[quote=Anonymous]Do you actually know if your brother called to complain to your father?  Because your Dad may have asked him what his plans were for the holidays and he may have told your Dad what was going on as an explanantion, not a complaint.  Dad, in response, and of his own volition, may have taken on his Dad role again and tried to get you back in line.

If you don’t like hosting your brother, or the holidays for your family, you need to bring it up in the summer and tell your family it’s a problem for you.  And then the whole family needs to come up with new ideas and choose one that works for everyone, or decide together to discontinue the extended family celebration.  Don’t wait until the last minute and then blow up the family tradition or you will be considered the difficult one.

It would have been wiser to have taken the family holiday celebration and your daughter’s delicate temperament into consideration when you were making your long vacation plans. Not sure why you’re so surprised by it all now.
