[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have RSVP'd no to start with, but now just go, be pleasant, and stay away from her. I'm a bitch, so I'd attend EACH wedding event next week. :)

But for god's sake woman, stop agreeing to these things! [/quote]

OP here -- LOL -- not inviting myself for EVERY event when she doesn't even want me at the vows. For those who ask why I don't just RSVP no - it isn't like a normal person to whom you RSVP no and life goes on. She will call, whine, get teary and go on about how long she has known you and how much she cares. You then feel bad for making a 60+ yr old woman cry and feel guilted into saying yes. Then it's like once she has "secured" your attendance, she feels free to treat you like dirt. It's not like this happens yearly -- there is a life cycle event once every 3-5 yrs and clearly I forget in between how bad the behavior will be, I give her the benefit of the doubt, don't want her in an awkward spot with my parents, think she surely must have mellowed/changed, feel bad that her DH has passed away and maybe she is thinking back to the people who were important to both of them back in the day etc.

I really like the idea of saying "so you don't want us to come" just to see what she says/put her on the spot.[/quote]
