So I have been having a hard time with something and I wanted to know your thoughts. My cousin and I have always been fairly close. She is a few years older than me, but we always hung out. She and her husband are my son's Godparents. She recently had a child and I was not even invited to the baptism. I saw pictures on Facebook of the Baptism, that's how I knew it had even occured. We used to talk a lot, but it has dwindled over the years. There was never a falling out, we just grew apart I guess. I am a teacher in Delaware and she is a doctor in Pennsylvania, so we do not have much in common and I maybe see her once a year now. We do exchange gifts for the kids at Christmas. I am just upset that she is my son's Godmother and I was not even invited to her daughter's Baptism. Do I have a right to be upset, or am I just being overly sensitive?

I am going right to the point ..... NO! you should not be upset or sensitive about this because
1)She is your son's Godmother.
2)It will just make the relation worse if you are upset about this matter.
You should just be happy for her , to know your cousin is fine . Many relation are broken because of this reason , since can make a situation in which both of you will stop talking and ending then relation completely !!!!!!! So just care for her and her family and try to maintain a good relationship by calling her once a month or week .... Try to do this with all your relation and you will find everyone coming back close to you !!!

You had the right to be upset because you were close once. Maybe there is something bad happened during the old days and it somehow strained your relationship with her with out you knowing it. You can establish a new contact with her and patch things up. Good luck.

of course you are right in being upset. you guys were close to each other and things started to become different but still you invited her to be godmother of your child. at least she could had invited you to her daughter baptism sure :( im sorry for what happened. she should had think that that would hurt you. anyway dont think more about it. what matters the most is to have important people in our lives other ones doesnt matter^^
