[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Manage your expectations. Yes, they should be polite and welcoming. (Isn't SIL inviting you being polite and welcoming, though?) They don't need to not have pictures of a family member up--yes, DH's ex-wife is and will always be family, she's the mother of their grandchildren/nieces/nephews! And of course they're going to treat your adult or nearly-grown children differently--it's a different relationship than blood grandchildren/nieces/nephews! [/quote]

An invite isn't necessarily meant as a polite and welcoming gesture.[/quote]

Op here I am pretty sure I am only invited out of feelings of obligation. We had a small immediate family only wedding, she came and refused to talk to me and the card was addressed only to my husband. I saw them at my MIL at Easter and she did not talk to me and rolled her eyes when my MIL asked if something was safe for my son to eat. 
My DH knows how I feel. My children do not have any contact with their biological father. So they have to go where I go (except my oldest who said she doesn't want to go but will come along for moral support)[/quote]
