Offended or not- update
Thanks again to everyone that responded to my first post. But again have a question. So yesterday my husband gets a call from his sister asking him to be in her wedding. He was suprised and said" I didnt think you were asking me, its kind of last minute can I think about it and call you back?". She said its not last minute the wedding is in 2 months. Anyway about five minutes after they hung up she txtd him. She didnt even wait for him to call back. and she said" look I dont deserve to be treated like this. Just forget it, you obviously dont want to be in it."
We were still wondering if we are invited, what to do about the kids, and Im still not sure if they are having the shower late or had it without inviting me. What do you think of that.

Re: Offended or not- update
She sounds nuts. Nothing you can do about it.
Based on "normal" expectations, I can see why you and your DH would be upset. But.... clearly his sister isn't normal, he doesn't have a good relationship with her, etc etc etc. You can't apply normal expectations to a person/situation like this!
Your DH is wasting a lot of energy & emotion over a person who CLEARLY isn't going to behave in a manner that he expects.
It sucks. I get that. but he really needs to start working with who is sister is and not who he wants her to be, or what he wants their relationship to be.

This is an imposition for you and your H and your kiddoes --- as of now, count yourselves as not invited to the event. IT sucks yeah, but what can you do? She's nutty and I don't think she even knows what she wants herself.
I hope I'm not making too many assumptions here, but it sounds like she's holding something against your husband and your family....It seems like maybe she was upset about something and decided at the last minute to be the "bigger person" and offer your husband a position in the wedding party and is shocked and hurt that he wouldn't immediately accept.
I would see if your husband is up for meeting with her privately to clear the air and see what she's upset about and see if they can get on the same page. If she's going to be immature and just hold a grudge, I don't think she's going to start acting rationally.
It's hard not to feel offended, but I would just reset my expectations for her very low so that you're not disappointed by her poor behavior. You can only control your own actions, so take the high road and try not to be too upset if she ends up not inviting your family.
I 100% agree.
