[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. First of all, I left cousin a message that we are disappointed but understand and if she changes her mind I suggested a place to stay away from downtown but don’t expect a change in heart.

For context this cousin was my maid of honor and godparent to DD. Yes it’s “just” a HS graduation but DD is an only child so we don’t ask a lot from family. This is a party for family and close friends at our house. We decided to do it because we want DD to see the support she has and appreciate her accomplishment before moving forward to college. Not a “money grab.” Please, can’t we celebrate our children without questioning motives?[/quote]

My advice to you is to focus on the whole picture rather than setting expectations for individual events like this.  The person I was MOH for couldn't make my wedding.  We're still best friends two decades later.  Teaching your kid to focus on whole relationships instead of viewing individual events as a test is a much healthier mindset.[/quote]
