My sister is a control freak. I am 45 and happily married with two sons, one is my own the other is my stepson
(my husbands from a previous marriage) At the beginning of the summer, I dropped by my sister's house and she informed me that " I hope you are not mad at me but I signed Nick up for an art class on Saturday at the Art Museum. It is every Saturday from 10 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. for the next six weeks." I told my sister that it was really sweet of her to do that but Jim and I have several plans for the summer with the boys and that Saturday is just not a good day; I told her that maybe we should reschedule it to another day or do it in the fall so it does not interfere with our weekend plans this summer. My sister became very angry and ended up coming over the following day and throwing the tickets for the class on my counter and saying "do what you want". I called tell her that I didn't want her to lose her money for the classes, she hung up the phone on me. In the end I got her money refunded but just want to know I am wrong to think she should have asked me BEFORE making plans ??

Of course she should have talked to you before doing something like that.
Tell her that you have plans and that if she has any ideas on what YOUR children should do with their summer than she needs to let you know before commiting anyone to anything.
be strong and make her aware that if you need help finding things to do for your children then you will ask but for her not to impose any kind of schedule on your family without you knowing or talking about it first. or at all for that matter.

You are correct in that she should have asked you first. Your mistake was in getting the refund. When someone treats you badly like that you don't assist them. Send her a cheque for the refund and wait for an apology before speaking with her again.

You know she was in the wrong. Like you said, she's controlling. Don't let her make plans for your family unless she asks you BEFORE. You have no reason to feel guilty.

No, of course not.
Sometimes you have to beat siblings - especially unmarried siblings - over the head with the BUTT OUT stick before they get the message.
