It all started when me and my parents got into a big fight. Then my mom starting talking bad stuff about my husband so we decided to move out of their house. we are currenly not getting along that well. My sister-in-law invited me and my girls only to her daughter baptism. what it's the right thing to do?

Baptisms are public ceremonies to be witnessed by the entire church so no invitation should be necessary.
Your family has to respect that you and your husband are a couple.
Either go together or don't go at all.
I suggest you and your husband go to the baptism but not any reception afterward which would need an invitation.
With love in Christ.

your main family are your children and your husband, they should come first. your secondary family is everyone else.talk this over with your husband. if he doesn't care if you and the girls go, then go. as soon as the baptism is over go home. let everyone know you don't want to go to the party afterwords (if there is one) because you,your husband and daughters have other plans. but if this childish way keeps up for christmas or any other holidays, tell them if your husband is not welcomed, then you and the kids won't be there either.then thank them politely for the invitation and hang up.

I would go, after you talk to your husband, BUT I would go just in time for the baptism, and leave immediately after...your niece would know that you are there, but I would not stay & talk to your family. They need to realize that when you got married, your husband and children became your immediete family, and they are extended family, you have to do what is best for you, your husband, and children. Or, if you do have to speak to them, say "It has been nice to see you, but we have to go, John & I are spendind some special time with the kids this afternoon, we do so love our family time." good luck!

You need to talk to your husband and see how he feels about it. Some men don't like to go to that sort of thing anyways so he might be okay with you taking the kids and going. It will give him a mans day alone!
Good luck!

If someone disrespected my husband like that they would definately get an earful from me and then they would cease to exist for me until they apologized to my husband.

i wouldn't go any where that my husband was not also invited to go. If your niece, sister-n-law, mother or any one else wants you to be with them for any event then they should respect you by not dis including your husband. they are wrong for their S--T!

Yes, but talk to your husband first. He probably doesn't want to go anyway.

No you politely decline the invite. By you going its telling them its ok to exclude hubby and your married to him, not them. You Hubby comes first, he is your family now.....
