Skipping a distant relative’s birthday – Is that rude?
We’ve been invited to my partner’s cousin’s stepchild’s birthday party. It’s a big gathering in a rented venue, but honestly, I’ve only met the kid a handful of times and don’t really have any connection to them.
Would it be rude to skip it? My partner doesn’t seem too bothered either way, but I don’t want to come across as impolite. Do people generally feel obligated to attend these kinds of extended family events, or is it fine to just send a gift and call it a day?
