I'll start off by saying that I am a tit for tat type of person.
I'll try to make this short lol:
So my husbands cousin had a birthday dinner for her daughter back in August. We weren't invited due to the fact that my husband hasn't spoken to his brother in law in almost 2 years and he was going to be there. We weren't even aware of this birthday dinner until the birthday girl texted me the next day innocently telling me alllll about it. We were fairly close with them until my husband got into an argument with his brother in law. Now that they are no longer talking we got push to the back burner. But, we are very close with my husbands aunt, the cousins mother (grandmother to the birthday girl). So when I found out I told his aunt that we were hurt and she told us that we weren't invited because they didn't think we would go because the brother in law would be there. Isn't that our decision to make!?!
Now that LOs birthday is coming up and invitations are going out. I don't want to invite them. We went back and forth with this for awhile and I feel strongly about it. Tell me, would you do the same? Or am I blowing it out of proportion?
Re: Am I being petty?
But it sounds like you don't want to invite them because you're looking for some sort of revenge and that attitude is immature and kinda toxic. It's not an effective conflict resolution tactic. If someone hurts me, I call them on it and let them know how I feel, and find a way to eventually work it out with them.
So you're right that not inviting them in itself isn't necessarily immature but the motives for doing it sound that way. Hopefully I'm just misinterpreting what you're saying though.
I did not invite one family member and now there is this ridiculous feud going on that I'd just rather not involved. Its not worth the issues
