Thread: Relative is not coming to Party "not her thing'

Tweet

Kinda upset at my husbands Aunt who is not coming to our Halloween Party be cause it is 'Not her thing'.

When my husband was young their family always had a small party and the year before we moved to our current house She held the party.

We have about 70 people show up, Family (25), friends, work friends, and people from Church. A few years ago she commented that she liked it better when it was 'Just Family' (they always had a few people that were not 'family')

If we kept it 'Just Family' we would not be celebrating this year because only one family from my husbands side is coming, of course the people from my side don't count as 'family'.

I don't get it, my husbands Mother (her Sister) passed away 12 years ago, if my Nephew threw a party I would go weather I was 'into it or not'.

We do two gatherings a year, 4th of July and Halloween, they have not been to the 4th for a few years now because they bought some property up North and go up there, but Halloween weekend they would be at home, that is only about 25 minutes away.

Also my Husbands Grandparents Who have always been way into Halloween and always help out with our Party in someway, and always have the coolest costumes, will not be able to make it this year because they are Much older and have some health issues and can't really drive at night, they live a few blocks from His Aunt, but She is still not even bringing them out here.

Whatever....I guess I just needed to vent!

that does suck. but better that she stays at home than come to your party with a sourpuss face or just being a party pooper.

I completely understand how you feel Natascha. When we put all our efforts into trying to do these wonderful things, no matter how we try to stay excited someone always comes along that has to rain on our parade. Try to overlook her inconsiderations & have a good time along with your guests that really come to enjoy all your efforts.
