Hi gorgeous mamis! Hope you're all doing well. My question is in relation to the "obligatory invitations", if there is such a thing, to kids birthday parties. My hubby's step sister has 4 kids (ages 5-10) and they are ridiculously NAUGHTY. More so than your average child that plays up. When they attend our functions, she spends majority of it screaming at them to behave, to get down from climbing up on things and to stop beating up on other children. They never listen to her (or anyone else) and they have zero respect for her.
The other thing as well, is that when her kids have parties etc, we are never invited but there are posts on FB of the kids birthday parties etc.
Question.. Do i HAVE to invite them as they're a constant headache when they attend as well as the fact that we are never invited to any of their functions?
Thanks ladies! :)

I wouldn't invite anyone you don't actually want to spend the time with. Sounds like they don't invite you to theirs so definitely don't feel guilty about leaving them out!
No you don't, there is no obligation. When we have parties some years it's just for family and some years it is just the kids friends from school. Sometimes when we were kids u would choose to invite a couple of cousins and not others. No drama
No, especially as they don't so it's fine. If they did, I'd suggest having a separate family get together, but as it stands there's no need.
Nope, I have a few families within my close extended family who we call "the ferals" and they very rarely get invited to my house for this reason! Dont feel bad, if she can't control her children then you shouldn't have to have them their ruining the day for everyone!
