Tired of being the "odd man out" at family gatherings.

Just say I have to work or that you are helping out a friend or have other plans, That always works when me and my husband don't want to do something or go some where or even get off the phone, say oh no i got to get off the phone i think my dinner might be burning, Well Good Luck and remember you don't owe these people anything I've cut ties with lots of my family members they are out for themselves and use anyone that crosses their paths.
