Teen Who Helped Her Parents Plan Their Wedding Finds Out She Isn’t Invited

She then took it to Reddit and elaborated that her parents had her when they were teenagers which explains why she is 14 years old now and seeing her parents get married. She said that they have been saving for years and they are now finally able to have the wedding of their dreams.

Since she is no more a kid but a mature teenager, her mother talks to her a lot about the wedding and she helps her mother in planning and coming up with ideas for her big day. She thinks that she played a very pivotal role in planning the wedding as her mother had been taking and implementing ideas given by her.

But one fine day, her mother revealed that they had decided to have a “no kids” wedding implying that “no kids” under the age of 21 were allowed at the wedding venue and there were no exceptions to the rule. This meant that their daughter was not invited to the wedding. When she explained to her mother that she was hurt by this decision, her mother responded that they had been dreaming about this day and they wanted to party like they could have if they had gotten married when they were younger. The teen thought it to be fair and accepted the decision before her mother broke another shocking thing to her which upset her even more.

Her mother told her that she would have to babysit her four very young cousins for the whole day so that her aunts could go to the wedding. This was not something she wanted to do, so she told her mother that she did not want to babysit all day when she should be at her parents’ wedding.

This resulted in a heated argument and her dad spoke to her later and pointed out that it was just one day and it was the least she could do to them after all the sacrifices they made for her in their youth.

The daughter then wanted to know if she was right for being upset about the whole situation. The people in the comment section supported the girl and said that she should have been an exception to the rule as she was their daughter.

One person wrote, “You do not owe your parents anything for doing the bare legal minimum of taking care of you. They chose to have a kid, and having a kid means sacrificing some of the things childfree people get to enjoy. Their choice should not lead to your obligation.”

Another one said that the parents are excluding her so she can babysit. They are truly selfish parents. They could have made it to no kids under 13. She further added that she is not obligated to babysit. Her aunts could hire someone to babysit in their home. She did not owe anything to her parents as they chose to have her.
