[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Op stated very clearly that she and older sister DON’T want sister number 3 to come. I.e they WANT to EXCLUDE her.[/b]  Yes that is extremely hurtful.

It would be less hurtful to say we want this trip to be for older kids/adults - you are welcome to come without young kids. Ok understandable. And sister will probably refuse given she is unlikely to leave 5 month old.

It’s hard for me to understand though how OP can claim to be close to her sister and that an honest conversation cannot take place e.g. we planned this adult/older kid ski vabcation a long time. It’s not going to be appropriate for your young kids. However we have a little extra space and think it would be a nice wedding gift for baby sister. However we don’t want you to feel excluded or hurt if we invite her.  We are assuming you wouldn’t want to come without your little ones.  Or something like that. Not sure why there can’t be honest communication about this dilemma. [/quote]

But not because they don’t love her. Because this trip and her family circumstances are incompatible. If the sister is rational and emotionally mature, she should understand this. Clearly there are a lot of people who operate solely from a place of emotion rather than logic, though.
