My dad (49) just pushed back Christmas for two whole weeks because his girlfriend’s (48) grandchildren (5, 2) are sick. I (19) am extremely upset over this because I already had plans set up and look forward to spending the actual holiday Eve/day with my family. What to do?

Did you even read my post? What the fuck? Lol, my dad’s girlfriend’s grandchildren do not feel good. They live 45 minutes away. Everybody else in the household feels well and are healthy. They do not live in the same house. I have spoken to my dad about this and he has explained his feelings about the topic and hearing it feom him through actually calling me clarified much more than just recieving a quick 10 worded text. I told him how I felt about missing Christmas and not celebrating it on the actual holiday days because this has never been done before in my family and he understood that I was hurt and upset. Everybody is on the same page now and it is Okay. I have accepted that it will now be on Jan 7th, and that the kids need to be okay first. However the main point of my post was that my dad knew a few days in advance that they were cancellin however he decided that instead of telling me before I booked the hotel room (which we spoke about even yesterday) and setting up other plans to just tell me instead today — a day before I was supposed to leave. Like for real, if you were to read my post and other comments you would see that this comment has been cleared up. As for my boyfriend, I also have spoken to him about it and explained to him that because I had set expectations that have been exactly the same for the last 19 years I of course would he upset. I admitted that I jumped the gun based off of my emotions and being hurt and instead of seeing the bigger picture and seeing that I could still celebrate with others. Hello, anybody would be super salty and do the same if their original plans that meant a lot to them fell through. I admitted I was wrong. And also, fuck me for feeling upset that almost 2 decades worth of family traditions out of my dad, brother and I were broken because of outside circumstances. Fuck me for being upset right? Get out of here.
