Just have to get this off my chest!
I just spoke to my cousin whom I am taking to WDW (next week - yay!) who said that her brother's girlfriend is mad at her and was "talking trash" behind her back to the rest of her family and friends.
The reason you ask.....
I have planned 3 character breakfasts and 2 Halloween parties for the time we are there (the character breakfasts are for my cousin but the halloween parties are for me - it's my favourite holiday!). And the girlfriend's mom (who is paying for her to go) isn't going to the Halloween party and they aren't doing any character breakfasts. She says it's not fair because she has a child and isn't getting to do any of those things so my cousin shouldn't be doing them either. Also, we are staying at a deluxe resort and they are staying at a value.
A little background - my cousin at the tender age of 11 was diagnosed with scoliosis, worse yet a DOUBLE curvature of the spine - the rate of curve was almost 100% - she had to have surgery and her and her parents were at our house constantly up until that time and her mom stayed with us for a time while my cousin was in the hospital. For whatever reason, my cousin looks up to me (she says I'm practically the smartest person she knows). We have been fairly close ever since (I also took her to stay in her first hotel room when she was 13 and for three years in a row she spent two weeks at my house every summer while she had to undergo some tests to ensure that the rods in her back were okay and that her spine has healed properly).
None of her family graduated from high school, and despite the medical problems she's had, she graduated from high school this year and wants to become a nurse. She wrote me a letter to tell me that it is because of me that she stuck with school (I admit, I always threatened that if she didn't graduate from high school I would tear a strip from her!) and she was very thankful to have me in her life.
My cousin was supposed to go to Florida (ironically a join trip between her family and mine) but once she had been diagnosed everything was put off and never got replanned. She was supposed to go to Mexico with some friends as a "graduation trip" but basically everyone dropped out because of either the money or not wanting to go that far from home.
I know that I have a lot in my life and I like to share with the people I care about. I don't rub it in anyone's face (and the reason the girlfriend found out about everything is because my cousin has already started a book with everything - including our plans and menus - that I have sent to her).
Can't people just enjoy the magic they are getting and not worry about what other people have??
Sorry - rant over.
