Would you have gone?

OK, quick scenario here: I have 2 families that I am close with. I am closer with one family more than the other, but have known family #1 longer. We all got along great - then family #1 wife invites us to a New Years' Eve party; I find out after I accept invite that she didn't invite family #2. She has decided for some unknown made up reason she doesn't like hubby of family #2 (who is a great person). This put me in an awkward position because I didn't want family #2 to be hurt, as I am really closer to them. I went because I had already accepted thinking we were all going; and my son was already looking forward to it. I felt awful the whole time. Would you have gone?

You can't live your life trying not to hurt someone's feelings at the exception of living your own life.

You agreed to go before you knew the other family was not invited, don't beat yourself up about it. What I would do is start planning a series of great parties at the other families house and you might think I would say not to invite the first family but no, no, no, you must invite them.

Nothing ****** people off more than people they hate showing them friendship and kindness in a public way. I would invite them in front of other people so they have to come or look like azzholes if they don't. Comments from family #2 thanking family #1 as their "good friends" should also be made.

You guys can have a lot of fun with this if you want to, lol.

Actually, the next night we made a point to bring all our booze over to family #2's for a fire and cards, and had an awesome time. I noticed family #1 was out back listening.

Honestly, I thought what she pulled was shady. Shame on her for being so nasty.

LOL @ Timesjoke suggestion, I like that ;)
