I'm 23 with a 3 year old daughter and 8 month old son. My mum is 45 and has been with her partner for 6 years, I get on with them both, I'm not super close to her partner but I thought I was close to my mum. I try and see her at least once a week, once a fortnight at the very least.
So they announced they were engaged in November and are due to marry in August, so far so good. Until today when we were talking about the wedding and she dropped in casually that her partners daughter in law would be her bridesmaid and her sons pageboys so she had to factor that in on seating plans ect. I was a bit taken aback that neither me or my daughter had been asked to be bridesmaids (my son I' have understood because he is very little). It was my understanding (because obviously i'd have thought she'd have asked me or at least my daughter) that there was going to be no bridesmaids/ pageboy jazz to save on stresses in that area.
The fact that she dropped it in so casually shows to me that she doesn't think it's that big of a deal so I want to know if i'd be unreasonable to A. Take it up with her, especially on my daughters behalf or B. Just not go to the wedding altogether.
There is a part of me that thinks I am being unreasonable because obviously it's her wedding and she can choose who does what but it doesn't sit right with me that my little girl isn't going to be a bridesmaid at my mothers wedding.
