Cut ties with them! That’s so wrong! I would not take her around them anymore! 
If it’s an on going thing than cut ties but if it’s just once let it go. I know how you feel; when my husband’s brother passed away a was never asked to sit with the family (I was pregnant at the time.) It hurts but don’t be bitter about it.
Not your family, or his child. I’m actually confused on why she felt they would be included. Just because people feel like family doesn’t make them family.

Wait a second you’ve been together 4 months, you’re not engaged, or married so no you shouldn’t be included and it doesn’t take away from the relationship she had from him either. I understand your hurt and if it becomes a regular thing then yes reassess your position but no you have no position here I’m sorry
Sometimes people are not sure if they should. I ezcluded s9meone when my brother passed andni.explained i wasnt sure what way to go so i i didnt add them and i appoligized.

Is there more to it? Like actual drama between you and his family though? Surely this wouldn’t have been out if the blue?
Na. Fuck that and fuck them too. Thats cold and calculated and you owe NOBODY access to your child if they are gonna treat her like that. Toxic is toxic.

My question is why isn’t your boyfriend saying anything about it to his family? Why is he okay with it? If he doesn’t have the backbone to stand up to his family for what’s right and decent then perhaps you need to cut ties with him as well.

Walk away from it. Your daughter won’t be aware of it… They are the ones who are in the wrong. Rise above it. Don’t even mention it. Be the bigger person… After all you don’t want to cause a rift x anger will make you say and do things you don’t mean.

like Nicole Dell said…I would just assume that it was an oversight and let it go. All of my children were adopted by us…several times my in laws would comment that they weren’t their blood grandchildren…I just let them know how I felt and left it there…if they choose to continue on that way then they are missing out on someone loving and awesome…otherwise they can just accept and know that love doesn’t have to be genetic !
No. Yall aren’t officially family. Cutting ties as u put it, will only cause ur boyfriend problems and affect ur relationship.

I can relate a little to this. My dad’s wife told my kids that they weren’t her grandkids.
There really isn’t enough info to go on. There are two sides to every story and of course the OP is going to tell hers to fit her more. If they included all the other girlfriends, were the other girlfriends kids bio grandchildren? Or did you do something to piss them off? Start some kind of drama? There is no logical reason why they would include all the other girlfriends and not you unless there was a reason on some level. Also, why do you care if you are in an obituary? Your daughter isn’t old enough to understand and likely will never remember him, and if they just lost their grandfather who has been in their lives their entire lives, where you have only been dating a family member for roughly three years, then this occasion should absolutely not be about you at all. It’s actually kind of narcissistic that you’d be worried enough about this to bring it to a public forum for reassurance. Let the people mourn their family member in peace. As someone who just lost a close family member, I’d be pissed if the girlfriend made a stink about not being included in a death announcement while the rest of us are so heavily mourning we can barely function. Grow up.

Losing a loved one is difficult. I don’t think it’s necessary to go stir up drama with the rest of the family.
Remember him your way and keep the peace.
Try your best to forgive and forget so not to have turn into resentment with your boyfriend or it’ll cause problems.

If you let your daughter see you upset about the situation then she’s going to be. She loves him whether her name was added or not and that’s all that matters. If you feel that way about his family then why care if your and your daughter’s name is in it. I understand why you feel the way you do but the longer you hold on to that negative feeling the longer your going to suffer from it. Just let it go. And just keep it in the back of your mind and watch how your daughter is treated. If she is physically treated different when around family that’s different but to throw a whole family away over your names not being printed is EXTREME!

You don’t want to be miserable with someone because of their family. However, if they treat yall well, it’s a different story.
Every one is grieving and while it must be very upsetting at 4 ur daughter won’t understand or care. If ur hurt talk to ur boyfriend it could very well have been an accidental oversight by someone and not ment to hurt u. Now isn’t the time to cause problems in the family.

Rise above it write your own that will teach them
That was definitely not fair of them to do. If they included one they should have included all. That being said, it’s a reflection of them, not her Grandpa and not your boyfriend. That was a decision someone else made. I get that it hurts but let it go. If you don’t want anything to do with the family he has left then don’t. But don’t punish your boyfriend or hold on to something that happened over a death. Life is too short for that. If this were me, I’d be hurt and I’d keep my distance from the family for a while. Other than that, focus on helping your little girl greive and move on and don’t worry about the decisions of others.

Stop looking for a sense of belonging where you dont belong.
When you die ensure that your boyfriend and his entire family don’t have their names on your obituary.
I don’t think there’s any revenge that will be sweeter than that one I just gave you👆 there.

