Dealing with siblings can make things complicated. Sounds a little like my family. I am the middle child and I am the most responsible one of us three. My siblings often make issues of things and then my parents make changes. I feel if I make an issue it is bad, because "I should know better". Yeah, sometimes it is annoying, but most of the time I do not let it bother me.
I'd take it as a compliment that your family thinks you are level headed enough to be able to take the disappointment without flipping out. Parents only make adjustments to their plans for a child or grown up child when they think that person is not emotionally mature enough to handle rejection or disappointment. They think you can and don't go out of their way to spare your feelings in the situation. If it does bother you to be excluded in this way, then talk with them and let them know that you want to hang out with them too and want some concessions made on your behalf.
Right! Before I was a mom, I thought of everything as if my own mother was doing things purposefully to inconvenience me as if she would actually take so much time to plot against my happiness. How silly, right? Anyway, when I became a mom, i realized that there are two sides to the story. Some days, it's tough being the 'bad guy' as kids sometimes call parents, cause we can't allow them to do just every little thing cause it's not in their best benefit. Now, that I'm a parent, the scenery looks much different and I know one day, my own daughter will think i am plotting against her, at least until she becomes a mom and realizes that I am just doing what I think is best for her well being.Right, sis. Maybe they just see Luv2write as a level-headed child. Maybe even parents need to be understood sometimes. Just look at the whole picture and maybe you'll understand more what really is happening to the family.
After all, you are their child and parents love their children.
