Younger siblings never realize they're the Golden Child. Mom and Dad finally got the little girl they wanted and big brother is left out in the cold—for the rest of his life. 

This older brother saw the full extent of his family's favoritism when it came to his honeymoon day. Postponed over a year after his actual nuptials due to financial struggle, he and his wife were finally destined for the luxurious honeymoon vacation they deserved. Except, his younger sister couldn't stand that big brother was finally in the limelight. 

Instead of graciously letting her sibling have his weekend in the sun, she stole the show and planned a last-minute elopement with her fiance at the same resort, demanding after the fact that he gives up his honeymoon sweet so she and her new hubby could have a proper wedding night. Sorry little sis, but this vacation has been in the books far longer than you've had a ring on your finger.

  • Although I'm the youngest in my family, I'm far from the favorite. Growing up independent and self-reliant meant that I was the ‘easy’ child, making my parents dote on my sister instead. While it hurts whenever your parents take the side of your sibling, nothing hurts anymore for the man in this next story because he knew his parents would guilt trip him. Fortified with conviction, he adamantly refused and finally went no-contact after their asinine requests.

    My (29M) wife (28F) and I got married last year, but due to financial reasons, we postponed our honeymoon until this year. We finally booked a week-long trip at a beautiful resort, and we

  • Call the resort. And make sure they know you are the one checking g in for the room and it's not for the wedding. They might try to spin it so they get it first.

  • sjyffl NTA Sounds like they - chose to have their wedding at the resort so they could extort you into giving up your vacation!

  • First-Lengthiness-16 So you booked a holiday/vacation at a resort and they coincidentally booked the same resort at the exact same time for their wedding?? Hmmm.....

  • Shoddy-Ad-367 NTA. If they want to comp you for your entire stay and pay to redo your trip later, i might consider to save a couple bucks....but i would probably still say no. Its your honeymoon, not theirs

  • Beginning Ad9070 First of all, that's disgusting. Because really what's happening here is your sister and her fiancé want to screw all over your bed and hotel room on their wedding night. Secondly, they should be having the wedding they can afford instead of trying to take what you paid for and acting entitled. NTA

  • mostankus It's almost like they chose that resort on purpose hoping this would happen.
