[quote=Anonymous][quote=Crew][quote=Anonymous]Don't think you did anything wrong for the birthday, and wonder if you are reading too much into the brother's text.  Sounds like he didn't realize that you had included family in other events around the occasion.  Once you explained, was it actually an issue any longer?  I don't understand why you are a little pissed.[/quote]

I'm disappointed that he chose to bring it up as an issue. He was aware of the brunch invite. I did speak privately to the nieces and they seemed fine with everything. It's possible it was just her brother's way of letting me know he was upset but blamed it on the girls.  
As for too many celebrations, it is a part of their culture that we celebrate all events like this. 
I am always included by the family in any event and treated very well by them, overall. Brother can be a little moody and I generally just overlook it. 
However, his comments took some of the pleasure out of the dinner for me. Btw, dinner turned out great and, once there, I had a good time. My GF knows none of this.  [/quote]

OK, but...what's the actual issue? So he grumbled a bit. And? So what? So long as he didn't call up your girlfriend and complain, or leave a flaming bag of poo on your doorstep, what's the problem? You were entitled to plan the events and invite who you wanted, he's entitled to feel a feel about how it all went down. Life goes on.[/quote]
