[quote=Anonymous]I guess I'll be the odd man out and say I think you're being a drama queen. Not everyone gets invited to the baptism mass - sometimes it's just the mother, father, grandparents, and godparents. If you're not a godparent, perhaps you weren't invited because you, and all the other non-godparents, weren't supposed to be and you just put everyone in an awkward situation by forcing yourself onto the invite list. You probably took it as personal when it wasn't about you. Now your SIL has to go around and invite all the other aunts, uncles, and cousins to the mass as well, even though it was initially supposed to be a small, intimate mass with a party after. You were invited to the party and that's where your presence is most appropriate.

Maybe the other things you feel you're excluded from are events you don't really belong at anyway. You'd probably have a better relationship with your SIL if you didn't always assume it's about you - it most likely isn't. She's not excluding you from her life - she's inviting you to the events that she thinks of as open to the extended family. Sure, your her husband's sister but that doesn't mean you belong at every single event they have for their kids. [/quote]
