How far is too far?

Brooklyn has missed his Dad’s 50th birthday celebrations (in London, Cotswolds and Miami).

His mums Netflix premier and family summer holiday to Italy, instead going to South of France.

Crucially, his Dads Knighthood.

Of course we don’t know at this point if he was in fact invited to Windsor Castle given his no shows elsewhere.

Have you had a family feud, with a parent or sibling notably. How long did it go on for, what did you miss of one another’s and is it still going and why?

AIBU to think Brooklyn is going to regret this one day.

I presume there would be limited numbers allowed

The other three children were there and his parents.

I can’t get aerated about “missing a family holiday”, it’s not like they’ve scrimped and saved for two weeks in Tenerife. They could go on holiday every other week for the rest of their lives.

I can't muster up a single bit of a fuck tbh. Who cares?

I’m no-contact with most of my family. Pretty sure I’m seen as the bad one, but that’s fine with me as long as I get some peace.

I don’t automatically jump to Brooklyn and Nicola being the problem because DH and I had a few years where we didn’t see MIL and FIL for very long and complicated reasons that were best for us and our family at the time. We are aware that we were painted as the ‘bad guys’ but we definitely weren’t and even though we have been on good terms again for years now other people will still bring it up to us like we were at fault when they only had one side of the story.

When DH had his appointment at Buckingham Palace he could only take two guests.

The entire Peltz family seems like a nightmare. They sued their own wedding planners and were counter-sued and came off as absolute basket cases. Brooklyn seems easily led and will probably regret this.

It's very sad when this happens in families.
