NER: Family Vent (long)

Re: NER: Family Vent (long)

  • I have figured it out!

    It's b/c I am not voting for McCain!!!! 

    Lol. 

    Yeah, I am miffed at my parents. At the same time, I don't expect nor would I want them to turn down this opportunity to spend time with family, as ridiculous as some of them are being. I also do not want to put my dad in an uncomfortable position with his father, who probably doesn't really have that many years left, anyway.

    But yeah, if I was a parent it would be "all of us or none of us." 

  • That's crap, dude, and I think you should consider saying something, especially if you had a great relationship with your g'parents before, and if you think your aunts are involved.

    And maybe I'm manipulative, but I'd ask my parents to step in more and possibly refuse the trip. It's a slap in the face to you AND to your parents because they don't get their entire family to come along.

  • You don't sound like a brat AT ALL.

    What they are doing is very hurtful.  I would be extremely upset over something like that.  I think you should ask them about it. 

  • I am very sorry that this has been eating at you.  Big hugs!  You have every right to be hurt and upset-I definitely would be.  I know it hurts to see your family in a different light, but if you think your aunt played a part in it then maybe it is her you should focus on (and maybe the only reason you are doing so now-especially if she has these tendencies?).  It is hard to say if saying anything would help, but I think a note asking why they (your grandparents) would not want to spend the vacation with all of their family?  Won't they miss that bonding time?  Even if just for the invite, not paying, so that all could be there.
