[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- I feel like people are missing the important point that we were excluded supposedly due to our family size. For friends who are family to do that, [b]it’s like my mom saying that we have too many kids to host us for Christmas[/b] or something. It just makes it a stark message of being criticized and suddenly unwelcome. [/quote] Ummmm, this definitely happens. My sister and I each have 3 kids, my brother is a childless bachelor, and my mom lives in a one-bedroom condo. Mom has asked us girls -- insisted, even -- that we alternate Christmases at her place because 12 people for dinner in the condo is too much for her to handle. But guess who always attends? The brother, because he's a party of one. My mother is elderly, and the host, so we gracefully defer to her wishes without making it a federal case rather than complaining that she isn't putting herself out so we can stuff our faces on her dime.[/quote]
