Significant Birthday Plans

[NotTram]

I have a twin and another three siblings. All live in different areas of the country. We are trying to plan a weekend getaway with family and cousins for a long weekend to celebrate this significant birthday.
Don't get together often because of distance and general work and life etc
Had decided on an area now locking in dates.
My twin has now decided they want a couple of friends to come with their families. I know these friends but not that close that I want to go away with them on my big birthday.
And have told sibling this but they won't listen
😡

Just pull out and do something else for your birthday then. Your twin obviously wants to spend it celebrating with friends, which is fine, but it doesn't mean you have to go with it

Awkward, as it's obviously their birthday too. On balance, they should celebrate separately with their friends. But if they won't then you have two choices. Either put up with it or pull out before anyone parts with any money.

What do the other family members think?

Havnt spoken to other family members yet

It just makes me cross as we had a plan and now and they have changed it.
Nothing is booked and paid for yet but it's something we need to book in early and soon.

I may just take my family away instead for my actual birthday which solves that problem. It's a shame though as cousins will miss out on a catch up.

Speak to your other siblings and explain why you are pulling out. You may find they are in agreement with you and pull out as well. So you could invite them to join your family....
