lol I'd definitely be declining that invitation. Good for you for taking it in stride.
wow, haha, sounds like she has molded passive aggressive in to an artform.
Yeah, I think I'd be "washing my hair" as well :)
Wow! Yeah I wouldnt be going either. I would probably politely, but also passive aggressively say
"Thanks for the invite, but the last event we seemed to be 2 people too many for the food cooked so we don't want to put that strain on you for the holiday"
I can't even believe that the kiddo was invited but not you guys. Wow. I'm just shocked.
I know huh?! And she's seriously oblivious that this whole situation *might* be perceived as rude. There's nothing to do but laugh!!!
Wow! It is like something out of a sitcom. Ridiculous.
I think we weren't invited because DH's cousins were coming and we've had a falling out with them (read: they're huge selfish jerks with zero manners who have said extremely rude/mean things to me, treated DH like crap even when he goes out of his way to help them, and they're not welcome in our home anymore). Re-reading my SMIL's email, said cousins aren't able to make it to dinner, so maybe that's why we got the B list invite? However, I'm surprised they were invited at all because last I heard my FIL and SMIL had had a falling out with the cousins after being treated similarly to how the cousins have treated us.
Thank god my side of the family is normal. LOL!

This gave me a good belly laugh today. So DH's stepmom is, shall we say, delightfully eccentric. We've had our ups and downs with her, but things have been going smoothly as of late. This upcoming weekend is Thanksgiving in the Great White North. DH and I have DH's son this weekend for the holiday. DH's stepmom and dad invited my stepson to Thanksgiving dinner at their place. Not us. Just him (he's 5). Oookay. Fine. It actually worked out well because we have a function to attend that night so it saves us looking for a babysitter or him having a late night if he comes with us.
Today I get an email from DH's stepmom saying that she's had a couple cancellations from her dinner guests so would we like to join? Wow. B-list for Thanksgiving dinner. Awesome. Even if we didn't have anywhere to go, I think I'd be "washing my hair" just to get out of that uncomfortable situation. LOL!
I should also note that a few years ago we went to a holiday dinner with them, there wasn't enough room at the table for us, so DH and I ate on tv tables in the livingroom and got whatever food was leftover after everyone at the table had taken what they wanted. They ran out of food. Seriously.
Ahhh family. You are so funny and quirky. You make me laugh to no end.
