Wedding season's in full bloom, and it seems like we're regularly reading stories about people being their absolute worst selves. There's just something about the highly emotional event that inspires people to cave for breakdowns, BS behavior, and outright inexcusable rudeness.

    Text - r/AmltheAsshole + JOIN u/waftingthrowaway 1d AITA for pulling my child from my friend's wedding after seeing a post she made about her online? Not the A-hole The wedding is in 6 months. To be clear, my husband and I are gay and we were going to attend the wedding but I wasn't going to be in it. (It was discussed at length, but I didn't want to be the one bridesgroom or whatever) My friend "V" has a great relationship with my 5 y/o and is like an aunt. V asked if she could at least be a fl

    Text - Two weeks ago, V and some friends/family went dress shopping. I couldn't because my grandma was having surgery that day and I was the only one available/willing to help out. V was a bit bummed and asked if she could bring my kid. I agreed, but explained she'd have to supervise if she went. V said there'd be plenty of people to watch her, so I let her go. When V dropped her off, everyone was all smiles. My kid apparently had a ball. But several days later a mutual friend sent me a link to

    Text - *Not usually bratty but def thinks the sun rises and sets on her IMO. I told her in the car she had to behave and be helpful bc this day was important. But after we got there, she had ppl fussing over her and giving her dresses to try on (when I already said we were not buying her dress today!!) basically making sure shed be the center of attention.*

    Text - She interrupted more than once when ppl commented on the dresses I tried on bc her opinion just HAD to be heard. Usually the comments were not too useful and a tad bit rude IMO. Like I tried on one lacy formfitting dress that I looooved. Before anyone else could say a word she pipes up with "I think its kinda ugly!" Like thaaaanks kid. Geez.* *Knocked over a rack of very expensive accessories - after being told TWWICE that most things in this shop were fragile and to touch things gently O

    Text - I was hurt and confronted V. To her credit, V fessed up/apologized. V said it was just a long day and she was venting. I admitI snapped a bit. First off, I never intended to send my kid in the first place! And if there was a problem, why wouldn't you tell me rather than make a post that anyone could find? Tultimately told V my kid will no longer be in the wedding and that my husband and I think it's best we just don't attend. Our friend group is split in terms of who they've sided with. A

    Text - oliverjbrown 1d Partassipant [1] NTA. Why did she drag a 5 year old on this trip if she wasn't going to buy her a dress?

    Text - Nonsuperstites 1d Certified Proctologist [33] NTA. Competing with a 5 year old for attention and rants about it online. Mother of all pettiness.

    Text - rbartlett01 1d Partassipant [1] NTA. It sounds like she expected a 5 year old kid to act like a prop in her day. It was obviously an inappropriate venue for her and she is going to still be her adorable self at the wedding as well. You wouldn't want people paying attention to the sweet flower girl over the bride.

    Text - coffeemanic 1d NTA She's a five year old. Her post reads like she's getting in a catfight with a friend. Aiming it at a god damn child is straight up disturbing.

    Text - 8BitGiant 1d Asshole Aficionado [13] NTA, your child is 5. It just seems like your friend doesn't know how to deal with kids.

    Text - dont_agree_with_me 21h Partassipant [1] NAH, people let their frustrations out online, most of this sub is just people venting, and you are currently using a throwaway account to talk about your friend behind her back. Its weird to rant about a five year old getting more attention than you but she never let any of her frustrations out on the kid irl, posted anonymously and apologised immediately. But if you don't want you or your child to attend that's completely your choice

    Text - WinryBattleCorgi 1d NAh I say this because it was posted anonymously and she didn't take it out on your kid. I think we are allowed to vent, we just need to be smart about it. It's whyi never kept a diary or blog of angry things because people could find it and use it against me. You did the right thing. i'm not sure what your friend expected. She asked the kid to come along and expected what? Perfectly behaved child? I think you behaved well and not attending is 100% okay

    Text - EllyStar 1d Partassipant [1] NTA. You are well within your rights not to attend the wedding and be perfectly justified. If you want to continue the friendship otherwise, that's totally up to you. I think it's good that your friend confessed, and you can proceed however you want. (l also think it's really important that you have the screenshots of what was posted, so you have "insurance" if your friend decides to badmouth you.) I'm sorry this happened. How disappointing of her as a friend.

    Text - Delta-Star 19h NAH, I can understand your decision to remove yourselves from the wedding if that's what you and your husband think is best, but at the same time weddings can be very stressful. As she said she was probably just venting over your kid being a kid, plus she did apologize and remove the post. Your friend could've behaved herself better, but l don't think she's being totally out of line.

    Text - Prettybirdgrayson 21h Seriously? She posted a rant anonymously because she was having a hard time. She didn't come to you and tell you that your kid sucks, and all the reasons your kid sucks. And then, after someone outed her anonymous rant to you, she apologized. And has obviously taken it down But sure, refuse to attend one of the most important events in your friend's life. So long as you're willing to end the friendship over an anonymous rant post. But tbh, you all seem like petty hig
