Four months before my daughter’s wedding, she told me that her uncle (my brother, “Dave”) would make her feel unsafe if he was a guest. She asked me not to invite him.
My daughter is very politically progressive, as are many of her friends, and although she and Dave have always had a good relationship (I thought), he is a conservative voter and has supported candidates we all abhor.
Dave has always been very nice, so my daughter’s request surprised me.
I wrote Dave a very nice note, telling him that we would not be comfortable with him at the wedding and that he would not be invited.
SNIP
Afterward, I sent him a card and pictures from the wedding, all in an effort to make him feel like he was not being totally left out.
I have not heard from Dave since then. When my siblings found out what I had done they were angry with me.
That is just one problem.
Another problem is that Dave has not sent my daughter and son-in-law a wedding gift.
In the past, Dave has given family members wedding checks in excess of $1,000.
She says she was counting on receiving the same type of gift.
My husband says I should drop it – but I can’t. Dave’s behavior is upsetting and embarrassing to me.
How can I get my brother to recognize and change his petty behavior?

Talk about spoiled brats.
[my daughter] says she was counting on receiving the same type of gift.
That's a liberal for you.
Hate your guts, not invite you, then act offended when you didn't fork over big $ gift.
In a world of Angry in Philadelphias, be an Uncle Dave!
Yes! I’m not familiar with this Amy, but she gave the exact perfect response to this liberal family’s ridiculous behavior!
I don't think it's Dave's petty behavior that's in play here, my dear. Someone is insufferably entitled and intolerant here, and it isn't Dave.
Reap what you sow Mom. You can raise politically informed individuals but not in a pack.
The progressive mindset is to hate everything about conservatives with a white-hot passion, except their money, which they covet with a white-hot passion. This story is consistent with that.
These grifters come from the Juicy Smolliét School of Victimhood. Stay clear, “Dave,” for the rest of your life.

Gee- what a nice note- instead ya shoulda scolded your idiot ‘progressive’ daughter for being such a freakin nancy, and for being hateful towards people with different opinions- but nope- you decided that a conservative at the wedding was too emotionally devastating- so now you can suck up the loss of a gift because of your idiotic ‘nice letter’ telling dave that you think he is the scum of the earth and ‘not wanted’
You underestimate the sheer depths of stupidity and depravity today's Dimms are capable of reaching. This is a party where the majority seem to agree that men are women if they simply identify as such.
There is no way to write a nice note saying what she did.
You essentially told him to eat dirt and die. You can not say that in a nice way much less in a very nice way.
This lady either needs to start or stop taking drugs.
“ I wrote Dave a very nice note, telling him that we would not be comfortable with him at the wedding and that he would not be invited.”
Bitch
OMG. Typical snotty, arrogant, entitled liberal. The bride would “feel unsafe” if a conservative was at her wedding. What does she think he would do? Beat her over the head with a MAGA hat? Liberals are just vile. I have lost all patience with them.
Unsafe…

Wow! Typical liberal- always trying to run everyone else’s life! liberalism really is a mental disorder
Sometimes the letters are just made up.
Stepchildren do this a LOT! They don’t want (usually) stepMOM to attend any of their functions but want their money/gifts just the same.
Liberals are insane narcissists.
