You're not being the asshole by being concerned for your sister, but you're also kind of going about this in a passive-aggressive way. If you're really appalled at your mom's treatment of your sister, you could take her in yourself, or you could talk to your mom directly about it, or you could offer to help pay to cover the AC if money is an issue. Buying something behind her back that you know she doesn't want in her house, even if it's for a good cause, doesn't actually fix the problem. Is this the best way to handle this? Or is it just the easiest?

Taking her in isnt an option at this point sadly. Money isn't the issue, my mom just finds it unnecessary becauseit'snot summer. I know this is a bit passive aggressive, but I far more worried for that child than i am upset with my mom.

When my father died he told me to take care of my sister and I feel horrible not doing as much as I can when she and he child needs it. Excessive heat is not good for the child and can cause things like low birth weight.
