Today, I took my parents and 3 sisters to the airport so they could take a trip to Hawaii. I wasn't invited because they don't like my husband. They asked me to watch the dog and water the plants. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my parents invited all their kids and grandkids to join them on a vacation trip to the mountains; all their kids except me, that is. I'm not invited. But they did invite my ex-husband. And his new girlfriend. FML
Today, my parents, my two sisters and their significant others went on a vacation and dropped their children at my house without ever asking me. I'm single, live alone, and can barely make ends meet, and they know it. FML
Today, as planned, my dad confirmed that he would be flying up to visit me for the weekend. Not planned, however, was that my whiny and high-maintenance sister invited herself along too. There's no way I can dis-invite her without offending my dad. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I was sure I didn't want to join them on a family trip tomorrow with my sister. I was never invited, and unlike the rest of the family, I have a full-time job where I can't just take days off with no warning. This is how they announce most "family trips" to me. FML
Today, I had to watch my husband and kids go off on our trip to Hawaii without me because I forgot my wallet at home and couldn't afford to take a later flight. FML
Today, my sister and I were planning a trip to get away from things and visit some faraway friends. My dad then decided to insert himself into our plans. He got mad when we said no, and couldn't understand why we wanted to go by ourselves. FML
Today, my whole family called me ungrateful and my parents are threatening to ground me because I turned down an invitation to go with my extended family to Hawaii for spring break. I literally just started a new part-time job, but they won't listen. FML
Today, my parents asked me if I would dog-sit for them while they go to my ex's wedding. FML
Today, my whole family made an hour-long drive to a restaurant that's just a few minutes away from my place. I wasn't invited. FML
Today, my parents canceled our trip to Greece because my siblings were being brats. When I tried to point out that I wasn't doing anything, they just shrugged and said, "Sorry honey." FML

Without knowing all parties, hard to say who is the right. Your family may be intolerant, or husband may be genuinely difficult.

You should go on a trip with your husband to somewhere and not invite them

I think the hurt here is the part where Mom made it a point to invite everyone BUT her. She could have declined to watch the dog/plants. For all we know, each sister is paying for her own trip, or it was a gift the Mom could afford. For all we know, Husband is just fine only black, Jewish, or hey the same gender as the OP. Who knows! Sure, he could be an asshole but still, it would still be immature in any case to purposely not invite her. Sounds like only the ladies were going anyway

In these types of situations, it works best to quote Mr. Garrison from South Park: "You go to hell!!!! You go to hell and you die!!!!"

that sucks for you, but I do understand your family's position, I have a sister who I rarely see because I hate her husband so much. I think he's a pervert and it upsets me so much to see him BECAUSE I love my sister and I know she'd be better off without him.

**** them. If they won't support you and deal with your hubby, don't help them leave you behind.

Feed the dog, kill the plants.
