Nose Out Of Joint A Tiny Bit

[sherrardk]

My step dad just rang to let me know when he is getting married. Very quick to say I needn't go to the trouble of going if it was awkward taking the kids out of school, etc. He has booked the room for ten people - himself, his wife to be, her two children, my brother and sister (his children with my mother) and their partners and a couple they are friendly with. Feel like I can't go regardless as there will be no space for me and my family (we only live 1 1/4 hours away so it wouldn't have been a big deal). Originally he was only going to have the couple they are friendly with as witnesses. My twin sister is 'not expected' to show up either as she lives miles away. Am I just being too sensitive or am I right to feel a bit 'pushed out'?

I think you should ring him and say you would love to be there. He is a man and they aren't always very good at understanding women's feelings. Maybe he just hasn't thought about it very well, or perhaps he thinks you might be upset about him re-marrying, so has given you an easy excuse not to go. Don't let this come between you after all of these years. After having him in your life for such a long time I'm sure he loves you and thinks of you as his own daughter. I bet he would be chuffed to have you there. Don't let it fester.

The room does only hold ten people (and there are seven of us).

Sherr, what about going on your own?
