“My sister is getting remarried and she wants a very small wedding with only immediate family.
Yesterday we got her wedding invitation and to my surprise, it said that the wedding is childfree and my child isn’t invited. My child is 17, going 18 soon. By the way, my child is the only one under 18 in our family (and in the groom’s family) so she is the only one being excluded.
I called my sister and asked her if she is serious? She said I’m sorry but we have decided that we want a child-free wedding. I told her to just say you want a “my child” free wedding and get over with it because this is exactly what you are doing. We got into an argument and she told me to stop throwing a tantrum and that my child doesn’t need to be included in everything. I told her that we won’t be attending her wedding then and she called me a jerk for not supporting her.”

“The people defending the sister in this with the “her wedding/her rules” are so infuriating. It’s anti-social behavior, exclusionary, and just not nice. I’m proud of you for defending your daughter OP. The people acting like she’s not a person with feelings, an entire human being because she is 17 are entirely disgusting and there’s absolutely no justification for it. I wouldn’t support my sister doing that either. This isn’t some friend and OP’s daughter isn’t some auxiliary guest. She’s a member of the family, and the only one being excluded. You’re definitely NTJ.” itshowswhoyouare

“That’s a weird one lol. I feel like normally it would be a “their wedding, their rules” situation and I’d say grow up and get over it, BUT this is not that situation. Your grown (pretty much) child is literally the only one being excluded. I can’t even imagine what is probably going through that 17 y/o girl’s head right now. She’s probably wondering why her family doesn’t like her. You should definitely talk to her and make sure she knows that some people are just ridiculous about their stupid wedding and that she didn’t do anything wrong. Make sure she knows this is not her fault somehow.” __Grim_The_Reaper__
