[quote=Anonymous]This is what being married means. Holidays & vacation with the "family" are not made up of the group you grew up thinking of as family. It includes more people, namely the people who've been added to your family through marriage. Your brother got married. His wife had a family of her own before joining yours. Her family will likely attend many of "your" family's functions, because she and her family are now part of yours. I get why you're bummed, but what you feel like you'll be missing out on doesn't exist anymore. You might be able to capture a few moments here & there of what you would like "family-only" events to look like, but that's the exception - not the norm. You can grieve the loss of your childhood family, but please do so before the big family vacation that's coming up. It's not fair to your SIL, her parents, or your brother, for you to be sulking about this when they've decided to spend their limited vacation time & money to be with you. [/quote]
