Family dynamics are tough to navigate, don\u2019t you think<\/a>?<\/p>\n People fall on different sides of the spectrum when it comes to various issues, and they sometimes take stands on things that pit family member against family member.<\/p>\n It can get ugly!<\/p>\n And when you add kids and their feelings to the mix, things can get even uglier.<\/p>\n In today\u2019s story, a woman opened up about why she and her family decided not to go to her brother\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n Get all the details below, and see what you think.<\/p>\n \u201cLast May, my brother and his Fianc\u00e9e decided that they wanted to get married next year (now this year) and started making all of the preparations in August of last year, booked the wedding for June this year.<\/p>\n His fianc\u00e9e asked me to be one of her bridesmaids and for my daughter (15 months old at the time) to be the flower girl and bought her a lovely bag with a silver bracelet, a teddy, and a heartfelt note asking her to be flower girl.<\/p>\n Fast forward to January of this year and my brother mentions something about my daughter not being able to walk down the aisle because she is slightly delayed with her development. He told me we would have a conversation about it to figure something out, but that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n This is pretty darn rude\u2026<\/p>\n In February, his fianc\u00e9e sent me a very lengthy text detailing why she doesn\u2019t think my daughter will be able to do it because she still isn\u2019t walking, went on to say that they are going to stick to a child-free wedding and that no kids are coming and they don\u2019t want to make people feel left out by not being able to bring their kids, whilst my daughter is flower girl.<\/p>\n Look, I get it. It\u2019s your wedding, you do whatever you want, I obviously have no problem with that.<\/p>\n What I do have a problem with, is the fact that the fianc\u00e9e gave my daughter these beautiful gifts and heartfelt note, only to turn around and say the wedding was actually childfree in the first place and that she doesn\u2019t think my daughter is up to it.<\/p>\n Now, for a start, why would you even ask my daughter to be flower girl when the wedding was child free from the start? It makes no sense to me, but whatever. I also did not like the fact that my brother and myself were meant to have a conversation about this, but I got a lengthy text (of all things) about it.<\/p>\n You can understand why she\u2019d be upset about this.<\/p>\n So, I told my brother that I would not be able to attend his wedding due to not being able to get childcare, as all of my family are going to the wedding and my friend who usually babysits will be on holiday, so we have nobody else to watch her.<\/p>\n The wedding is this weekend, so nursery wouldn\u2019t have been an option either.<\/p>\n AITA for not attending?<\/p>\n Because I\u2019m being given the silent treatment by my brother\u2019s fianc\u00e9e and she has been making sarcastic posts on Facebook about the whole ordeal.<\/p>\n Oh, and my daughter is walking confidently now, by the way. All they had to do was have a conversation with me, but she jumped the gun and went straight to uninviting my daughter. Meanwhile, she has one of her dogs as a ring bearer.\u201d<\/p>\n If you enjoyed this story, check out this post<\/a> about a woman who doesn\u2019t want to go to the amusement park with her friend anymore, because the friend can no longer ride most of the attractions.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s what readers had to say about this on Reddit.<\/p>\n This person said they\u2019re NTA.<\/p>\n Another individual weighed in.<\/p>\n Never Miss a Story<\/p>\n Sign up to get our BEST stories of the week straight to your inbox.<\/p>\n This reader spoke up.<\/p>\n And this person shared their thoughts.<\/p>\n Well, you can\u2019t really blame her for feeling this way, can you?<\/p>\n You can say that again!<\/p>\n Hopefully, she and her brother can work this out and smooth things over.<\/p>\n Time will tell\u2026<\/p>\n I think a lot of people out there would\u2019ve reacted the same way!<\/p>\n If you enjoyed this story, check out this post<\/a> about a woman who doesn\u2019t want to go to the amusement park with her friend anymore, because the friend can no longer ride most of the attractions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
