[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, our culture is similar in that kids and whole families are invited to events or no one in the family at all. I twas absolutely rude of your neighbor to exclude one member of the family. I would have understood if it was an adults only function, but obviously it isn't.

Your plan to go and have dh stay with dd is a good one. Your dh has no obligation to go if he doesn't want to.[/quote]

You are so missing the point-- it IS an adults-only function!  Just in a culture/religion that defines "adult" differently than yours might. I am shocked by how little slack people on here are willing to cut these neighbors for doing things in a way that is accepted in their cultural group.  I really thought the women on here are usually a bit more sophisticated about these things but I guess who knows.

Even if you think it is rude, that is not a good reason to be rude back.   If you decide not to go, OP, don't be passive aggressive and say well DH has to watch the 9-year-old so no. The kid is 9 for goodness sake, that's an obvious dig about her not being invited. It's not about "standing up for your child," because nobody did anything personal to your child. Just very graciously say you are sad to miss it but you've already made plans you can't break.   No harm no foul. [/quote]
