[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reality check:  A 14 year old who bails on a high school tournament, isn't going to see much playing time the rest of that year, unless he's a super star, which won't set him up with the skills to move up.  For my kid, making it varsity is a huge goal of his high school career.  He's not a star player, so he puts a lot of effort into that goal, and letting his team down on a major tournament would be a huge set back.

I know in this case, I'd let my kid choose, and be very surprised if he chose a wedding over his sport. [/quote]Is this really what modern parenting is?

I was raised that family was actually importent. Had I, a 14 year old, decided trying to go varsity was more importent then a reletive's wedding, my dad would whoop my ass.

OP: the fact your sister is letting her son bail shows just how much she cares about you and your wedding. Use it to decide whether her and family will be invited to other family events.[/quote]

Oh yea, nephew does not come so her sister does not care about her.
How asinine is that??!
Stuff happens everyone cannot come to every family member's event.
Some of you are truly exacting about what is acceptable .
Geez calm down.. Sister is coming 
Try being happy about that[/quote]

Honestly, as PP, if someone decided that some damn soccer match was more important then my wedding, I would be greatly offended.[/quote]
