Why is it that...(vent & long)

once I book something for the wedding, I find something out about my family that makes us wish we eloped?

1.  Today I found out that my parents had our exs over for dinner when my step sister, (who we will call E) and her family was visiting from Mass.  I didn't even know that they were down and have yet to meet their new baby.  

2.  We are supposed to go up to E's house for the baby dedication on Sunday.  My step mom asks what time we think that we are going to get there and I tell her 1230 since everything starts at 1.  I find out at that point that we were only invited to the party not the services because E didn't think that we wanted to go.  I told my step mom that we would be there for the services but E has yet to even say anything to me about the church. 

3.  I told my parents about a really good airfare to get down to FL.  My step mom said that we should book, so I did and she booked for her and my father.  Later I find out that she has booked and paid for my step bother and his family, is finalizing ticket for E and her family and is waiting to hear back from my brother to book his tickets. 

I could go on about how I feel like they think our relationship is bad and they are just tolerating it rather than accepting of it.  I am just so tired of everything and I know that some of this stuff shouldn't bother me, but it does.  I am sorry if I sound like a whiney b*tch but I had to get this off my chest.  Please feel free to flame away and tell me that I am stupid.

PS - If you got through this you deserve your favorite drink in an extra large cup.

    How about and extra large wine bag! Cathy I'm sorry you feel this way. Your not stupid! It would certainly bother me if my dad had my X over for dinner w family that I haven't even seen. I know they are "friends" but you are family! Did they buy your tix? If not, why are they buying for everyone else and not the bride and groom? Axe all your plans and come to Hawaii this week : )

  • Thank Jenn!!  It is really temping on going to Hawaii with you!!  We could have a double wedding.

    No they did not buy our tickets and have not even offered to pay for them.  The only thing that they said that they would put money towards is the reception since I told them that we weren't planning on inviting my step sis, step brother and their families because it wasn't in our budget to.  I haven't heard a word about it since then, (a few months ago when we decided to get married in FL).

  • Ugh Cathy I am sorry to hear this!  I am in kind of the same boat as far as leaning toward cancelling it all and just having FI and I do our thing together. 

    It's so messed up for them to be acting that way!
