I was asked to be a bridesmaid in the wedding of my husband's male cousin. My husband was a groomsman. I am social with the bride- but not really a close friend. Also, the wedding date fell on my only daughter's 4th b'day. Out of family obligation, I accepted. However, a month prior to the event she told me she did not want kids at the wedding. Since both my husband and I were in the wedding, our close family members were attending, and it was my daughter's birthday- I was hurt. After consideration, I agreed to respect the bride's wishes, change birthday plans, and asked my mom to babysit. As the wedding approached, I learned that another bridesmaid was going to bring her 4 mo. old. There was also a 6 year-old in the wedding party. On the wedding day, fifteen children (ages 7-12) & 3 babies attended. My daughter is very well behaved (I know everyone says that, but I'm a school teacher-trust me-she is!), we are family, & I am completely hurt. How/Should I approach her now?
