So my parents are invited to my second cousin’s wedding, but I’m not.
To be fair, I’m not close to that cousin, we’ve only seen each other a few times and just follow each other on social media. So I get why I’m not invited.

Still, it stings a bit because most of my first cousins (who I am close to) are invited, and it feels like they’re all going to have this big family moment without me and my siblings (who also aren’t invited). But nevermind, we will have other opportunities for this :)

Now here’s the situation:
My parents asked if my partner and I could drive them to the wedding which is in a area a bit far from where they live. My mom has a license but can’t drive long distances for medical reasons, and my dad is too anxious to drive far.

At first I was like okay… but then they also suggested we get an Airbnb there. That’s where it started to feel really weird, (TBH I’m feeling weird since they ask us to drive them like what a lack a tact but nvm they’re my parents and dont have other options…) but now they litterally want us to stay in a AIRBNB with them so we can drive them home the morning after like ???? So like we will stay at the bnb while my family is partying next door ?

not to mention that they originally asked this to my fiancé instead of me like if they knew that was crazy and when I went to them so they can explain they were kind of uncomfortable

I ended up deciding that we could drive them there, but we wouldn’t stay.

I can accept that I’m not invited to the wedding but I don’t want to see people getting ready, laughing and talking about a ceremony we will not be part of like ?

Now I’m overthinking it because, at the end of the day, they're my parents… but also, it feels a bit unfair.

and they like sending me messages about how there’s no taxis that could pick them up the day after…
