He considers her part of the family. You cannot have a family vacation and exclude part of the family.
What you might be able to get away with is arrange a getaway for just you and your dad (w/o spouses, kids, or sister). But if you invite everyone else, you have to invite the girlfriend too. |
| Invite your dad. Tell him no one likes the GF. He already knows |

If she’s just a girlfriend, tell him it’s just a family trip. This only works if you don’t invite anyone else’s temporary love interest.
I have a cousin who is a serial dater, and her parade of annual flavors is almost as annoying as the random church hangers-on that invite themselves to my parents’ house three times a year for various holidays. If your dad makes drama about your family only travel, then he doesn’t have to attend even if he is invited. It’s his choice. |
Ugh. You sound like a really selfish people with terrible manners. It’s nice of your parents to include the church goers who doesn’t have anywhere to go for the holidays. Spend a few minutes being a nice person and making their holiday less bleak by chatting with them And if the rest of the family is like you, perhaps that’s why people don’t want to marry your cousin. Adults absolutely should have the “right” to bring “just” their girlfriends to holiday dinners. |
| It's Dad's choice. IF Dad would like to go on a family trip without his GF, all is ok. All that is most important, is ok. He decides without pressure from any of his kids. |
