Hello Ladies, I'm curious what you think of this.
My mom and SIL are throwing a bridal shower for my first cousin. My mom is bankrolling it and my SIL is planning it. I am not close with Cousin, she is 7 yrs younger and painfully shy. She hid behind her mom for years, we're talking past college.
I am not invited to the shower, which I find odd since my mom is throwing it and my other aunt (who is not close w/ this cousin) is invited, so it's not like it's just her besties. In fairness to Cousin, I had a baby shower 7 months ago and did not invite her. I mostly just invited people who lived in town and it was thrown by MIL's friend so I did not have an unlimited guest list. So she is really just doing to me what I did to her - ie not inviting me to her thing, and as I said we are not close.
But it still kind of chaps me, like she went out of her way to not invite me, since my mom is throwing it and I keep hearing all about it from my mom and my SIL.
What do you guys think?
Obviously my response is always "oh that's ok, we are not super close, she's younger than me, I don't mind." And I will continue saying and acting that way, just confessing to you ladies here.
