You're father is exactly a gentleman himself. Sounds like they are birds of a feather.
It's good that you're civil towards her, you can't make the dinner, you have other plans.
Funny you mention that because my friend said the same thing. Perhaps their dysfunctions makes them the perfect match. Probably why he couldn't handle my mom. My mother is the complete opposite of that, classy, drama free, logical, objective and very amazing to be around.
Hmmm... Sounds like it's going to be a likely chance for a crappy Jan. 1st dinner. You've mentioned you're wanting to go because of a cousin? Maybe make arrangement to see this cousin earlier in the day?
No it's okay, because it's only going to be my uncle, cousin, older sister, dad and his GF. Aside from his GF whom we are not fighting with or anything like that, we are all at peace in that group. So it should be fine.
I am fine. My mother's side of the family we are so stable, close and supportive of each other. That family rocks. My dad's side is where there are issues. When you marry so many times, have children from different marriages, all raised differently, and then introduce unstable girfriends into the mix, it's a reciepe for disaster. On top of that my dad loves sweeping things under the rug so everything festers.

Like I said, SO many problems.
It's hard to escape the shrapnel of a same-gender role model like that who brings so much dysfunction into the family.
You don't seem like a brat to me. Both your father and his GF sound like very shallow, annoying, manipulative people and I don't blame you for not wanting to partake in their bullsh*t.
I come from a very blunt family where we admit when parts of our family are annoying us and we address it with them. We don't "suck it up and be nice because we're adults", we actually address the problems we have with people. I don't see anything wrong with what you did.
