When it comes to weddings, it's no surprise that the bride and groom want everything to be perfect for their special day. This often comes with making certain requests, such as no mobile phones, wearing certain colours or a child-free wedding. However, the latter can be quite controversial, and one woman is refusing to go to her sister's child-free wedding because she doesn't see the point in going to an event half the family would be missing from.
The woman took her dilemma to the Reddit forum AmITheAsshole to ask whether she was truly being unfair. She is the youngest of four sisters and doesn't have children herself, but two of her older sisters do. Her third sister, aged 27, is getting married at the end of the month and is having a child-free wedding because she is 'aggressively childfree' and they don't get along.
The woman's husband and future brother-in-law have a bad relationship, so the brother-in-law won't be attending the nuptials. To top it off, the woman's parents are quite elderly, so she decided to stay with the kids so her parents and sister could go to the wedding. However, her sister got very angry at the solution and said that the woman should come to the wedding instead.
The woman refused, saying that her sister was better company than her future brother-in-law, who had left her husband's sister pregnant and had celebrated when their child tragically died. Understandably, the comments on the Reddit post were pretty split, with some voting that the woman was in the wrong and others siding with her.
It's hard to say who is right in this situation, but it goes to show how divisive this kind of issue can be. Everyone's opinion will be different, and it's ultimately up to the woman and her sister to decide what to do.
