Am I over reacting to an invitation I received for a fourth of july celebration ?

Question

Long storry short. My sis and her family sent out invitations to a fourth of July bash at their rec land. Camping, fishing, fire works and pot luck and over night thing. They new my mother was going to be out of town and that my brother would not go because he is sick of being snubbed my bro in law. Both sides were invited. The other side all has money and nice campers. I was told since I did not have a camper I could not stay over night. There is 4 in their family camper sleeps ten. the boy stay in tent. Well since no one else in my family was going my daughter and I were uninvited at the last minute. We had pot luck ready and fire works and we planned on coming home. Since all of bro in laws family have campers and I would be the only on there with my daughter from my sister side, I was called and told not to come. Am I over reacting or am I being treated like crap because I am not wealthy an own a big camper. My daughter was so hurt and devestad when I told her we could not go.

Answer 1

First, to address the heartless person who answered your ad first. Not everyone has the "perfect" life you have so have some compassion or keep your rude comments to yourself.

Now to address this hurt person's concerns:
No, you are not over reacting. Your family member should be ashamed of how they treated you. But you can't let others bring you down. What your daughter will see is how you react to this snub. You are her role model and you need to explain to her that this is how NOT to treat people. Use this as a lesson for your daughter. I, personally, wouldn't want to be somewhere where I'm not wanted anyway!! Surround yourself with positive people!

Answer 2

It's sad your sister feels the need to hurt you and her niece in such a manner. From the sounds of things you and your daughter are better off not going. Let them have their fun and you take your daughter and spend a wonderful holiday with her. Honestly I would act as if it doesn't bother you for now and wait and see what is said after the holiday. Let mom help you out with having a family meeting. Tell your sister how you feel about the treatment you got and that you will not tolerate it anymore. Your daughter is the most important thing in your life and you will not stand by and let your sister hurt her niece again. Be firm!!! Hold your head high....you've done nothing wrong. $ isn't everything.... we all put our pants on one leg at a time.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

I am really sorry for you that your sister is such a jerk.
If she were MY daughter, or my sister for that matter, I would be so disappointed in her values and character.

Consider the source, do something else fun for your daughter and yourself, and write off you sister and her husbands family. They don't deserve your company anyway, not the way they are being.

Answer 4

I smile at them - seem them contained in the interest and smile at them, permitting the smile to exhibit in my eyes. i do not provide insults lower back and nor do i react to insults - i wont instruct them that i'm damage/indignant etc. sometimes i do the smile ingredient, turn and walk away, different situations i am going to do the smile ingredient and say so long. sometimes i am going to assert somewhat sneaky commentary, even if it relies upon on the issue and the insult. I wont be impolite, i wont insult and that i wont instruct that i felt the insult in any respect, yet sometimes i am going to make a cheeky or sneaky commentary after the smile previously i walk away merely to get them wondering.

Answer 5

If your sister acts like this and everyone else does to,why would you want to go?I'm sure you and your daughter can find other things to do.Just remember as far your sister goes,what goes around comes around.

Answer 6
