My Easter weekend was great overall... got to visit with my Grandpa and Grandma from my Mom's side, got to see my brother Joe and he got to meet Collin, and it was great seeing and visiting with all my extended family (Aunts, Uncles and Cousins) which just doesn't seem to happen often enough. We got a bunch of family pictures taken also which will be probably sent out to us in a week or so (my Aunty Carla's sister took them). I didn't take any pictures while I was there... I was too busy visiting. (Jenny, I know Dad got some pics. Ask him to upload them to Flickr for you to see too! You will barely recognize Aunty Marg!!!)
All in all it was a great time, except for Collin... He is soo shy
until he starts drinking. He definitely had a LOT too much to drink and he started to act like a complete DICK! He made me pretty upset and we left the party at midnight because he started to get mad that everyome was drinking his diet Coke. (Yeah, pathetic reason to get mad at people you barely know!) So since he was being such a loser I decided to remove him from the scene. I was mad at him because, and I told Collin, "I barely ever get to see these people, and they are my FAMILY! If you have a problem with them, then you have a problem with me!!!" (I'm not sure I'm totally over it yet either.) I just don't understand why he would say some of the things he said, drunk or not!
The next morning he apologized and told me the next time we visit with my family he won't drink. (I think that will be best for everyone involved!)
I hope this is not a
red flag that I'm dismissing as a one-time occurence.
What do you think? Is this something that I should make a bigger deal of or was he drinking because he felt uncomfortable around all the strangers?
