Her Sister Wanted To Break Her No-Kids Rule And Bring A Newborn To Her Wedding, So She Banned Her Sister From The Event
This 28-year-old woman is currently engaged, and she and her fiancé, who is 30, will be tying the knot in just two months.
So, they started planning their wedding over a year ago, and early on, they decided that they wanted both their ceremony and reception to be child-free.
“We love kids,” she clarified, “But we also wanted an adult-only atmosphere for our special day.”
She and her fiancé made their child-free policy very clear on their wedding invitations, too, so all of their guests were aware.
However, her own 32-year-old sister is still trying to bend the rules.
For some context, her sister just gave birth to her first baby about three months ago.
“She’s been a great mom, and I’m happy for her,” she said.
The issue is that her sister keeps insisting on bringing the baby to her wedding – which she’s not okay with.
She tried re-explaining her no-kids policy and actually offered to pay for a babysitter on the night of her nuptials. Yet, her sister just refused to budge.

Apparently, her sister claimed that she just couldn’t bear to be away from her newborn baby for a full day and night.
“And she accused me of being unsupportive and unreasonable,” she revealed.
This whole situation led her and her sister to have several discussions – which got pretty heated. In the end, she ultimately said that if her sister couldn’t respect her and her fiancé’s wishes, then her sister shouldn’t attend her wedding at all.
Since then, her parents have heard about all the drama and are furious with her for laying down the law like that.
“[They’re] saying I’m tearing the family apart and prioritizing my ‘childish’ rules over my sister’s feelings,” she vented.
Thankfully, some of her friends have taken her side, but others still believe she’s being too harsh.
So now, she’s not sure if banning her sister from her wedding for refusing to leave her newborn at home was justified or not.
Can you understand why her sister doesn’t want to leave her baby? At the same time, should she have to compromise her child-free wedding? What would you do in her shoes?
