My Brother Planned To Host A Pool Party At My House But Didn’t Tell Me. When I Heard, I Did Something He Never Saw Coming
The Unexpected Pool Party

My brother has always acted like the world owes him something—but this time, he really crossed the line.
Without asking, without even texting, he decided to throw a full-blown pool party at my house while I was working from home.
I didn’t even hear it from him—my mom let it slip that he planned to show up with his daughters, their boyfriends, my sister, and a swarm of nieces and nephews.
All without a single word to me. Normally, I wouldn’t mind someone using the pool if they had the decency to ask first.
But when he pulled into my driveway the next day with the whole crew in tow, they were in for a surprise they didn’t see coming….
Mom's Suspicious Call

While I was sipping my morning coffee, my phone buzzed. It was Mom. She sounded all chirpy, which wasn’t normal for her this early. “
Oh, Kyle's so excited for tomorrow!” she said, trying too hard to sound casual. My interest piqued, and I knew something was up.
Why was Kyle excited? And what was happening tomorrow? I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was out of the loop on something rather important.
Something didn't add up.
Coffee Disrupted By News

Setting my coffee cup down, I frowned at the computer screen, trying to process what Mom just said. “Pool party at your house,”
she mentioned offhandedly. Hearing this, I couldn’t focus back on work anymore. My peaceful workday from home was suddenly filled with thoughts of uninvited guests.
How did Kyle think hosting a party without telling me would end well? I couldn't believe my ears and kept replaying her words in my head.
Clarification Needed

“Wait, what pool party?” I asked, blinking hard as if trying to clear an illusion. My disbelief was met with Mom’s dismissive reply: “
Just a little family thing.” Her words carried a hint of guilt, like she was keeping a secret. Mom had been in on it, too.
She brushed it off as something minor, yet the urge to get more details was driving me. I needed to know exactly what was planned at my own house.
Feeling of Isolation

I shook my head in frustration. Not a single message, not a call, nothing. Kyle just assumed I'd be okay with a party.
My brain was fried from work, desperately needing peace and quiet. Yet the one place I should have been able to count on for quiet had become the center of chaos without my consent.
The ease at which my family planned things without me left me feeling more like an outsider than ever.
