i know my xv will be a fail

for context, my family is planning my quinceañera to happen when we arrive in mexico, just like we do every year. while my xv will be on the 30th of december, my actual birthday is the 19th of august.

my mother and i have planned my mass a year in advance to the 30th to have it for sure. this church is in high demand because it is very beautiful. my grandparents were married there. because my guest list is very secluded, the church is the perfect size. after we had planned it, i had overheard my mother stressing about keeping the date. maybe she had told me that we reserved it to stop me from worrying because she knows that that was my dream church. i heard that there was another quinceañera fighting to take the reservation for herself, but she also lives in the united states and would have to return with the paperwork to reserve. i have already been baptised, taken my first communion, and completed my confirmation. i’m unsure if my mother stated whether she did or didn’t already submit my paperwork. the story keeps changing.

not only that, but i’m sure that the surrounding days won’t be calm, either. my cousin’s quince is in the same week for sure, but the date has not been found yet. that cousin not only holds a lifelong hostility towards me, but openly laughed at my sister when she announced that she wanted to be a teacher when she grew up instead of wanting at least 8 children (yes, exactly 8) and becoming a stay-at-home wife like she does. after that is christmas, and after my quince is new years. what concerns me the most, though, is that my aunt’s birthday is the very day of my quinceañera, which was only discovered two weeks after reserving the mass. this is horrible. she became an aunt by marriage. her stepchildren are neglected so much that they litter their vapes ON MY GRANDMOTHER’S SOIL. AT HER HOUSE. 

not only that, but that aunt just so happened to give birth to “the miracle baby” (which is what i say because nobody wants to tell me her name). she is morbidly obese. i include this information because if not for that, the doctor would not have stated directly that she will not have children. miracle baby. by the time my quinceañera arrives, the baby will be a year and a half old. there is a 100% chance the baby will be brought, non-debatable. i’ve seen this before. the people at the party will focus more on the baby than the subject of the party, which will defeat the entire purpose of having it. i saw this when i came two months ago and saw my other aunt passing around another newborn like marijuana. she announced to the entire house that she wanted everyone to hold him. the baby vomited on me. please remember that these women are 40-50 years old. they should not be having children.

i will probably post a follow-up post about the rest of this party that concerns me, but these were the immediate issues. please give me advice. thank you.
