[quote=Anonymous]OP you sound gracious. I feel sorry for your nephew actually. I am definitely reading between the lines here so maybe I'm totally off-base, but it sounds to me like there's a bit of favoritism going on with your niece and if that's going on, he's going to pick the tournament even if he feels bad about it because it's a chance for him to feel important compared to his sister. You could really have a positive impact on his life by reaching out to him and explaining that you understand and basically affirming you think he's important, and that's why you wanted him at the wedding, but you understand the importance of his tournament or whatever. He probably won't react with much grace at 14, but I bet years later you'd hear about how much it meant to him. Again maybe reading too much between the lines but it sounds to me like he may be used to getting forgotten like that. [/quote]
