Yesterday we were at MIL for Thanksgiving. Other relatives came over and had wine. So they offered wine to everyone but Dh and FIL. Personally I think that was very rude. So do you think it was rude?

Plus there is a family wedding and MIL & FIL, BIL& SIL are all invited but me and Dh are not.

Now Dh says he doesn't care because he doesn't like them anyway but In my family that would never happen.

Has something happened in the past that may have caused some tension?

Ahhh...... this is why I had my very small but very nice and relaxing Thanksgiving yesterday.

It really sucks OP but let it roll of your back and move on with those that really matter :-)

 I think the wine thing is rude.

Not so much the wedding thing cause its obviously they dont like each other so it makes sense you guys wouldn't be invited.

But to offer every else wine and not them is in bad form.  Thats just bad etiquette.

I didn't offer anyone but my gf wine yesterday. The guys were quite happy w/the beer they brought. As for inviting someone to a wedding in the presence of others, that's rude.

If that is how they choose to behave I would just start some new family traditions without the rest of them, make some new and better memories.

They aren't here every year, the only reason the were here was because of the wedding.

But it just blew me away because my family is not like that at all.

Well at least you don't have to deal with them on a regular basis.  I would just let it go and move on.  I'f your husband is bothered by it help him deal with it but if he's already over it don't sweat it. 

I watched my fathers family go from being very tight knit to very fractured after my grandmother died, it was light day and night.  All I can do is shake my head at the negative changes that have taken place and stay out of the line of fire.  Makes me glad I live in another state!
