    Font - AITA for having my daughter first birthday the same day as my step sisters wedding? My mom got remarried after my parents divorce and her new husband brought along my step sister. I lived with my dad mostly because I did not want anything to do with a new sibling and had pretty much no relationship with her and hated that my mom treated her like a daughter. I wasn't the nicest to her but I felt like she was taking my place.

    Font - Fast forward to now she is getting married I wasn't invited since we have no relationship whatever I didn't invite her to mine either. This issue is I planned my daughters first birthday and when I told my mom she said it can't be that day because it's my Step sisters wedding and can we change it to the next weekend so people don't have to choose which to go to.

    Font - I said no my step sisters wedding is at 8pm my daughters party is at 1pm people can do both but almost everyone on my moms sides rsvped no to her birthday party because of the wedding and travel. Even my own mother said she can't make it because she will be at step sisters wedding and getting ready all day. I'm pissed how can she choose a step daughter over her own grandchild. Everyone is picking this girl who isn't even really family over my daughter. My mom says to just change the party

    Font - IAmLurker2020. 3 hr. ago Partassipant [1] This shows resentment at her mother. I'm wondering how the mom introduced the step sister to the OP. What did she do to foster a relationship between them. If she constantly put her step sister ahead of her own child. I can understand the resentment. She is still TA, but I can understand why. 1.4k Reply

    Font - mdthomas 4 hr. ago . 20 Judge, Jury, and Excretion... YTA You know, we know it, everyone knows it. People aren't simply going to do both events. Very few people are going to want to come to a 1 year old's birthday party then go to an adult wedding. You knew about he conflict and went ahead with it anyway, despite the fact that moving it would not affect your child in any way. You're trying to play the victim here when this is all under your control. Please seek therapy. 7.4k Reply Share

    Font - Gaslighting-Survivor • 2 hr. ago Partassipant [1] That's what stuck out to me. No one on her mother's side was willing to come to the daughter's birthday? How horrible must OP be?

    Font - BrownMan65. 2 hr. ago Also a first birthday party is only for the parents. The child will never remember, and frankly probably will never care who came even when they're old enough to go through pictures and videos of the event. A wedding is for the people who are getting married and they absolutely will remember the event and the people that came. Plus weddings are just more fun than a 1 year olds birthday. It's not even a hard choice that she gave all the guests. 156 Reply

    Font - Zupergreen 3 hr. ago You're trying to play the victim here when this is all under your control. Not only that she's trying to make it sound like her daughter will suffer greatly if her mum doesn't come. No she bloody won't. She's 1 years old and will have no recollection of the event, she also won't care one bit because she will have no clue what's going on.

    Font - A child's first birthday is for the sake of the parents not the child. And I say that as a mother of three. There's nothing wrong with wanting to celebrate your child's first birthday, but there's most definitely something wrong with trying to turn a baby's birthday party into a popularity contest. 317 Reply Share

    Font - rbollige 2 hr. ago I was surprised I had to go this far down to see this pointed out. Lol, the 1-yr-old is going to really miss all her friends and relatives not traveling in from out of town to see her birthday bash. It will without a doubt be the worst birthday party she's had to date.

    Font - capaldithenewblack - 3 hr. ago I'm not a fan of the 1-year- old party. I get why extroverts love a chance to host, but it's not really for the kid. We did a small one for my (now adult) kids with only us and grandparents.
