Ugh, WDYT?
About 3 weeks ago, I got an email from one of my first cousins. Another cousin of ours contacted her about doing a dinner for our mom?s at a cousin?s house here in CT to celebrate Mother?s Day for our mom?s.
This side of the family is huge. My mom is one of 13 kids, and there are 7 girls total. For this event, 5 of the sisters would be there. Including spouses, children (all of my first cousins) and their spouses, we?re looking about 40 people. My cousin included her SIL?s on the email, and they want to include their moms, spouses etc, which brings the total to 60.
The idea was to have a bbq, and that all of the children of the sisters would provide food. The house they want to use has a great outdoor bbq area, but if it rains, cramming 60 people inside would really suck.
I am so totally against this idea. It just sounds like a cluster fark waiting to happen. My mom hates the idea of this huge party, and would much prefer something else. Someone tossed out the idea of a group dinner out Saturday night, but then we?re still looking at almost 60 people. My cousin is waiting for me to suggest alternatives, but I?m thinking of declining to be involved. And just doing my own thing for my mom, what do you think?
Re: Ugh, WDYT?
There is no way I'd want to participate in that craziness. I fully agree with your "cluster fark" comment and would much rather do something with my own mom - especially if I knew my mom wasn't interested in something like this.
