I am annoyed.

All you need to know before reading: I do not get along with my brother.

We are going to Hershey Park in a few weeks and my mother is coming with us. We went to Hershey about 4 years ago and she came then as well. She also came when we went to Disney. It's helpful because it gives us another hand with the kids and she will stay with them at night if H and I want to go out. So I was talking to her the other day and she goes "Oh, I invited your brother to Hershey with us".

Um....wut?

So I asked her why and it's all blah blah, spend time with the kids, blah blah blah. Okaaaaaaaaaaay. How about no? How about I don't want to spend my vacation with my brother.

I have no idea if he is going to show up or not but I'm really hoping he doesn't. Because ugh.

I'd be so pissed at my mom. And I would NOT invite her again even if it meant no alone time with h

No, just no. WTH?

[esdreturns]

Everyone cross your fingers he doesn't come. I don't think he will only because we are going during the week and I doubt he'll take the time off. Hopefully.

I've also thought about telling him not to come, but IDK.

Id have my mother tell him~

This was your vacation, she had no right

If we got along, I probably wouldn't mind as much. But I really dislike my brother. The worst part is, my mother knows this. But she just keeps pushing. Like trying to get me to call him and say congrats on getting engaged. I commented on his FI's FB page and I don't call ANYONE, ever. I haven't spoken more than 5 words to him in like 2 years after I finally had enough of his shit.

This is where I am at.  However, my mom has a habit of inviting herself and others along on things that I would rather do alone as well.

I'd just tell her that if she ever does this again, SHE will not be invited on future trips.

I don't usually, but since we live together, she tends to be up in my business more than if we lived separately.  I've gotten pretty good at just telling her I want to be alone though.

My mom is like this. She tends to think that family should love each other and have a relationship with one another just because they are family. I disagree. I have an aunt that I've purposefully distanced myself from and with whom I want no relationship. My mother continues to try to put us together. Usually its in group settings I can just avoid her. If she invited her on a trip that mom and I were going on...yeah, I'd tell her to uninvite. No way I'd let my vacation me ruined by something like this.

My mom was like this with my crazy sister...she eventually stopped because she died! *-)

He dislikes you too, right? What makes you think he'll come?

And, regardless of whether he comes or not, you need to shut this shit down with your mom.

This is exactly what my mom thinks. Doesn't matter if everyone is an asshole or not, it's FAMILY.

GAG.

You never know with him.

I normally do, in that I don't do all the crap she asks me to do regarding him. This one just caught me by surprise.

I know. You are going to have to find a way to take control of this one- unless you plan to suck it up?
