SWR* Need your opinion..

I have a sweet 16 to attend. It's my cousin's party. My uncle insists that his side of the family and our side, be one big happy family.
He put me and my FH at a table with his nieces and nephews and my brother. I don't like his nieces at all. Just don't get along with them. They've ignored me and said stupid things at every function we were at.

My mom and my aunt are so close..so I have to go to this party, and have a miserable night just not to fight with my mother. I am so short on money because hello my wedding is around the corner. I'm expected to give a big envelope, but sit at a 'kid's table.'

Everyone thinks I am overreacting about it.

My FH is almost 26, I feel like they have some nerve putting him at a kid's table...just my opinion though.

also, why would you seperate us from our family. We should be sitting with my parents, aunt and uncle.

I'm so mad I don't know what else to say. Everyone thinks i am crazy, but im just so mad!!

It's kind of weird that you're not seated with your parents...how old are the nieces and nephews and your brother?

yeah i wanted to know the same thing? are we talking like 10 year olds or something? or are they just a little younger than you and wanted to sit you with more young ppl, rather than older adults??

Besides the girl who I don't get along with (she is 22), they are all high school teenagers for the most part.


I know it sounds crazy, but they are so hard to get along with. I was looking forward to this party, and i always imagined i'd be with my family. I was looking forward to it-- so i kind of didn't mind having to splurge for a big envelope. I looked at it as a nice night out.

Now it's a night from hell and my attitude is just so different. When I did my wedding plans, i bent over backwards for every single guest who i invited.

I'm sorry- just really need to vent.

Is there any way to change tables?
If not, I would just deal with it and only sit at the table to eat. I wouldn't sit at the table for the rest of the night....socialize with other tables and try to have fun...

Don't sit there unless you're eating. Cut a rug all night or go and hang with the people that you do get along with.... no one is forcing you to sit all night long. And give what you want to/can give.... it's none of anyone's business what you put inside that envelope. It totally ***** and is really rude of your aunt & uncle to do but it's one night.... Good luck!!!

They won't change the tables- that's the thing..they refuse to. They took it personal. It's upsetting because I did so much to accomodate them for my wedding.

I won't try to get back at them because I know the right thing to do and I want people to see that at my wedding.

I am going to just really try to ignore it, but it's bugging me big time lol.

Make the most of it and just mingle most of the night. You can just eat and get up and dance the night away. Kill them with kindness.
