Anyone else being left out for Christmas?
So was anyone else totally left out of their families plans for Christmas? My family was kind enough to plan our family get together 2 months in advance via Text messages to each other... while my husband and I were on our Honeymoon out of the country and we never recieved any of the messages. We never found out about when Christmas with my family was going to be held until the week before Thanksgiving because I called to ask if plans had been made. I was informed that it would be held on this Saturday because it was more convienent for my siblings that all have children then doing it on Christmas eve when we have traditionally held it, also the day I took of from work because this is when it is normally held.
Now I am being told that I am being a Brat because I am upset that I can not spend Christmas with my family and that we were totally left out of the planning process because they did it when they knew we were out of the country. The reason we can not attend is because I work on Saturdays, I have worked on Saturdays for the past 5 years that I have had my job but they all seemed to have forgot this. I have decided that I am not going to go to see my parents on a different day because it is inconvient for me and now my siblings think I am punishing my mother and she did not do this on purpose so I am just being mean. Honestly, I am not going to see her because I am pissed and I do hope it upsets her, I hope in the future her and my siblings might remember that I can not attend things on Saturdays. I think it is pretty poor that for the 5 years I have been with my husband his family has always remembered that I work on Sat. and have managed to plan their events on days when we can attend but my own family can not manage this.
Sorry... I just really needed to vent.
Re: Anyone else being left out for Christmas?
I'm sorry you were left out.
As my family grows, my parents gave up on everyone being there at the same time. It's just my sister and I, but her 2 kids have different dads, and she's with another guy with 2 kids with another woman... and now I'm only going to be here for Christmas on odd years since H is from NC and we get his kids for Christmas on even years. People come when they can, and their house is more of an airport terminal lol.
