[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP referred to her kids and grandkids meaning either OP has adult children and grandkids or OP is a childless aunt who refers to other peoples kids as her own. The is little chance the niece is going to all of sudden decide to engage with adult cousins that she has never liked.

It doesn’t sound like there is anything wrong with the niece. She just doesn’t like the OP. OP is clearly a busybody as she gets fed up with niece not playing into her extended family hallmark idea. OP getting offended that she isn’t invited to nieces events is pretty entitled.

It’s pretty common not to like one side of the family or not enjoy being around extended relatives. These aren’t people that you necessarily have anything in common with and you didn’t choose them. It’s a forced relationship which many people don’t enjoy. For most, it’s about tolerating it but if you are really smart you have to ask yourself why? Why spend time being fake and pretending to like people you don’t want to be around. Why give up your holidays and vacations to spend it with a bunch of bozos?

Plus if one of the extended relatives is the in your face type like OP it’s also not uncommon to just avoid the pack. [/quote]
