AIBU? Our friends are getting married on the Saturday and our daughter's birthday is the Monday. We are thinking about declining the wedding as it is her birthday weekend. She will be turning 4.
They aren't close friends, we see them once a year on average, but they're old friends. I'm a teacher and the wedding is in January, so I cannot take her birthday off work to spend it with her. The wedding is in Alfreton (we live in Cornwall!), so we'd have to stay away for two nights. She is invited, but we just aren't sure if that's how we should spend her birthday weekend. Surely it would be better to take her on a day out that we know she'd love and to arrange to see family?
