[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SIL is getting married next year (Spring) and just asked if DD (who will by 9 months old) will be a flower girl. Her fiance also asked DH to be a groomsman. Some background: SIL and I do not get a long. She has resented me for years for "stealing her brother away from the family". When we got married 5 years ago, I asked her to be a bridesmaid and she agreed, only to back out 3 months before the wedding. I am inclined to say no to the flower girl request since a 9 month old is obviously not walking herself down the aisle. I told DH it's up to him if he wants to be a groomsman-- we've met SIL's fiance all of 3 times in the year they've been together. Anyways, we're going to see DH's family this weekend for the holiday and I am pretty sure that SIL will be asking again. How do I say no without making her hate me even more? I just don't want my baby paraded down the aisle and find it rather silly to have a baby be a flower girl.[/quote]

If you were getting along great with the SIL, I 'd see nothing wrong with the "flower baby".  My friend's 14 m.o. toddler was our flower girl and her mom accompanied her to the aisle. She was adorable. Your SIL might be clueless about the developmental milestones, so explain to her that if your baby to be the flower girl, you'd have to accompany her down the aisle. [/quote]
