How did you accomplish that?

My mom decided that we would go out and see Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb on Christmas Eve as a family.  She neglected to make any mention of it in any form to me or my brother until yesterday, and when I said that I didn’t want to go, that neither of us wanted to see that movie, that there were other movies that we could see instead that perhaps everyone would like, we were met with “too bad, you’re going.”

I made vocal my disapproval of these plans today after I got home from work, and was met with repeated “too bad, you’re going.”  After going to the movie, again after suggesting alternatives and telling my parents repeatedly that there are better alternatives I said that I didn’t like the movie, which I don’t.  I was then told that I’m ungrateful and must think I’m the center of the universe while mom was supposedly ‘in tears’ in another room.

I am so sorry that I don’t like a movie from a franchise I don’t care for that I’m being made to see without being asked, counseled or queried, and make my opinion known on said movie as I do with most movies I see whether I like them or not.  I’m so sorry that I don’t want to take part in a 'family’ activity for which I never had any input on whatsoever, and was shut down on when suggesting alternatives.  Truly I am such a terrible person and should feel bad about myself.

Best part?  I’m supposed to go an spend Christmas with extended family tomorrow, which means 3 hours in the car alone with my immediate family down and back, and my mom and dad turning extended family against me more likely than not.
