    Font - 0,20 r/AmItheAsshole Posted by u/TASisterWeddimg 4 hours ago AITA for leaving before my sister's wedding ceremony started and leaving someone else in charge of my responsability? My (F)bsister got married on Friday. She and I are twins, so we are very close and best friends. She is child-free and I have 2 kids (3M and 1 M). Obviously she loves her nephews, she never mistreated them, but she is not a person who would accept being a babysitter for a day. She has never offered to help with a

    Font - My children stayed with my in-laws while my husband and I went to the wedding. About 10 minutes before everything started (I was there for 2 hours), my in-laws called saying that my youngest hit his head while playing with my oldest and that they were taking him to the hospital. I despaired, even though they said he was conscious, my heart was not at peace nor my husband's, so we decided to go to the hospital. I talked to the bridesmaid and explained everything I had to do, she accepted a

    Font - When I got home, several calls from different people and I answered when I saw my sister's. She asked before how my son was and when she learned that it was a minor injury, she started screaming saying that I abandoned her at the most important moment in her life and that she was without a family in her own marriage (no parents and grandparents). I left my responsibilities to a person who did everything wrong and caused an embarrassment and to make matters worse, I didn't even want to sho

She sounds a bit like a bridezilla. Her first concern (earlier in the post when you left the wedding) was that you'd "abandoned" her, and not whether your child was okay. I get that her day is important, but she's showing you where her priorities lie. 1.2k Reply Share

    Font - Korike0017 4 hr. ago Partassipant [4] This is one of those "inevitable hurt feelings that aren't really anyone's fault" situations. You had no choice but to go to your son's side- head trauma can be really scary especially when it's a child. Your sister is entitled to her hurt feelings about not having family on her wedding day, but she's overreacting and taking it out on you when you couldn't help it. NTA and you're right, your son's health and wellness are more important than your sibli

    Font - Blippii 4 hr. ago Partassipant [2]] NTA. I want to write this whole thing in caps. Your kids come before absolutely eveything else, ESPECIALLY when they go to the hospital. If they didn't go to hospital & things were ok at home, yea, stay for ceremony. But he was clearly bleeding and needed stitches! Your sister is the biggest asshole of all for not understanding. It seems that selfish people without kids will never understand that life is fundamentally different with kids. ↑ 449 Reply Sh

Your baby needed to go to the hospital, and I don't care how wonderful my husband is, there's no way I could function at a wedding or a party or anywhere else knowing that my child was in the hospital. OP, you needed to be there for your child as much (or more) than your child needed you there. And I keep thinking back to the actress, Natasha Richardson. She had what they thought was a minor head injury that turned out to be fatal hour

    Font - PessimistDreamer2013 4 hr. ago NTA. How were you supposed to know of the injury was truly minor until the doctor completed their tests? I understand bride doesn't want kids, but it's common sense that a parent would choose to be with their child in the hospital over, literally, anything. You don't have to like kids to understand that. I get it's her wedding day, but you think she would have a bit more concern. Not to mention, while stitches are minor, I don't know any parent that would le

    Font - ImmovsETF 3 hr. ago NTA. We are childfree and at our wedding the best man of my husband had to leave because his wife was suffering from mastitis. She called and said she could not stand the pain anymore so he (of course) went home to take care of the child and bring his wife to a doctor. The only thing we did was to pack him up with food, cake and coffee for his drive. It doesn't make him less of a friend because he could not be there. But it would us make less of friends if we wouldn't

I'm sorry your sister was upset, truly! It's not fair and she didn't deserve it but that doesn't mean you did something wrong. Your youngest is 1 and needed stitches, that's a big deal for a baby whether or not there are internal injuries. I'm sure your in-laws are wonderful but in this situation a child needs their parents.

    Font - keenbeeper 3 hr. ago edited 3 hr. ago . This one feels hard for me but the difference maker is that if the injury, albeit minor, was enough to be scary, it was better FOR YOUR SON that you were there ASAP. It sucks that you missed her wedding. That's horrid for her and I was almost on the cusp of saying you were the asshole. But then I think of, minor or major injury, how that little boy probably just really wanted his parents. I know the first time my little brother went to the hospital

Yes it turned out to be non-life threatening/minor but it just have easily could have been far more serious and you had no choice but to go. Your sister needs a perspective check big time.

It was stitches and an overnight stay. Sure your husband could have stayed and you went back but you would not have been mentally or emotionally present at the reception. Your sister is upset and acting entitled. I understand her being upset you weren't there but her nephew got injured. Give her space and hopefully
