) and they have an 18-month-old son together
Since I was a teenager I’ve always been a private person. I don’t do social media, at work I don’t talk about my personal life and I only talk about work-related stuff. When I’m with family I don’t discuss my work life.
Because I’m a private person my family has no idea what I do for work, what my salary is and they also have no idea what university I went to or what degree I picked.
I’m just going to give a tiny bit of context of my family life. When I was 15/16 my mother, a single parent, started getting sick and I became her carer. By the time I was 17, she couldn’t do anything other than stay in bed. By the time I was 18, my mother had passed away. I’m not going to lie it was a struggle because I was doing my GCSEs and A-levels and managed to just pass them. I explained my extenuating circumstances to my five choices of universities and all five accepted me.
Since my nephew was born my sister has become obsessed with taking pictures of her son every single day and is constantly sending them to me. I don’t have any insecurities about my body but I just like leading a private life and I haven’t taken a picture in five years.
Every time I come around to see my sister, BIL and nephew, my sister is constantly trying to take pictures of us together and has only managed to successfully take two. Whenever my sister has her phone in her hand or is near her phone I will step away from my nephew as I know she wants to take a picture.
My sister recently worked out why I do this and she thinks I’m being an asshole because she wants pictures of my nephew and me together so that when he’s older he can look back.
AITA for this?
