My brother will be having a 70th birthday party in November. My other brother is invited but we are not invited. I got an invitation from my sister in law in an email. The heading said my brothers name and 70th birthday. I thought we were being invited to his birthday but instead she invited us to a club for lunch a couple of weeks after my brothers 70th birthday. The email said it is to celebrate the families birthdays. My childrens birthdays are in December. My sister in law knows I am coeliac and I am not able to eat the food. Eating tiny amounts of gluten can damage my intestine and do other things. The club has gluten free meals but it is very likely to be contaminated with gluten. My husband and son are not going to go to the club. I am not sure about my daughter and partner.

Would you feel upset, annoyed, disappointed or perhaps you would feel it is a good thing you were not invited? At least you know that they do not think much of you.
