[quote=Anonymous]OP, why did you post in the first place? You know what your brother is like (dictating plans, uncompromising), you have this history with him. Your original post and the follow-up email you copied/pasted were both long-winded and formal. Tone is everything. In the future, don't be such a pushover (which it sounds like you've been in the past), be firm and CONCISE in saying "this doesn't work for me, but we can do this instead" and let the chips fall where they may. And your six year old daughter's sadness, while valid, can only sound like a lame reason to anyone but you.[/quote]
