Aibu to feel really sad I haven't been invited?

[Moomoomango]

I know I probably am but here goes:

Preface by saying I love my family to death and we are very close, or so I thought.

My brother wife and kids invited my parents to attend a holiday next week. I thought that nice, we've been on holiday with my parents in the past and it's been lovely.

Then my uncle is invited. Then I find out her family and sister have been invited.

So essentially it is just myself and my family who have not been invited.

I was ok with it, but today they were all talking about the holiday - messages over the family what's app group about flights etc and I feel really really bloody sad. I cried all the way home from my brothers today and wouldn't want them to know I was upset because it's their choice not to invite me but... I do feel really sad.

Aibu ? I know they can holiday with who they like I just feel so sad.

I'm sorry OP, that would really hurt.

Are you sure it's not a case of one person being invited and then it snowballing much like the scenario above with others simply inviting themselves? I've been on holidays like that and never gave a thought to those who didn't go because I assumed they didn't go because they didn't want to?

You really need to raise this and find out why you're not going. Doesn't have to be confrontational.

I'd putting a message on the whatsapp group asking them to set up a separate group for their holiday chat x

I agree with all the pp that you should raise this.

Fate worse that death, being trapped on holiday with a bunch of rely's.

I can just about cope with the husband

Don't be sad - Just think, you'll have so much peace and quiet! Do something nice just you and your little family and post it up on Facebook.

I don't think posting anything on Facebook will make the OP feel any better..

Sorry this had happened, I agree with a PP who suggested talking it through with your DM. things like this can fester and take root, and destroy family relationships. It's an awful feeling, I do hope you can move past this and feel better soon.

Probably not, but given they are all openly discussing it on a WhatsApp group like the OP doesn't exist, it's probably the only language they understand. If you can't beat em, join em as they say.

Do the others have young children?

Talk to your mum op. It doesn't matter if you cry. At least then she will know how strong your feelings are.

I think OP said brother has a 3mo baby.
