AITA for telling my sister gender reveal parties are tacky and attention seeking

My sister (25F) has always been a bit of an attention seeker.

She would always announce her grades, new jobs, raises, etc. whenever the family was together.

It annoyed me when she used to tell the entire family she got a 100 on her test in a class that we were taking together.

Even though she knew I only got a C- or D+.

Then, they would ask me how I did after her announcement.

This woman and her sister are both pregnant.

She was always the golden child.

And I (26F) was the screwup.

We’re both pregnant right now, both of our first kids.

She’s married with a great job and a house.

And I’m on my own in a studio right now.

She didn’t want to go to her sister’s gender reveal party.

A couple weeks ago, I got an invitation to her gender reveal barbecue/pool party.

I didn’t want to deal with her showing off to the entire family in front of me.

So I told her I won’t be coming.

She asked why, so I told her that I didn’t want to deal with her friends and our family.

She insisted it would be fun.

So I told her that gender reveal parties are tacky and I don’t want to deal with it.

She was being honest with her reasons, but her parents think she’s being rude.

She, again, insisted that it would be fun.

And just to think of it as a barbecue with colored cookies.

I snapped at her.

Saying I didn’t want to go to a stupid party to watch her show off to our family just like she did when we were younger.

She hung up on me, and now our parents are upset at me for being rude to her.

If you can’t say something nice don’t say anything at all.
