Just me complaining but, I planned a trip to DL because my 11 yr old asked to go for her birthday my sister budded in and now has turned this in to a mini vaca for only SOME of our family, I have 6 kids this was a only me and b-day girl now my other kids are mad because their cousins are going and they aren't and my sister is bugging me to bring other kids and I can't afford it now mom and dad who are divorced are going and I'm being told I'm selfish this might be their(momand dad) last trip and I'm not bring my kids OMG this was a weekend trip for my daughters b-day!!!!! Now I'm a bad person geez! Sorry had to let it out
Sorry to hear that :( it is pretty expensive and times are rough at the moment. Just talk to them and explain the situation it they don't understand then at least you tried. and if their so upset about not bringing yr other kids along then tell them to pay for it. - snowwhitegirl88

She knows how (for lack of a better word)broke I am and she is too it's just my sisters way to be a inconsiderate ban in the butt, I'm sure they all understand to a point but they are still on my case it's so annoying it's just my families way I guess but I still feel guilty That I can't bring them all this trip because of my parents sigh I'm sure it will be fine - lisaw

You are not being selfish. You are doing what is best for your family and if that means only taking one child, that is ok. Don't let family change your plans. Afterall this is a special day for you and your daughter, not anyone else. Don't lose sight of that. Good luck! - tram1995

Wow Im so sorry to hear that. I have an aunt that's like that. She always buts in and expects to be invited everywhere but doesn't chip in. Honestly, I would tell them that they are being selfish and inconsiderate to your daughter. It's her birthday and she wants to spend time with you. Maybe let them know that they are free to go and you'll see them in passing. Or change the date you guys are going. - MsNick

Sometimes it is best just to lay down the law and say no, it was just for me and my daughter, that is it. Sometimes it is tough to be firm and direct, and you sound like an a-hole, but you have to do it sometimes. - ZombieJerky

Easy solution. When things get like this get for me I just go back to the original plan and call it good. Take you and the birthday girl and be done with it. - happylrac

My older kids always went for their b days we would go in may and oct every year but, as they got older we had sports and such that has kept us away, my daughter that I'm bringing has never done a b-day at DL and has a cronic illness so I want her to have a fun time all her friends are always gone when her b-day comes around so she doesn't have great b-days If I have to walk away from my family I guess I will. I'm also hoping my DD can bring a friend to make her trip even more special. I'll be posting pictures when we get there (June 10-13) hope I can see some of u there. Thank u all - lisaw

Oh man that sounds like something my family would do... did you tell your sister that you cant afford it? can she maybe help you out since she wants them to go so bad? - norwalknancy

I hope she has an amazing birthday and really hope this works out in your favor. I agree with everyone. Be firm, direct and tell them no. If they have a problem with it, oh well. At the end of the day, it's about your daughter. If She's happy, that's all that matters - MsNick
