That’s rude.

I’ve been invited to
Adult only weddings by friends without kids. It doesn’t make me angry but sometimes I don’t go.
To be invited to a siblings wedding though, but my tween isn’t invited, that burns.

+1. The bride was awful for doing this.
It’s my 12-year-old daughter’s dream to attend a wedding. She would be devastated if a close family member were to get married and not invite her to the wedding.

Well that's that. It's her dream.

Is it also her dream to be a maid of honor?

As for weddings, we are arguing the same point.

It's kind of sad you think you're being entertaining or teaching lessons or whatever it is you think you're doing here.

I think you need to figure out how to handle things for yourself, and you'll be a lot happier.

Girl, it's not that deep. Go touch grass.

Hey, I'm not the one who can't keep up. Insulting other people doesn't make you any better. Get it together.

As you insult people. You're just the gift that keeps on giving.

We had a 2 year old and had never left him overnight and no childcare options. SIL tried to paint this as an amazing opportunity to take a child free 'vacation' (all her close friends also had kids) but we didn't end up going so her only sibling wasn't there.

Your husband didn’t go alone? When it’s a sibling and your only sibling and your child is 2 and the other parent can manage for a few days solo, not going is pretty aggressive. Did you encourage him to go? Did his sister go to your wedding?

DP but neither DH nor I would have encouraged or nagged the other person to go. 1K a night and a bunch of PTO to fly to a destination wedding
w/ o spouse and kids would be a no go for us at that time in our life. It’s insanely rude to assume your guests are going to sacrifice their family vacation time and budget because you want a destination wedding. If you want a destination wedding by all means have one but the obligations to attend completely change when you choose this path.

How much pto do you need for 1 night? You are just making excuses to be upset because they didn't invite your precious little toddler.

We’ve been told over and over that all brides (excuse me, 99.9%) are perfectly happy and never, ever rude when someone declines to attend their wedding for any reason whatsoever. But you seem to be very upset that someone chose not to use PTO to go to your wedding here. Oh dear. I guess you are a special one.

DP

It's not upsetting people decline the invitation. It's upsetting people making up disingenuous excuses for doing so.

Why lie about PTO and babysitters? Just say you are declining an invitation to an event that does not accommodate you in the special way you want to be accommodated. Babysitters and PTO is a passive aggressive protest, nothing more.

If you get invited to an anniversary dinner, do you ask if the kids can come?
If yes, just stay home until the kids are in the military or college,

I read this thread and I see why zoomers are so lonely and depressed. It is sad.

It's kind of sad you think you're being entertaining or teaching lessons or whatever it is you think you're doing here.

See your therapists.

The shockingly high rates of loneliness and depression in zoomers is well-documented. If that isn’t sad, I don’t know what is.

You seem gleeful at the prospect of other people being lonely and depressed. Have you asked yourself why that is? I’m listening.
