Being a mom isn't easy. In lue of Mother's Day, CheezCake is especially interested in all things moms. As a mom, not only do you have to carry kids, raise them, and deal with your husband, but you can be put in some sticky situations. The means to getting to a good place with the rest of the world is no small feat. As much as you try to please everyone, and put in effort for them, they may not have the gentleness to give you the appreciation you deserve. 

Having two daughters may seem like a walk in the park, and sometimes it is, but sometimes it's dramatic and cold. If the two girls don't get along, you could be in trouble. Having to mend a rift between them can result in some unwanted experiences. Trying to navigate between your two daughters isn't easy. Especially when one wants the other to postpone her wedding.

    "I'm finally getting married in two months' time after a year of planning and everything has been going to plan so far with no hiccups. That was until my mother called me earlier in the week to ask me to postpone my wedding by at least a month. My sister is currently pregnant and

    her due date is July 17th. My sister asked my mother to be there for her for the whole of July since the due date is just an estimate and this is her first baby.

    Long story short, the father of her child is my ex-boyfriend, whom she was sleeping with while we were dating. So we don't have a relationship with one another. I'm not willing to postpone my wedding for my sister and I told my mother that and also that she just simply needed to choose

    who she wanted to support. She's been fence-sitting and that's why we're here. She says I'm forcing her to make an impossible decision and my aunts are also trying to convince me to postpone.

    Don't get me wrong, I know she's also mum's child and wants her there for her but I also want her there for me and I've already waited a year for this and everything is already planned. Aita?

    Starry-Dust4444 • 20h ago NTA. No reason for your mother to be there for the entire month. That's preposterous. And your sister knew her due date for at least the last 6 months, so seems weird she'd just now ask your mom to come stay.

    Seems pretty obvious that your sister is trying to mess w/your life again. Refuse the request. Your mom can attend your wedding & still be there for the birth.

    NovaPrime1988 • 20h ago If your mother is willing to choose your sister over you, then you don't need her there in the first place. Your sister betrayed you in the worst of ways. It's possible she got pregnant knowing it would upstage your

    F... 20h ago Edited 18h ago NTA, your mom is ridiculous. Your sister the bed and she shouldn't be rewarding her by prioritizing her pregnancy and asking you to put your life on hold for betrayal. Your sister is a non issue for your decision

    don't want in your life. Up to your mother to make herself available for who she wants. That up to her only. She absolutely can do both. She is the one picking what matters to her. You do not have to accommodate her

    over your wedding. NTA at all OP. You certainly don't owe your sister a thing and surely your mum can take a day away from your sister and attend your wedding?

    I'm assuming you'll potentially lose out on money, and is your mum or aunts offering to pay any compensation if you were to postpone?
