I am a little upset with my family

I would think they would try to find something that all of you can do together...just so you don't feel left out. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

Maybe they do not realize it and you can speak up about it. Just say, I know how much you guys enjoy going to the Wild Waters Park. But I have been feeling left out, the last two times you have gone. I was wondering if this time we could do something that would include me. If not this time, then maybe something in the near future. Whatever they decide, let them know that you are really looking forward to it. If they decide to go anyway, let them know that you are disappointed. This is how you truly feel, so let them know.

Believe me I know how you feel.I have some handicapps and when there are things that I can't do because of them my mom think's Iam being stupid and lazy.My sister has fibromilaga and when she can't do something then my mom is sympathetic with her and cannot fathom how anyone can expect her to do whatever the task is.When there is something being done that I can't handle,then Iam being silly.But,if my sister has a problem with it then we can't do that or if it is something that she does not like.You family has done this activity for 3 weeks now,they could of skipped it this week and done something that you can do to.I mean alternate activities.

wow! I understand your feeling Shaun and if it happens to me, i will ask them to choose another place where I can join and be with them. Have you tried? Maybe they were thinking you are not interested to go out at all...Anyway, I will not blame you for feeling that way!

Shaun I understand how you feel - I really do! I know that your mother and sister probably think that it might be too much for you to go along and don't want to upset you by asking but it is always hard when you aren't invited along - even though you understand why! Maybe you could've gone and taken it easy - would it really have hurt them to slow down a little if they had already been the previous 2 weeks? I would say that if I were you I would let them know how you felt - they won't be able to change things next time if they don't know there is a problem! Hugs xxx

I think your family is just being over protective. It happened to me I was pregnant that they don't want me to go swimming even if my OB-Gyne had given me the signal to do some activities and always take necessary precautions. I think you should make them realize that your presence in the family activity should be appreciaed, even if you don;t have to swim. You can just sit down and talk with them if they don't want you to take a swim or dip in the water. There are other ways to enjoy though some tends not to invite you or ask you to join to avoid getting envious to those who will be swimming.

don't be too upset. im sure they are not planning anything against you. i feel sometimes it happens too, like my brother being the outcast cause my mom are usually talking to my younger brother.. and that is happening because he talks so reduly at times... your family is thinking about your health too. and please do not think they dont want you to go with them, etc... its just that you are not able to join them.

I understand where you are coming from as I am sure it hurt your feelings that they didn't think of something that everyone could participate in doing especially since it is a Holiday Weekend. Though I am sure that it wasn't their intention to make you feel left out. They just didn't think it through and maybe you might have to suggest the next time they ask you for a suggestion of what to do for the next holiday!

I can see what you are saying. Seeing that it is a holiday and families like to be together they should bea little bit more considerate and do something that everyone can do. But maybe they think that you would n't mind, and it might not be as big of an ordeal if they could sit down and talk with you about it to make plans before they went ahead and made them without you. That way they would be courteous thinking of your feelings, and maybe youwould have told them to go ahead and do it without you cuz you understand that sometimes that might need to do things like that.

Aw, I can see where this would make you feel bad. Maybe you can mention to them that you would like to go with them some time. I am sure there are plenty of places to sit and you can enjoy watching the kids even if you are not up to the activities there. Make it clear that you want to do things with them. They may not realize they are making you feel excluded. If you are looking for them to pick another activity altogether, maybe you should plan something for next time, before they have a chance to say they are going to the water park again. Maybe a sporting event you can all go to, or a picnic, or a movie or show, or whatever interests you. I hope you work things out with your family so that you do not end up holding it against them. Talk to them and make sure they know you want to participate in activities with them as much as possible. :)
