I got a weird email from my brother's girlfriend yesterday. Apparently she is organizing our family Christmas? Including events leading up to and after the 24-25th. I'm actually kind of offended. Not sure why, because I don't want to host, but I feel like I'm being directed regarding how to spend my time. By someone I'm not related to. It's weird.

 Not weird.  I would feel put off it the message didn't come from an actual family member either.

 Feeling put off is normal.  I just can't believe she DID IT!

"ALSO, I am trying my best to get our xmas plans in order and I believe [my parents] are here for December 16 - January 2 SO, I was hoping we could do the lights at the garden again MAYBE december 18 IF your dad is okay to walk around and if it's not raining - cuz it's no fun in the rain.

Also, Christmas wise, we will likely host at our place. Obviously you and [dog] are welcome. Also thinking maybe a dinner with just you and [dog] maybe December 8 eve, for an christmas movie!!!!!? Not sure what your work schedule is like so..i'm throwing all of this at you at one.

Let me know when you can.
Cheerio

[girlfriend]"

 

I also note that they are coming for his birthday and then skipping town right before mine. Go figure.  and WHAT IS THAT LINE??  'also, Christmas wise, we will likely host at our place'.  WTF?!  Let's remember here ... SHE IS NOT RELATED TO OUR FAMILY!

No, she isnt. But it seems like she is permanent.

Honestly.

I see nothing wrong with the email.

Actually, I see her being friendly and inclusive to you.

I love you, Tig, but this seems completely harmless and even downright thoughtful.

I think your problem with it is who this girlfriend is dating.

If you were my kid coming to me with this, I'd tell you to get over yourself.

Please understand I don't mean that snarky.

Another thing, it seems like she is a fan of Christmas as much as you are.

Enjoy that.

She seems pretty cozy in whatever role she sees herself in. Pushy.

She does sound permanent, and I don't see anything wrong with the email. But maybe there's a back story I'm missing?

The back story is that my bro doesn't communicate directly with anyone in the family. And she's planning Christmas for MY family. If we're as related as people think I'm going to go plan Christmas for her family. THAT wouldn't be weird at all.

And besides, there are plenty of posts about family members trying to take over Christmas/Thanksgiving/pie cooking/stuffing recipes, whatever. Here is mine.

AND - it's not about her as an individual person. I actually like her more than I like my brother. In fact, I often (to other people) say that I question her taste in men.

Did you ask what the rest of your family thinks about her trying to take over? I think that is your answer. Your family should do what you want and then invite her and bro.

And as I said before,, I do think she is pushy.

 Thanks DG - but I'm not hurting. I'm just amazed by my family.  As usual.

What I see is an email running plans by you and asking for input.

I think you are over reacting.

If she is permanent, then her planning events that involve your family is not weird.

She is becoming part of your family.

"ALSO, I am trying my best to get our xmas plans in order and I believe [my parents] are here for December 16 - January 2 SO, I was hoping we could do the lights at the garden again MAYBE december 18 IF your dad is okay to walk around and if it's not raining - cuz it's no fun in the rain. 

 

This is asking what you think about a trip to that light thing and if you can go.

 

Also, Christmas wise, we will likely host at our place. Obviously you and [dog] are welcome. Also thinking maybe a dinner with just you and [dog] maybe December 8 eve, for an christmas movie!!!!!? Not sure what your work schedule is like so..i'm throwing all of this at you at one.

 

Here, she is saying they are hosting and asking if it fits in your schedule . 

Then she wants just you and your dog to come over for dinner and a movie. 

She is asking if you are able to make it.

 

It's a totally friendly email inviting you and asking if it works for you.

There is nothing pushy about it in my opinion.

And I think that maybe I need to stop talking about this. I'm sorry I brought it up. The more I think about historically not being invited, being ditched and lied to and now an invitation that I can't possibly participate in the worse I actually am feeling. Maybe I am just someone that my family is not interested in having involved in family activities. Let's drop it before someone decides to throw that at me. I'm sorry.

 Ok. That sounds like a pity party.

You ARE being included.

Sorry Tig. It sucks when you are trying to vent and people repeatedly disregard your emotions as being invalid. I know exactly what that's like.

 Yes.  I feel bad.  That is why I asked to stop this conversation before someone threw that in my face.  Thank you.  Can we please stop now?  I've already apologized for posting  it in the first place.

Now let me get this straight.

You posted this asking what we think.

I tell you what I think and how I see it.

You are not getting the pats on the back you want so you attempt to disengage.

Ever think maybe you should face these feelings instead of hiding behind them?

Your feelings are valid.

But in this case, unwarranted.

Now before you get all pissy, I am not trying to pile on.

But if you were my daughter, I'd be telling you to grow up, it's not all about you.

Or maybe you could try recognizing that this is a place to come vent before you have to put a smile on your face and power through.

I've come here to complain before, about somethings I knew I was overreacting about, but I needed to have my real feelings heard. I needed to get that out before having to sit nicely with the people that had royally pissed me off.

Venting is wonderful.

So is perspective.

Sometimes ones perspective is wrong so it's better not say anything.

Often seeing another perspective helps us grow.

Actually, knowing when to stop is often better than perspective, whether you are right or wrong.
