Does anyone ever have the situation where it is SO hard to plan any kind of get-together within a family? My freaking family is not even that big, and trying to coordinate things between them is borderline a pain in the a$$. It is already difficult enough, being married, and trying to plan everything, holidays and such, around HIS family and MY family. But honest to God, his family is twice the size of mine, and they seem to have NO PROBLEM whatsoever planning get togethers, everyone showing up on time, everyone bringing whatever they are supposed to bring, and NO drama. But OH NO, not the case in my family. A few people seem to always make something (where, what day, what time, what to bring, who's paying ) a major dilemma and, quite honestly, I am getting sick of it. I think in the future, any occasion that requires a get-together, I am going to say, "We are having turkey sandwiches, my house, Sunday, 2:00. Be there or don't be there, but don't call me with any drama, excuses, etc., and DON'T tell me that I didn't do MY part to try and organize something!!"
Sorry. It's my journal and I needed to get that out.

Some people don't handle choices very well, they are better off if you tell them, the where,when and why and don't forget to add BOYB! lol lol lol
tell everyone to mail you a check for the party and then just order the food..maybe 20.00 a couple.
My husbands family is the same way.
We quit going...
I never see my family anymore but yes i do know how that can be. Some people just like to be difficult.
Love ya,lj
I will be t here promise!! Linda
YES...my family, actually it is my sister, who is NEVER on time. She always has to make the grand entrance!! Always dressed to the nines, even if its just a BBQ, hair done, nails polished, heels...it is 108F outside, and she's all done up!! We don't make her bring anything that its pertinent to the meals anymore. And if she is assigned beverages, the host/hostess always has back up, and we eat at the appointed time, then she gets all PO'd cuz we started without her!! BUT, when she hosts...if she says 4 pm, you'd better be there at 4 pm!! Go figure...

I have such a small family but we don't have that problem. But, yes I would say be there fine or not.
We have the same problem! So at this point I do call and tell them where to be and what to bring. It has worked so much better this way. :)

I never have to worry about my family (as in mother, father, sisters, brothers) because none of us are close (as in relationship wise), except for my sister, Tami and I, and my parents are both deceased.. so that solves that problem. I usually hang out with my kids, or my ex husbands family. No problems there.
Hugs,
Jackie
