What would your stance be on this?
A mum has taken to an online forum, complaining about her brother’s wedding. She said that her brother didn’t want any kids to attend the wedding, however, she and her mother decided to bring the kids along – much to her husband’s dismay.
“My husband at this point wanted to leave kids at home. I refused.
“Arrived at reception. My husband and children were separated from me and actually put into an orangery type thing attached to the main room. They then sat in silence for two hours just speaking with the kids. No alcohol could be served in this veranda thing.
“Both my mum and I were in tears. My dad wanted to say something to brother but we didn’t let him. My husband went upstairs with kids and stayed there all night not letting anyone relieve him. He is completely pissed off with me saying he wanted to punch arsey brother-in-law of sister-in-law. He is saying to just leave it but I want to talk to my brother.
“Do people think this was my fault? We are actually still in hotel trying to have a holiday.”
However, many mums on the forum have replied to say it was totally unreasonable to bring kids along when no kids were allowed.
One said:
“A few points – not all weddings allow kids, that’s totally up to the bride and groom and I wouldn’t be happy if my family were kicking off about my decision tbh so on that front you and your mum are being unreasonable.
“Your husband sounds like a martyr – staying in room all night and not letting anyone relieve him. His comment about wanting to punch both bride and groom in face is unacceptable tbh.
“You and your mother being in tears screams drama llama to me – that’s just how it’s comes across.”
While another wrote:
“They didn’t want kids at their wedding. OPs family kicked up a fuss so having an area for kids to be looked after by one parent seems a fair enough compromise.”
“Crying and making a fuss at a siblings wedding is absolutely unforgivable.”
And one more questioned:
“Why did you have to insist on bringing your children when they didn’t want any? You’re sounding like the unreasonable one.”
What would you have done in this situation?
