Tough Talk,

I’ve been invited to my niece’s wedding.  She is a wonderful young lady, bubbly and perky.  When she was in grammar school, I would babysit her when her mom was getting on her feet after a bad relationship.  We were always close, but have grown apart these past few years.  There are several events planned, but I have only been invited to the dinner and I’ve heard I will be in one of the back tables.  I understand that I need to be reasonable, but there are other family and friends who never gave her or her mother the time of day, but are now part of the main festivities. Should I say anything about this or let it slide?  (Andobra, Washington)

Andobbie,

You should immediately bring this to your niece’s attention and tell this perky, bubbly young lady how offended you are after all you did for her.   It also  sounds like she’s sucking up to these people, probably for money.  Make sure you voice your concerns before the big day.
