Family get togethers or not?!

AIBU to suggest that it is not my turn to host the family (10 of us when altogether) at my house when I did this in May of this year and then the others have been to each others houses 5 or 6 times for weekends during the year that we were not part of. It is now apparently my turn to host so that we can all get together and when I suggested it might not be my turn was told "don't over analyse it we just need to get together". When I asked when my brother would take his turn I was told by my DD that him and my stepmum were staying there in a few weeks time. Not feeling happy but is it just me?

So they don't include you in their other get togethers and expect you to host them when they feel like it? Tell them you are busy and let them get on with it elsewhere

Thanks kazillionaire I thought they were being cheeky beggars. When they do come to mine my DB and DF sit and have their own conversation too.

Just say no and mean it saying you are not up to planning and hosting such a large gathering again. Someone else's turn.

They sound incredibly presumptuous, selfish and idle.

Could you invite yourself to your brothers when dyepmum stays there?

MrsMouse03 · 28/09/2018 20:04

I could try that but I'll be waiting for the excuse! DB always saying we should get together so that our boys can see each other!

They sound like a bunch of CF. They have get together which you're not invited so when they do see fit to invite you you always have to be the host?
