[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is 9.  He has several cousins scattered around the country, with three living in Texas.  My oldest nephew, who I am closest to, is getting married in June.  The wedding is 16+.  All the other cousins will be able to attend, except my son.  I have given this nephew a lot of financial support and gifts in the past - probably 15k over the last ten years.  Now, I don't even want to go to the wedding because my kid is the only one from my nephew's side of the family being excluded.  Plus, if we travel for the wedding, we would have to find a sitter in a city far from home while everyone we know in the city is at the wedding.

I may be more sensitive to this because my son is an only child and I had hoped he would have strong ties with his cousins, though they are all a bit older than him.  But now I want to just cut go no-contact with this nephew.

Am I overreacting?  Should we go to the wedding and pretend we aren't offended?  Should the value of the wedding gift reflect how upset I am?[/quote]

Presumably, the couple know the age of your son a in d chose not to make an exception.  Accept or don't attend.  Also, throwing up what you have done for someone and then expecting special treatment.[/quote]
