Just needed to vent about family issues. My dad and I barely have a relationship at all. We talk maybe once a year and I see him once every few years. He lives with his sister. I sent out my invitations and I sent one to my aunt and her husband and my dad. All one invitation because it’s one address and one fridge to hang it on, so I didn’t even think of sending more than one to the same address, but my aunt said I should send him his own. Then she was asking about where he would sit (would I sit him with her or my mom who he hates), then she asked me to have my mom write him a letter apologizing for divorcing him 19 years ago and say that she will be cordial towards him so he should come to the wedding. I shouldn’t have to do all this to get my father to come to my wedding!
Then my other aunt texts me and wakes me up at 5:30am saying that I have to change my menu because she doesn’t eat fish or pork, and she’s allergic to peppers which are in the vegetarian option. I couldn’t believe it! I’ve been to plenty of events where I didn’t like or couldn’t eat the food and filled up on bread or salad. There was one time I stopped at Hardee’s beforehand. So she said she wanted chicken, so I check to see what kind of chicken they have and I text it back to her, and she said she can’t have that either, she’ll just have salad and rice which is what she should have done in the first place. Then she said the whole family is coming including my cousin’s girlfriend, who was not invited. But I can’t say no because they are out of state and booked their airfare. It’s just so rude and frustrating!!!
