My mom has 7 brothers and sisters, and all but 2 of them live out of town. Those that are in town are not the best people to have at family gatherings. They can be rude and have alcohol problems, plus family problems, and they only ever contact my mom when they need money. Two of them did not attend their own mother's funeral, nor my mom's wedding.
However, my mom is jealous that I am closer to my dad's family, and is making me invite all of her family so it will be "even", and says that they probably won't come. I know that there is a chance they might, and if so, I really don't want them there. My parents are buying all the food so they say it's not my decision on who is invited since I'm not paying for them to be there.
Is is fair for me to take the chance to have people I do not want at my wedding when they have not taken the chance to be involved in our lives? Is it ok to tell my mom fine, invite them, but if they come I will not be very social with them?
