Wow, this has proved to be some interesting morning reading. OP,do what you want with your life. It's too short. If you don't want to be in the weddings then don't be. It may not be what I or many others would do, but they will get over it.
As for the rest of this show, some of you people need to lay off. Disneyjunkie you accuse the OP of being nasty, well look at some of the things said to her. She's been called names, accused of hating her family, been outright disrespected by most of you. Why wouldn't she be defensive. Your right maybe at that point it's time to turn off the computer, but I think the same goes to the rest of you attacking her. Maybe it's time to decide you disagree and move on.
robinb> she asked you a pretty straightforward question. Why do you make things up? Why not answer it? I think many of us would like to know why you fabricate stories, which you've done at least twice that I noticed in this thread. You've been such a presence in this thread and what she asked you was valid so answer it.
Anyway OP, some people will try to bring you down no matter what you say. I don't think not being in your SILs weddings warrant most of the comments brought forth in this thread, so I don't blame you for giving it right back to them. It seems they can dish it but not take it, so it just may be time to leave the thread.
