I’m Angry Mothers Day Present

Last week my brother and his fiancé suggested that we get my mother a gift card from the photographer that they used for engagement photos. His fiancé said no worries if we don’t want to. So my other brother replied yes. I didn’t reply back. My brother called me about it. He ask if I would do it. I said no. But he said you want to make your mother happy right. I said I don’t know. She been wanting this a longtime. Anyways he kept talking to guilty me. I was honestly was pissed off. I said I would do my own gift. He said then you can do both. I was so close to saying something that I would regret. So I said okay. It’s going to cost each of us (4) $ 70 each. I can already predict what’s going to happen. There is going to be fighting. The last time we tried to do this no one could agree on anything. I dislike having to dress up matching like my family. I hate feeling forced into. If I declined I probably be disowned. Anyways tonight he gave mother the gift she liked it. He face time us but I didn’t answer as I was watching a movie. My other brother went upstairs pissed I didn’t answer. I didn’t want them to face time.She ask everyone about it. Everybody could tell I was pissed. Guess I’ll have to suck it up but if this ends up in a huge fight. I’m going to say I told u all so.
You're not standing up for yourself and you are not great at communicating. Of course someone is going to be pissed when you don't communicate what you want or don't want without them chasing you down.
Why not tell them you dont want to take part in their group gifts, and leave it at that. not at the moment someone is trying to get shit done, but now - or next week. when its not disrupting someone else's plan that they think you should just take part in as a sibling.
