My youngest brother and his girlfriend have no interest in socializing with the rest of us. I think that is mostly Austria's doing, but I can't be sure.
Nashville wants nothing to do with any of the drama going on. She is used to a much smaller vacation consisting of her and her mother; not 9+ people.
Last night, I was already on edge after dealing with the tangible stress in the air when my family is all in one place and I snapped. In hindsight, it was foolish and should not have happened, but my father pushes my buttons until they shatter. My husband and I should have gotten our own rental car and then we would have more freedom. However, I have learned that being on the schedule of my parents slows me an agonizing speed.
The eldest of my brothers has tried to help by lending us the car, but there is only so much to be done. I am still unsure yet if we will use it. I think if we could just go somewhere, anywhere, just the two of us, it would greatly improve the situation for my husband and I.
I love my parents dearly, but they move so slowly and are so indecisive that I just have to dig deep and gather my patience in order to get through this week and make sure it is still both enjoyable and relaxing. More later...
