Cousin not inviting us

I don't know if IBU or if I'm just emotional because it's the week before my period.

I have a cousin who is 5 years younger than me who gets invited to everything that we do. Eg- My children's christenings, birthdays, any Christmas Functions and also events held by my parents, along with my uncle and my cousins younger sister (also my cousin) too.

Yesterday, we found out she had a baby shower and invited our grandma and Aunty but not my mum and I. And tbh, I'm really annoyed and upset. I really want to message her and let her know how I feel (not in an aggressive way, just a "I'm so pleased you're having a baby, but was disappointed that we weren't invited" way).

My Uncle and two cousins are invited to my daughters christening next month, and I really want to uninvite them.

AIBU and she can do what she likes or is she BU and she should have invited us. And a bit extra, should I still invite them to the christening?

Get over yourself how is this hurtful? It is not about you. You don’t invite to get an invite. There could be multiple reasons you are not invited. And I assume by “my grandma and aunt” you mean her mother?!

One less present to buy - yay 😃

You should thank your cousin for sparing you from the horror that are baby showers.

If it's a one off then YABU, if it happens more often, then she doesn't see you as close and it's up to you whether you continue to invite her to things. I would not uninvite anyone though
