[quote=Anonymous] I would write an email to the group thanking them for thinking of you. This is very important, even if you believe that your birthday is just an excuse for them to get together. I would continue by telling them plainly that you prefer some quiet nuclear family time. That you are surprised that they don't know this about you after all these years. And that one solution, if they agree, is for you to join them for a couple of days to enjoy their company, after your family time with your husband and children. That way they don't need to cancel their bookings, everyone still sees each other, and you get your OWN time. I'm an introvert and I would be offended they booked without consulting me. But you can't just say that, OP. It's not goo for your long-term relationship. You have to propose a way out of this. [/quote]
