Well, tonight she texted me saying she missed us at her reception.... I had to explain how we hung around for almost an hour, and didn't see her. Not sure how she will react... I honestly don't think she meant to offend us. I think she may have just forgot to invite us originally, or didn't have space for us, and tried to include us last minute. Talk about awkward though!

No it wasn't a Mormon wedding, but they both grew up Mormon...I believe they were trying to keep the costs down of their wedding since they were paying for it themselves. But, the timing of it all was just off. We shouldn't have been asked to show up while the lunch was still going on, and they were nowhere to be seen for nearly an hour. I just think if you can't afford to include everyone, eit

Honestly, that is what was bugging me while waiting around so long watching everyone else eat/drink and celebrate. We originally agreed upon a $50 gift/check, but last min. before we arrived, hubby said we should do $100. Then after realizing how half-assed the invite was, I just wanted to leave, and not leave our $100 cash gift, feeling that our idea of friendship was not the same as theirs.

We were invited to the 'cake cutting' part of the reception for a friend of the family. However, when we got there, there was the luncheon part of the reception still going on. We didn't see the bride or groom, so we waited around the area, not wanting to intrude on the other guests. But, after waiting 45 min after the time we were given to show up, we felt like we were invited as an after tho

When I was about 12 I remember having an interview with one of the bishopbric (not bishop) IN MY BEDROOM!! Thank goodness nothing bad happened, but it goes to show how naive and trusting they were of ward members?!?! It felt a bit uncomfortable at the time, but looking back now I realize how completely inappropriate this was!!

The family set up a Facebook page to help find him. According to some posts I've read on other sites, it seems that anytime anyone asks or mentions anything they don't like... Like perhaps he might have a drug, alcohol or gambling problem they delete the post immediately. A person also mentioned she offered to hand out flyers in an area that there may have been a sighting of him, but never got a

It's a local story here in Utah, but it's made national news. Just find the details of the story a bit strange. For example his car was found abandoned at a school. There were items in the car that they claim were not his... Like a bag and a bottle of alcohol. I just wondered how they know for certain it wasn't his stuff? And they are being very vague about the details of his medical condition. I

Moab's peak season starts mid April and runs to early / mid September. They have a limited number of rooms relative to the tourism so that price is not unusual. I think we paid about 120/night when we went there last Thanksgiving and considered it a pretty good deal for a mid-range hotel. 2 National Parks, a global tourism destination, and no good options outside of the small town means outsiz

I grew up just outside Manchester, in Bedford. Our ward was in Manchester. I've been gone for a long time, but I always felt the ward members were more like family. If they haven't moved the mission home, it was in Bedford, which is a nice small town. Manchester is a large city, and does have some rough areas. I have heard they are having a bad problem with Heroin, which is sad. Would suggest w

I think you hit the nail on the head...she has told me in the past that she was jealous of me for different reasons. She always made it seem like our families are always in competition. Who's kids does Grandma like best? Who gets the most likes/comments from family members on social media? etc. She would tell me how it made them feel bad when the other family bragged how much money they had.

I guess I feel like I need to make nice for the kids sake. My kids have 2 cousins on my side that live out of state, and 7 cousins on DH side, 3 live out of state and then her 4 are the only ones nearby. I don't want our not getting along to affect my kids relationship with their very few cousins. It was the only reason we even went to the family reunion, so the kids could be with their cousin

Thank you all for the advice. I wanted to explain to her how I felt, and to call her on her BS. I never would have thought to just not play her game. But it makes so much sense. I sent the reply "thanks for the B-day wishes", and also wished her a happy birthday since it's next week. Guess we'll see if she brings up the Facebook thing again. I honestly hope not, at least for a whi

If you have followed my recent posts you know my SIL hates me. Well, less than a 2 weeks before our extended family is to meet in another State for a family reunion she unfriends me on Facebook. I mentioned it to my DH, and he says he knows why. His brother sent him an e-mail earlier in the day. Apparently she saw us at the movie theater, and she says my kids gave her kids the cold shoulder.

I do think you are right on about her seeking drama...I am the opposite, I hate it and want to avoid it!

And the drama continues...oddly enough my SIL told our MIL that her daughter that was rude to our son ended up crying through her party. I asked my hubby and daughter if this was true and they said no. The only thing I can think of is she wanted to make her daughter sympathetic to the situation. They both still insist that she was talking to a different boy. Anyway the reason this drama continue

Thanks for all the nice comments...It helps to know that others agree that it isn't right to exclude a sibling when it comes to inviting cousins to parties. One of the things that irks me the most, is SIL is telling everyone that her daughter was talking to the neighbor boy, so she and her daughter are off the hook, and I look like a crazy person that overreacted. The thing is her daughter clearl

We would both absolutely love to get out of the vacation, however the plan was to share a beach house, and we feel if we didn't go after agreeing that we would, we would have to pay our share of the cost, which could be $1,000 or more :(

The first time it was her oldest daughter who invited my son, and excluded our girl. It was my decision not to tell our daughter because she would be very hurt that she wasn't invited. I really should have told her that since both were not invited, that he would not be going...Honestly, when it comes to cousins/family you should either invite both kids, or none at all. I just think it's too hur
