I'll try to keep this short....
My brother's step-daughter had her birthday party today and neither of my children were invited. They go to the same school as her and DD is a year older and DS is a year younger. We only found out about the party today as my SIL needed my Mum's help with something party related and we were at my Mum's for lunch. Mum also didn't know about the party until SIL phoned for help. I saw SIL twice yesterday when I was taking her DD to and from an event she was attending with my DD. I asked her then if her DD would be playing sport today with my DD at the club they both go to and she said probably not as DD was tired. In actual fact it was because her DD was at her birthday party.
I feel upset as we have tried really hard to make sure both her and her children feel part of our family. They call my mum Gran and me and DH Aunty and Uncle, and I always refer to them as niece and nephew. My DH and I are in my SIL's will as carers of her children should anything happen to her as she doesn't want them to go to her ex-husband (history of domestic abuse). I am a bit perplexed as to why she didn't invite my two and/or why she didn't mention the party. Do I just let it slide or do I ask my brother what's going on?