Old school families might not include those not blood, married, or adopted. It’s not the end of the world. If this gentleman treated you as family, you are family. Don’t get caught up on a piece of paper. If you don’t emphasize the issue, your child won’t know or notice.

You’re being too dramatic right now. I don’t know why they even included other girlfriends… it’s usually reserved for blood relatives or married into the family which you and your daughter are neither.

My dad’s stepdad raised him and when my grandpa died my grandma forgot to mention my dad he had raised in the obituary. She didn’t mean to forget him. At a time of death everyone is filled with alot of emotion. It doesn’t take anything away from the love they shared. So I don’t think it takes away from your daughter either. Nothing changes their relationship.

I think it is weird that they include girlfriend’s or girlfriend’s children in an obituary at all, unless they have biological children with the girlfriends. However, since they did include the others, they should have included you and your daughter as well. I would not cut ties with them unless you want to cut ties with your boyfriend too, unless they’re truly awful to you, but that’s his family and it’s putting him in the middle.

Let the hurt feelings go. You know your daughter was loved. My stepmother cut me out of my father’s funeral and drove a wedge between me and my half siblings.

It is very simple, have you thought of that there maybe someone in his family who did not wanted it?. Maybe to keep peace, he let it happen? What is more important, how he treats you and your daughter or how his family treats you. He lost his granddad, who was fond of your daughter, you can choose to support him and continue. Where any of gtandkids not their blood? People tend to mention their blood and if you mention the kids you mention the other parent. My advice drop it, if you are happy with him. Do not judge his family for this.
Unless it’s your own obituary your being left out of don’t take it personally. It isn’t your place. People are left out for all sorts of reasons, for one it’s expensive as hell to publish.
My father just passed away, and the people that came forward because they weren’t included is just showing the type of people they are as a person making the death of a loved one about themselves. An obituary doesn’t equal love of a person, especially since it more than likely wasn’t written by them.

You are not married. Blood relatives and legitimate spouses. I have never seen girlfriend or child mother added to an obituary. Gain a better title then complain, not like it’s a decade or more you all together.

I’m just going to say a few things. None of which im saying in a judgemental tone.
1-adding any gf/boyfriends is not a thing. But if it was something they were doing you shouldn’t have been left out. Thats rude.
2. You are mourning someone you’ve known 4 years, they are mourning someone who was always apart of their life. Sometimes death makes people do strange things. I wouldn’t use this opportunity to drive a wedge. If they are shitty towards you, under different circumstances, than that would be the time to get upset.
3. Because your name and your child’s name wasn’t in the obituary doesnt take precedence over the relationship he formed with either of you. That is ultimately what matters. Not the piece of paper.
4. I’m so sorry for your loss.

It was the family’s decision to make. Now if they treat your child like a reject to your face you should have been nipped that ish in the bud. You don’t stay anywhere you or your child isn’t welcome. If your bf didn’t have anything to say about it there’s your answer.

Death is stressful. If they have a larger family it may have simply been overlooked. Just take a breath, comfort your daughter on someone she loved and lost.
I can’t even count how many times my aunts went over my grandparents obituary. They had 10 kids and 38 grand kids. All of us are married and kids. If you aren’t looking at faces a name can get missed.

Are there dysfunctionals in the family over there. Meaning Psychopaths or sociopaths. Google the definition. If it fits then why are you surprised? They will never change. But dont let that affect Grandpas memory to your girl. She loves him. Keep that always positive. What’s between you and the sociopaths/psychopaths and you is between adults. No, they will never change. They were born that way.

Talk to the other family and tell them how hurt your child feels It may have been an honest mistake and give them a chance to make up for it.
Maybe you should have put a seperate notice in the paper yourselves!
Your hubby should have spoken to family to include you
No. Your question asks about “I”. Your answer will always be NO
If it’s been repeated and addressed before don’t expect change.
When my mom died, I didn’t have a pre prepared write up and just put down what I could remember. My BIL (sis’s 4th husband) had grown children we’d never met. I forgot to include them and they got mad. It was an oversight, nothing intentional. I know you said your little one was close to him, but the person writing out the obit–may just not have thought of it. Perhaps your BF has had a frequent relationship turn over (just a thought) . . . . In the meantime, don’t sweat the small stuff. If something this minor is enough to sever a relationship, then I’d examine my relationship. Is your relationship with your BF or with his family?

It’s not actually about you, or your daughter. I know its a hard pill to swallow, but you’re actually not family until marriage. Your daughter is too young to understand, so really it’s your selfishness that is causing this. If you love your boyfriend, suck it up and be there for him. Even in actual family members, people get missed out during times of mourning.
