How do I avoid visiting family in Scotland ?

Get a flight to Amsterdam and tell them you got on the wrong plane!

Just tell her you don't wanna go. Be frank about it, so that you don't have to make any more excuses in the future. Tell her why you don't like him so don't ask any more questions. If you have no guts to tell them, just say you don't have any money for the trip. So you will either stay home, or get a free vacation ride ;) Who knows, a miserable trip can turn into something exciting like, meeting a gorgeous scottish guy.

why dont you like your brother?

as much as you may dislike him hes still your brother and you should want to visit him family is always family no matter what as far as im concerned if you really don't want to visit them just tell then since you don't like them or him at least you shouldn't have a problem if anybody says anything unless you care for him but you're just being stubborn

I think it's time you tell your mom the truth - or try to work things out with your brother. Family is the most important thing, and through communication and understanding most differences can be worked out. If you don't want to work anything out with your brother, it's time to tell your mom that you don't want to visit him. Let her know how you feel about him and why. After that, she may not pressure you to go see him.

You don't say how old you are. There comes a time when honesty is the best policy, unless of course we are talking about me. I live in Scotland and my family live in England. I see them every 5 years or so. That'll do nicely.

Tell them you have no clothes, no suitcases, no money, no passport, nothing, you have absolutely nothing and just cannot think about visiting anyone. As them can they GIVE you all these things? Tell them you've been wanting to send them lists of what you need but you need stamps, envelopes, paper and pens too.

I have always wanted to go to Scotland and my disliking my brother or sister would not keep me away....suck it and go with your mom. One chance of a lifetime to make a Memory with your MOM.....Her time is precious.

If ye don lik it don' go tere

they wear kilts and throw phone polls and eat haggis

not my idea of fun

I kinda like the music and the fabrics though

Say you can't get the time off of work. If that doesn't work just tell her it's her who wants to visit and not you. If you are an adult she can't make you. If you are underage, you're going.

mmm tuf one mate just say your really busy for the rest of your life i think in this case honesty is not the best policy you dont want to hurt your mum
