[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where’s the wedding?
It’s not rude to decline if they say no kids. [/quote]

It is [b]not[/b] rude to decline. Period. Even if the wedding invitation included kids.

An invitation is not a summons, people.

This is the DH's cousin. Unless he and cousin are super close and have a ton of shared history, up to now, not just when they were kids -- it is fine to miss a cousin's wedding. Even if DH's parents and aunt/uncle (the cousin's parents) think everyone "must" be there. FFS, go to weddings [i]because you want to be there for that couple[/i], not because you fear it's "rude" to say no when you have other plans.

OP, you and DH need to get onto the same page and say consistently that you already had travel plans for that weekend, before the invitation came. Having other plans (even tentative ones!) is perfectly legit. Send a great wedding gift and wish them the best. Then go enjoy your time with your own kids. Don't let the whole "It's a wedding, it's FAMILY, you MUST gooooo or the world ends" crap affect you. [/quote]
