My cousin's baby is being Christened - nothing huge - they not remotely religeous - think she is doing it to get him into a school when he older and probably for the gifts (it was her who threw her own baby shower!!) - he is about 4 months I think.
Anyway I really don't want to go that much - me and my cousin don't get on that well - she is the sort of person who would stab you in the back in the blink of an eye - infact she sided with X2b when we first split and I really hate her for that - she is niave and immature and is keeping her son away from his father because his father won't financially support him - I think this is wrong but to her money is everything!!
My sister is going to be there too and we have not spoken since she told me that she does not feel that she needs to have a relationship with me - FFS I ended up in coiunselling and nearly topping myself after helping her with her problems last year and she repays me with that!! I know she will be all concilatory and have to say something but at the moment I think there is more chance of me wanting to punch her than anything - she might not want to have a relationship with me but she completely discounted how DD would feel just losing her from her life!! Mind you she is so bloody needy and everything is poor me my life is worse than anyone elses in the world that I know I am better off without her - just wish I didn't have to see her again and DD did not miss her!!
And I know she is going to try and muscle in when I have DS - she is already asking others when I am due and if I know what it is (she has already been told all of the facts) - God I don't know what to do about it - If I accept and then make an excuse I know for a fact that cousin would see through it and probably hold a grudge for the rest of her life - if we go both myself and DP would be on knife edge and DD would probably run up to sister which would piss me off considering she has wiped her existence from her life!!
Oh wise mumsnetters what would you do - I also don;t want to be all melodramatic and refuse to go or make a big thing out of it!! - I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO!!!
