Case Title:
a guys night out
Plaintiff Side:
My sister just doesn't seem to understand that I sometimes want to hang out with my friends without her around. We are close but see doesn't seem to get the point that there needs to be times where I'm just around my male friends. We've always been close, we are close in age (1 and a half years), and do things together all the time with mutual friends. She always seems to get upset and angry at me when I tell her that I'd rather her not hang out with us on a certain night. I've talked to a few of my buddies who've seen this and they seem to pretty much agree with me on this-she's being overly sensitive. I mean, I'm only talking about maybe 1 out of every 10 times that I'd rather just hang w/ my friends without her around. Normally, we have a good brother/sister relationship but this is starting to cause a problem.
Defendant Side:
John, who's my brother (we'll call him that) can be very cruel sometimes the way he delivers his message. Typically, he's pretty good about that stuff. He's not the most sensitive guy but I guess sometimes just speaks his mind without thinking. We do usually hang out a lot together and usually with a set of mutual friends. But, the problem is that we've always hung out together and with the same set of friends. So, why does he feel the need to exclude me at times? I do understand that at most times there is at least a couple other girls around in our group – and that when John doesn't want me to go it's usually just the guys....but....I am like just one of the guys and they're always telling me that. So, I don't understand what John's problem with this is.
Who's right?
