She Doesn’t Want To Attend Her Dad’s Fourth Wedding Because Children Aren’t Allowed, And She Thinks Her Dad’s Fiancée Is Behind The Rule
This 27-year-old woman’s father, who is 73, will be getting married for the fourth time. And honestly, she is not very excited about welcoming her father’s latest fiancée into her family.
But she loves her father, which is why she initially planned to go to the wedding anyway.
However, when she received the wedding invite, it clearly stated that no children were allowed.
Now, she has three kids– two of her children are 7-years-old, and her youngest is 5-years-old. Her sister also has five kids and lives states away. So, she was taken aback that the wedding was child-free.
Her father thought it was fine, though, and initially just wanted her mother to stay back and watch all eight kids at a nearby hotel by herself.
“My sister and I were not comfortable with that,” she recalled.
Regardless, her dad did not stop trying to find other solutions. Just last weekend, at her child’s birthday party, for instance, he asked her in-laws if they would be willing to watch her children that weekend.
But she already lives two hours away from her father’s wedding venue. Plus, her in-laws live an additional two hours away.
“Not to mention, my partner has to work the day after, and we have one vehicle,” she added.

To make matters even worse, she is supposed to attend a friend’s wedding the day right before her dad’s ceremony, and her friend is allowing children at the event. So, she’s been having a very difficult time understanding why her father doesn’t want his grandchildren at his wedding.
“If my kids were ill-mannered, I’d understand. But they’re not,” she explained. “We always get compliments when we’re out about how well-behaved they are.”
She knows it’s not a monetary concern, either, since her father wouldn’t even have to pay for plates for her kids at the event. Instead, she was just going to purchase the children some McDonald’s to eat beforehand.
Finally, she doesn’t think her dad’s wedding venue is anything fancy. It’s actually going to be much more low-key, with a small-town family vibe, and she’s been to plenty of events that were much more “fancy” and still allowed children.
This has led her to believe that it’s her dad’s fiancée who doesn’t want the kids there.
“I feel like this is her idea as her grandkids are all adults, so the only ones who’d be missing out are great-grandkids, and they are babies,” she revealed.
That’s why she plans to call her sister to talk it over as well as her father. But, as of right now, she doesn’t really want to attend her dad’s wedding anymore, and she’s not sure whether that makes her a jerk or not.
Is her father allowed to have a child-free wedding? At the same time, does she have a right not to attend if she doesn’t want to? How would you handle this situation?
