sooo long story i have been invited to my sisters house and all of my cousins will be there also with their kids i have 2 kids which one is 5 and other is 10 Months, so my 10 Months old is sick and we dont drink but my cousin is pushing my partner to have a drink but i said what if we have to go hospital with the baby he need to be clear for my 5 year old which my husband is 100% with me and any way he dont drink that often once every couple years and my cousin reply was well your not drinking so he can and didn't respond anymore am i being reasonable for not wanting to attend the party, because how everyone in the group chat didn't even ask what's wrong with my daughter and it upset me that it was only that on his mind

YANBU

You and you're husband are making the call to not drink for the need of the family, don't listen to any peer pressure or pushing, stick to your guns and pull away if needed. Very immature to push people to drink and not accept reasons to not drink, even worse to believe one parent can drink because the other isn't.

Of course YANBU. I loathe the way people try to force alcohol on other people. Why is it such a massive deal if people arent drinking, whatever the reason. I hope your baby is better soon OP
