[quote=Anonymous]It's in 3 weeks. For a cousin I am not close to. It's 12 hours away, and we cannot afford airfare so we will be driving. I had doubts about going, but I allowed myself to be guilted into it by my mom and dad. Plus, it will probably be one of the very few chances to see my extended family. But so short of a trip!

It's on a weekend sandwiched between multiple school events and an important exam I will be taking.
DH has work obligations so he cannot come. In fact, he is out of town, and the kids will miss seeing him that weekend if we go to the wedding.
We will be missing multiple events, including DS's recital, if we go to the wedding.
Even driving costs money, and we really wanted to save travel $$ for when DH has time off later in the summer.

The only thing is that my mother has already bought airline tickets to arrive here and help me drive the 12+ hours. She was planning on driving back here with me and flying back. She was going to watch DD for my exam, but I can find someone else if needed.
I'm thinking of cancelling, and I know I need to decide soon. Maybe I can give my mom some money to change her tickets? She will come sooner or later anyway.
Would I be really terrible if I decided not to go?[/quote]
