My daughter refuses to come!!!

Wow, I'm sure she will regret this when she gets older. I would carry on as best you can. Try to ignore the drama she's stirring up. If people ask you about it, just say that you're not sure what's going on with her, but you wish she were attending. Don't let her get what she wants....attention and to get under your skin.

Stand your ground. I wouldn't let some boyfriend move in to my home, either. Hell no. A real man pays his own way and wouldn't even want to live with his GF's mom.

It's really unfortunate, but you can't control what she does, only how you react. PPs have some great advice.

My daughter will be 18 soon. Every time I or FH out our foot down to her, she acts similar to your daughter. I just remind her of how much we both have been there and how lucky she is to have a man who has stepped up to the plate and accepted her and loves her like his own. Sometimes it helps. 3X within the past year she broke down after trying to down us to others and apologized.

Honestly, it's very hard emotionally to have your own cchild try to rain on your parade. I just tell her what is really going on and tell her that one day she might burn that bridge with me and FH. I'm a good person and treat others well until they cross me to many times.

Hoping that a good night's rest brought peace to your family and a new perspective to your daughter's viewpoint. She will truly regret missing your wedding!

When her and her boyfriend breakup she's going to come running home.

Do you give her any money? If so - cut her off. Her car, her insurance, her phone, any other money.

I was your daughter at one point, I thought I was adult and mature. Then mom cut me off so I wouldn't move in with a boyfriend over summer break because I had no income until I could get a job. If he is younger, he probably doesn't have a good job either. They will be broke before too long. Let them figure it out. I know its hard with your wedding coming up, but really I'm so grateful my mom did that - I got a good dose of reality.

She will most likely regret this for the rest of her life if she doesn't show. Try to focus on you and your big day and hopefully she will come to her senses. She's acting like a child and let her.

My uncle got remarried and his son suddenly left with his mom a week before the wedding. My uncle hasn't seen him since and the family hasn't talked to him since.. Kids will be kids and at some point they will realize the impact that it will have on their life.. Or in my cousins case.. it hasn't.

Thanks so much ladies. Your support and encouragement means a lot. Emotionally I am just numb at this point. I really do appreciate all of your kind words.

Hi. I’m having the same issues. My daughter 19 lives with us with no charge coz she goes to school. During the time I was single, she was not at help at all even if she could work coz she is at the right age. She doesn’t like my wedding dress, our wedding theme and she said she has class on our wedding day. She can always make up for that class but not our family moment. My fiancée had fixed her car all the time and we couldn’t have a house if not my fiancée. It would really hurt my feelings if she doesn’t show up. I sacrificed so much as a single parent and I think she wouldn’t realize that until she starts living on her own. I told her if she won’t come to my wedding then might as well move out coz she didn’t consider us her family. Even if she shows up but not by heart, then just don’t coz it will ruin my moment anyway.
