Comparing your relationship with your mom to your sister's is petty and childish.
SIL, means your mom is not her natural mom. I treat my inlaws differently than my parents.
When I'm at my parents, I'm relaxed, myself, sloppy and walk around in PJs, etc. The relationship is permanant, life long, and established.
When at my MIL's, I do not carry on the same way. I wear a bra, and nice clothing, and not my PJs. I am more polite. I ask where dishes are (I just rummage at my mom's), etc. I am polite. I avoid controversial topics.
Being with your blood family IS different than in-laws. I just is.
Maybe I'm jealous bc shes shares her life & inside jokes with my mom and my sister at the time excludes me unless shes wants something from me like babysitting
Maybe because of something YOU have done. Look at yourself. Your actions. If you've hated on her and attacked her, and fought, she's going to hold you at length. Do YOU initiate warm conversation. Do you make effort? Of just complain when she doesn't?

Exactly. You and your mom are not friends. She and your sister in law are. You don't even like her, and blame her for everything. Why would she enjoy your company?
If you want your mom to be your friend, change your attitude and behaviour.

My bio sister does the same as well. She avoids wanting to hear how I feel about something that is bothering me. Matter of fact, she did it ths morning when I told her that our parents shouldn't expect me to help with the feral kitten when I want nothing to do with it. My sister didn't want to hear about it. She is living with my parents temporarily and doesn't help with the kitten either. Although I did see her hold it once for a few moments

Maybe it's wise for her to not want to hear you complain about your parents and get dragged into the middle. You don't want to look after a kitten then don't. You act like a child you will be treated like one.
