Bride tells sister she's not welcome after wedding demand about her baby

“She blew up at me and said I’m supposed to support her on her day,” the young mum revealed.

A 29-year-old woman spilled the tea about her sister's upcoming wedding and the drama that ensued. 

The sister, who's tying the knot in a few weeks, had planned a kid-free wedding, leaving the original poster in a bit of a parenting pickle.

The mum shared to the popular ‘Am I the asshole’ thread, “My (29f) sister (26f) is getting married in a few weeks and she sent me a (sic) invitation. 

“She wants a child-free wedding, and since I have no one to watch my baby I wouldn’t be able to go so I asked her if she could make an exception so I could go.”

Not taken so well

Simple, right? Not so much.

Instead of accommodating her sister’s request, the bride-to-be called her an asshole and accused her of making her whole life about her son.

“I told her I had no one to watch my son so I wouldn’t be able to go but it’s also fine that she doesn’t want to make an exception.”

The original poster went on to reveal her sister suggested she leave her baby with her new neighbours.

“She suggested that I asked neighbors to watch him but I didn’t really like that idea because I’m new to the neighborhood and don’t really know anybody.

“I told her that, and she blew up at me and said I’m supposed to support her on her day.”

Strangers to the rescue

Reddit users had the young mum’s back, with one saying, "Asking once for an exception doesn’t make you an asshole. Her refusing wouldn’t make her an asshole if she’d done it politely. 

“…Accusing you of making your whole life revolve around your son? That's the real AH move."

Some folks speculated that the sister's frustration might be about more than just the baby drama. 

One user added, "Most probably, there are more people cancelling because they are in the same position as [original poster], and the sister decided to let all her frustration out on [her]."

Bridezilla or in the right?

As the comments rolled in, the conversation shifted from the mum’s situation to the general vibe of putting restrictions on weddings. 

The consensus? It's cool to set rules, but you gotta be ready for consequences. 

One user dropped the truth bomb, saying, "A person is not an AH for declining an invitation because of the restriction."

The drama didn't stop there. Some users got real about the struggle of balancing personal preferences with family commitments. 

The thread turned into a wild ride, showing that weddings aren't just about love – they're also a recipe for uncovering family tensions.

Is there a right or wrong answer?

As someone who had a child-free wedding, I definitely can appreciate the bride's wish.

However, if it were my nephew, there wouldn't be a question I'd want them at my special day, at least for some of it.

I'd work with my sister to see what we could do to make it work; but then again, that's just me.
