Mom and dad received their invitations but I havent received anything (I would have by now) :( She and I had a stupid argument when family came to visit for ds's birthday. It was SO STUPID. I offered to drive everyone to lunch because I had a minivan at the time (I have since traded it lol); just made sense to take one vehicle instead of 4. It was warm that day and my AC didnt work. On the way home she kept complaining that she was hot (she's lived in oregon for a couple of years now and hadnt adjusted to our south georgia weather). We stopped at a gas station and she could have bought some water but she just sat there pouting. I also apologized that my car didnt have a working AC. It escalated to an argument when she passive aggressively talked about me to dad. I got a little angry, pounded the dashboard with my fist and she called me an asshole (thankfully ds was sleeping). She pretended to act faint when we arrived back to my house and he fiance said while looking at me "let's get out of here". I thought she and I made up. We did that evenning at least...or so I thought; mom told me later on that my sister and her fiance were making fun of me and saying mean things on the way to my son's birthday party. So at this point, I dont care I wasnt invited...it would be just more drama. Plus my daughters 1st bday is a few days afte their wedding date. God forbid my children get attention from their grandparents the day of my sister's wedding. I'm wondering now if that date was set on purpose: choose my wedding or my sister's baby's bday. uuuugh!!!!!!!!!

The "I don't want to go anyway". remark was said out if spite. And I could care less about "getting all the attention". Where are on earth are you getting that from? Certainly just your opinion. Think what you want. I just want to know I'm invited because I'm her sister. That upperhand remark is very silly.

Why do you wanna go to to the wedding, so she can make remarks about your dress? She's being stupid and maybe has always been jealous of you for some reason. That's often why people try to make you feel bad. Live your life and forget her. In time you won't feel so bad about it.

You really need th read the whole thread. She doesn't want to go to the wedding. It's too close to her daughter's first birthday and its too far away for her to travel. She just wants to be invited so she can say no because she is the one she wants to have the upper hand. She's upset because her daughter wouldn't be the center of attention if they went and she's jealous that her parents are spending money to travel to the wedding.

Yeah I read it all. Whole thing is rather petty.

Everyone fights with their sisters. Just be the bigger person, put your big girl panties on and say sorry first. No reason to let it go on longer than it needs. Just find out why she's mad (or make sure your invitation isn't lost in the mail), see her side, explain that you are very sorry that you have offended her, it wasn't your intention, and let her know you love her and you are family. Now is NOT the time to be right.

If your sister ever grows up, hopefully sooner than later, she will absolutely regret not inviting you to her wedding. Not to offend, but she founds like a brat! My guess us she is wanting you to call and confront her as to whybyoubwerent invited, etc. So she can hold it over your head.... Don't do it. As level headed as you seem, stand strong and throw a memorable party for your daughter. She will certainly look like a fool when guests ask why you aren't there. Besides that, she doesn't deserve your family's presence after making fun of it.
