This woman has been married to her husband for nearly four years, but for the last two years, she has been a full-time student working to get her career “on track.”

Now, though, she is finally wrapping up the end of her last semester. That’s why she and her husband want to start their family and begin trying to have a baby at the end of this year.

However, her sister’s boyfriend is also planning to propose to her sister in the spring.

“Which isn’t a surprise to my sister because she’s been pushing him towards that idea,” she said.

Instead, the real issue is that, following the engagement, her sister is projecting to have the wedding in March of 2025 and really doesn’t want her to be pregnant at the event. So, her sister actually asked her to delay her plans to have kids until after the nuptials!

In response to that, she flat-out told her sister “no” and explained the timeline she plans to follow in order to start her family.

“My plan is to stop drinking and start prenatal this summer so that we can start trying in November,” she explained.

Well, her sister became super upset after hearing that– mainly because she won’t be able to drink with her sister at the reception. On top of that, one of their mutual friends also claimed that “no one wants a pregnant maid of honor” at their wedding since she will likely take on that role at her sister’s ceremony.

Still, in her mind, she wouldn’t even “show” at her sister’s wedding even if she did get pregnant within the first month of trying for a baby.

Additionally, she isn’t even interested in drinking at her sister’s big day, regardless of whether she’s expecting or not.

“I’ve been preparing to stop drinking four months prior to trying, and if I drink at her wedding, I would drink a lot and basically restart my clock,” she detailed.

Lastly, she really just doesn’t think it’s fair for her sister to expect her to pause her family plans just so she can “have fun” and drink alcohol at the wedding.

Nonetheless, with her sister now upset, she can’t help but wonder if her sister’s being unfair or if she’s just being selfish by planning to get pregnant by the time her sister gets married.

Do you agree that her sister’s request was unfair or not? Should she have to delay her plans to have a family for one evening? What would you do in her shoes?
