I’m going to throw a small birthday party this weekend and invited my sister to come. But in order to be present, she would need to stay at home instead of going to her boyfriend’s house and, in her words, “lose her weekend.” That’s fine with me, but she also wants me to save some food from the party for her and got upset when I said I wouldn’t—because she was choosing not to come. Last year she was also invited with her boyfriend but at the time their relationship wasn’t so problematic. Just for context, in the end of last year she broke up with him because he didn’t want to spend cash to go with her to our uncle wedding (just enough to buy the bus ticket to a nearby city). They got back together a few months later but i don’t have any intentions of invitating him again.
Am I being an asshole?
TL;DR: My sister doesn’t want to come to my birthday party but gets upset when i refuse to save her some food

One day your sister will realise that family is sometimes more important than fleeting boyfriends. NTA
