[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think traveling with 5yr old twins is a good excuse not to go.  It's not the same as traveling with babies or toddlers.

In fact, the next time you take your family on vacation, it's going to draw equal comparisons in their minds.

I also don't think it is fair for them to expect you to lay out so much money to travel to a destination wedding, but again the next time you go on vacation they're going to wonder how come you can afford to travel to X and not to your own sister's wedding?

I'd really look at your finances and see if you're not being stubborn.  If you travel as a family, you can make a longer trip out of it and maybe your family can help with some babysitting so you and your DH can have some time to yourselves.

If you make a big fight out of it, [b]you are going to cause bad blood.[/b]  See if you can avoid that.[/quote]

No, the OP is not causing anything.  She is making a perfectly reasonable determination that her children should stay home.  If there is any "bad blood", then that is a CHOICE that her sister will make.  Just like having a destination wedding that will cost your guests thousands of dollars is a CHOICE.

I just can't even.[/quote]
