For all we know he might not enjoy company of this nephew and jumped to the opportunity to not see him. 🤣🤣🤣
I have a couple of distant relatives whom I cannot stand but they are often invited to my extended family’s gatherings. I am always happy to have any excuse to not see them. Yes I’d be happy to go to work instead. I’d hate people labeling someone as inconsiderate if I agreed to work instead. One time I was happy I had covid and was skipping seeing these awful people. Yes I’d rather be sick. I later realized I sounded awfully jolly when I announced on a group text chain that I have covid and won’t be there. Oops. Lol
Bottom line, many things are just no one’s business.
