so for my 18th my half brother invited me and my sister for a 3 day trip to paris with his family (live in England not such as big deal as from the states) however i dont really want to spend 3 days with his family as not such a fan of wife or kids, my sister in the same boat. he wants to go to museums and such (nothing which appeals to me) however me and my brother are pretty close and dont want to ruin our relationship because of this. any suggestions

I would go. Even if the events don't seem very appealing to you you might end up having a lot more fun than you think.

i think you'll probably end up having a lot more fun than you think. make the most of it. plus, some day you might look back on this and kick yourself for not taking advantage of the opportunity.

It's family man you kinda have to do it. Since it's your bro who invited you guys he will definitely try to make it fun for you so just try to make the most out of this opportunity.

Then you need to grow up.

I agree with everyone else in that you likely will,have more fun than you actually think. You've got such a negative attitude about it that its not easy for you to see any positives.

Its an opportunity that not everyone gets, so I suggest you go.

Shit, when I was 12 my mom made me go on my brothers boy scout trip to Puerto Rico because I probably wasn't going to get a chance like that ever again. I was a young girl going with a bunch of asshole 14 year olds.

I ended up having a fucking blast. And learned a lot. Despite the fact that I was stuck with a bunch of douchebags I didn't wanna be around. I still had my brothers.

Paris is fucking awesome. Go and you'll have a good time.

Do you have any idea of where you would be staying in Paris?

Whaaaaaaa poor you. You have to go to Paris with your family. C'mon bro it won't be that bad. I'll probably never take another vacation again until College spring break( don't really mind though, perfectly content skiing).

Exactly, it's only three days. I think you'll have more fun than you think.

Wow now that I think about it, doubly using the word "think" sounds incredibly stupid...kinda ironic.

Listen to Ashley. She's right.

Family obligations come up, you have to just put a smile on your face and get through it even if you don't really want to. Don't be a brat about it. Plus everyone's right, if you don't go into it with a piss-poor attitude you'll probably have at least a little fun. And even if you hate every second of it, it's only 3 days. 72 hours. That's nothing.
