  • 03
    I'm (24, F) getting married to my fiancé (28, M) in a few months, and I'm in the middle of planning everything. I love my sister, Emily (30, F), and we've always been close despite our differences. She has three kids (ages 5, 7, and 10), and while I love them, I don't see them often. The problem is that the last time they visited my
  • 04
    house, they left behind a trail of chaos that's made me question whether I want them at my wedding.

    A few months ago, Emily and her kids came to visit for the weekend. I was excited to spend time with them, but as soon as they walked in, things went sideways. They ran through my house, broke a vase, spilled juice on the carpet, and drew on my walls with crayon. I know kids can be messy, but this felt different.

    When Emily tried to help, the kids ignored her and were more interested in playing. The worst part was when my fiancé found one of the kids trying to climb on our dining table, which was a custom piece we saved up for.

    When they left, my house was in shambles. It took me two days to clean everything up, and I was left feeling frustrated and overwhelmed. I brought it up to Emily, and she said, "Kids will be kids," and that I shouldn't be so hard on them. I understand kids can be energetic and curious, but it felt like my boundaries were

    crossed, and my home wasn't respected.

    Now, as I'm planning my wedding, Emily has asked if she and the kids can come. She told me that her kids are excited to see me get married and that they would be on their best behavior. I wanted to say yes, but I can't forget how they treated my house. I've been stressing about it, and I finally told her that I'm
  • 10
    not comfortable having them at the wedding. I offered to let her come with her husband or a friend, but she's upset and says I'm being unreasonable and unfair.
  • 11
    Some of my friends have said I should let it go and let them come. Others say I have every right to set boundaries for my big day. I'm not sure if I'm overreacting or if I'm justified in saying no.

    Am I the ah le for refusing to let my sister's kids attend my wedding after the chaos they caused at my house?

    and you are not invited to any event I hold". That action shows something is going on that you really don't want to be a part of.

    The_Bad_Agent • 14h ago • ΝΤΑ Top 1% Commenter Your sister proved that she can't manage her kids in a private setting. A wedding? H I no.

    Tell her that if she was a better parent, you'd have thought differently. The fact that she chose to have #2 and #3, even though she's incapable is asinine. She chose her life. These are her consequences.
