Well no health concerns or anything for me but there is a lot of family drama going on in my family. I'll tell you the story.
In September, for my niece's 3rd birthday, we went to the Discovery Museum and had load of fun. At this party was my mom, dad, younger brother, younger sister, older sister, brother in law, my brother in law's mom and sister and a bunch of other people but they aren't really involved in the drama. Museum was fun la di dah.
Then we came back to the house and this is when the drama started. My brother in law's house was robbed two years ago (they took his PS3, some headphones and a garden hose among other things) and it was proven my younger brother was the reason behind that. My brother in law forgave my younger brother and everyone's moved on. A few months ago, my younger brother was involved in some questionable activities while staying at my brother in law and sister's house. My brother in law works as a security guard and my sister is a social worker so you know they can't get involved in some questionable mess, less losing their jobs. My brother in law was mad when he found out about these activities. so he told my mom and dad that my younger brother was not welcome back at his house and they said ok. And some nonsense happened with my younger sister too that I'm not even going to go into.
Ok so fast forward to the party. My mom and dad decided to bring my younger brother to the party despite the fact that my brother in law said he wasn't welcome. My brother in law pulled my mom and dad aside to remind them again that my younger brother was not welcome. From what I heard my mom BLEW UP at him and started getting defensive they even pulled my sister into the mix. They even said things like my brother in law is a good for nothing freeloader and he's cheating on my sister and blah blah blah. So now on top of my brother not welcome back, my younger sister, my mom and my dad are not welcome here either.
My problem is now everyone is trying to involve ME in the drama. I live here with my sister and brother in law. I watch their daughter and I'm about to go to dealer school to learn poker and blackjack. I don't like drama. I also don't see any problems with my sister and brother in law and their marriage, but then again I'm not looking because it's none of my business, nor is it anyone else's. But that not stopping my family from nosing in. I like my brother in law, and in some ways we are a lot alike. We both like anime, we both like computers, we both hate drama and we both pretty much keep to ourselves.
My grandmother called a few weeks later and now SHE'S involved in it too. She had some negative things to say about my brother in law. The problem here is that EVERYONE in my family is going to mess up their chances of ever seeing my niece again. They already p'oed her father, they are smidge close to p'oing her mother too and then my mom and dad won't see their granddaughter and my grandmother won't see her great granddaughter ever again if they don't all just chill out.
I think my brother in law has ever right to not want my younger brother here. But he shouldn't have brought the problem up on his daughter's 3rd birthday. That was wrong but it was also wrong for my mom and dad to disrespectfully bring my younger brother here when it was already told to them that he was not welcome here.
But anyways what's a family gathering without a little drama right? I just wish they would keep me out of it. I'm neutral. I just think everyone acted pretty immaturely that day.
Now no one is talking to each other and it's really awkward. And I feel like they want ME to pick a side and I honestly don't think it's fair to either me or my 3 year old niece. And family Thanksgiving this year, unfortunately, is not going to happen. The first time in 20 something years we are not spending Thanksgiving together all because of this mess. :(
And on top of this, my family is always keeping secrets from each other and the secrets aren't even secrets at all. Just drama mostly about money and they are always piling these so called secrets on me and be like "Don't tell Grams." or "Don't tell your mom." UGH!!
