[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]OP, if you want to increase the chances of your child having a good relationship with the cousins and rest of the family, here is what you do[/b]:

Go to the party. Have a great time. Smile. Say congratulations and best wishes. Do not say a WORD about your son being excluded.

Leave DH and son at home or son with a babysitter or DH and son come with you but do something else fun in town that night. Stay at the wedding hotel and maybe your son will hang with family casually. Explain matter of factly to son that sometimes at weddings kids are not invited and it's nothing personal.[/quote]

Nope.  After everything that OP has done for the nephew, she does not have a good relationship.  Which means that it is fruitless to be nice to them.  Skip the wedding, skip the gift. Send regrets.

That's it.  Maybe the better class of relatives will get the message and treat OP well going forward.  But if they all are trailer trash kind of people, she does not need to have a realtionship with them for the sake of her kid.  She is better off just saving all that money for her own child.

You sound like you wouldn't be any fun at a wedding anyway. Please, do, stay home. Nobody cares about some random aunty and her brat this much.[/quote]

Actually, we get invited to more weddings each year than the total number of weddings you will attend in your own lifetime - including your own and your parents.  So, stfu and go back to your basement.  Such a dysfunctional and trashy family culture! [/quote]

Do you have any idea how pathetic and sad you look lying to strangers about the number of weddings youre invited to? [/quote]
