His Job Was To Keep His Sister’s Kids From Making A Scene At Her Wedding And She’s Mad He Wasn’t Able To Do That
A man’s sister got married two weeks ago, and she gave him the job of making sure her kids wouldn’t cause a scene at her wedding.
19 months ago, his sister’s husband died of cancer, and his 11-year-old nephew Tyler and 10-year-old niece Cayleigh have had a very difficult time dealing with the loss of their dad.
His sister began dating 9 months after her husband passed away, which caused even more stress for Tyler and Cayleigh.
He thinks his sister moved on in a way that others might consider to be quick since she had known her husband was going to pass and grieved a lot before he did.
He did admit that he and the rest of his family believed she would take her time getting married, though that wasn’t the case.
4 months after dating, her sister got engaged to her boyfriend, and when her kids found out they were beside themselves.
“They have cried on my shoulder several times because they don’t get how their mom could get married again,” he explained.
“And they don’t get what they’re supposed to like about the new guy. My nephew even said he doesn’t get how he’s supposed to love him and think of him a new dad or even a new member of the family when their family was so good before and now they’ll never have a good family again.”
He’s done his very best to try to make Tyler and Cayleigh feel better about their mom’s decision, and he knows a thing or two about losing a loved one since his brother passed away many years ago.

Well, the day of his sister’s wedding arrived and he was tasked with making sure Tyler and Cayleigh kept it together, which was hard because they were having a very hard time with the wedding.
During the ceremony, Tyler and Cayleigh had to leave to cry, and his sister was livid with him for not being able to prevent it.
His sister completely expected him to be able to keep Tyler and Cayleigh present without making a scene.
The worst part was that he could not keep the kids from sobbing, although he tried to make them feel better as best that he could.
“Those kids are devastated by the marriage. And I mean they are in so much pain because of it,” he said.
A few days post wedding, his sister reamed him out for not having “done more.” She accused him of allowing her kids to ruin her wedding since all the guests could clearly see how upset they were.
It’s wild that his sister thought he could have done something else to keep the kids from being so sad, but that’s how she feels.
His sister then said she did not consider him to be supporting her life change and she wants him in the future to do more to assist her with getting the kids to come around to her new husband.
He did stand up for himself, pointing out that she did nothing about making sure her kids were comfortable and approving before jumping into a second marriage.
He also mentioned she should get her kids into therapy.
“She called me unsupportive, judgmental of her decision and said I lacked compassion for her loss, her grief and her need for adult love,” he concluded.
