I love your site. You seem to work very hard to upkeep with what you do.

Hello all. I would be upset if the context was taken out of perspective, or done intentionally. Maybe what needs to be considered is Maybe there was no initial plan of this happening when planning the get together… Maybe when you invite one person, the rest of the people always leech on, and have to have other people chaperone them places… Maybe with money being tight, the original people offered the outting tried to give an excuse, so maybe that brother said bring them along, but “dutch”.

Have you talked to brother1 about this?

Yes I would be upset. Something like that just happened to me and I am hurt and angry. My niece had a Christening and everyone was invited except my grown children and grandkids. I guess they figured I have too many grandkids.I would just never let on how that made me feel.

I would absolutely be upset if someone in my family was having a celebration and everyone was invited but me!! I think it’s rude, and I’d be very hurt.

Well, tricky! They did invite you guys, and you did decline. Maybe they had a reason for not mentioning the birthday celebration? Maybe it was a last minute decision at the restaurant? I’d give them the benefit of the doubt…and I’d gently ask if they had planned to do the birthday thing before they went. Then maybe explain that while you couldn’t have afforded dinner, you would have appreciated being told about the birthday celebration so that you cold send along your best wishes. *shrugs* Still stinks, I know.

I would definitely be upset and I would let everyone know about it. I wouldn’t cause drama, but I would let the important party know that I would have been there if I was informed it was for a celebration of some sort. BG

Very dissappointing to find inconsideration in a family member. Chalk it up to a learning lesson and next time try to get all the information before hand. I know it's hard to do sometimes. Babas last blog post..Aloha Friday

It would be a bummer but I wouldn’t let it get to me that bad. There will be plenty more times to be with family.
