Okay, now I'm annoyed.

I just a message from my brother--because it's expected to "pour" today, he and Jared don't want the kids (they're 8 and 11, I think) to be out in it. So he wants to eat somewhere around Penn Station "and you guys can take a cab down there." I really get annoyed when I have to cater to kids when this is mostly adults. I love kids but when I was one, my parents almost never catered to me--it's an adult world and I learned that quickly. Bart and Jared can take a cab just as easily, and I don't particularly want to be in the rain either. This whole thing is getting way too complicated, and needlessly so--kids are resilient and can adapt. I don't want to eat at some crappy tourist place in Penn Station, I want to have an adult meal with other adults, and kids who are capable of absorbing an atmosphere other than that of Chuck E. Cheese.

Bart originally wanted us to come to Long Island--again. No. I love my brother but he can be mindblowingly self-centered sometimes.

Sounds like what happens when my parents, my brother and his family converge on me. Gets way too complicated and stressful when it's suppossed to be a pleasant get together.
