[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brother is getting married. I am married with 2 kids (2yo and 1mo). We aren't particularly close, I don't have issues with him but I know he doesn't care for me much. He is getting married in two "parts":

1. Local courthouse wedding after which my parents are hosting and paying for a small dinner (~15 people) at a restaurant. Parents invited me then I said "great the 4 of us will be there". They said "oh actually kids aren't invited, please find an arrangement for them". With a 3mo old at the time that will need to breastfeed every 1-2hrs this isn't really realistic. I've asked if there's any flexibility for our infant and have not heard back. Nobody else in the group has kids under 18 let alone an infant so this seems quite targeted at us at my brother's behest. My parents have long had favoritism/pleasing this brother at all costs issues.

2. Destination wedding in Western Europe. Smaller wedding and also none of the guests have minor children. Very clear on the wedding website "THIS IS NOT A CHILD-FRIENDLY EVENT" in all caps. We will probably not go.

Am I right to be a little put off? Obviously it's 100% your right to have a child-free wedding but it just seems very targeted at us, and [b]I'm probably more disappointed my parents are going along with brother excluding his niece and nephew from both events.[/b]

Get a grip OP. Do you really think your 2 year old niece and 3 month old nephew aren’t invited because they’re not wanted or valued as a part of the family? They’re excluded because these are important adult celebrations - not suitable for diaper wearing spitters and shitters.

Your kids will see these family members for the holidays in a more casual setting later this year surely.[/quote]
