Woman Doesn't Go To Friend's Wedding Because Her Kids Were Not Invited To The Wedding And Can't Get A Babysitter
Welcome back to another post today, where we'll be looking into an AITA thread post from Reddit. These thread posts are where people come to see whether or not they are in the wrong for something they did or said during a situation.
Sometimes it's just best to get some sort of unbiased opinion on the internet about situations instead of asking those around you who may have a skewed vision of the situation or a bias towards someone involved. With this being said, we're looking into a situation where a woman wants to know if she's in the wrong for not going to her friend's wedding.
She misread the invitation and didn't double-check until the last minute, only to find out that her kids were not invited and that it was a kid-free wedding. This put her in a hard place because she had no one to watch her kids and, therefore, couldn't attend the wedding.
People actually had a lot to say in the comments for such a simple post, but it seems like people really didn't think she played it smart by not double-checking until the last minute. So, if you're interested in hearing the full situation and seeing what people had to say in the comments, then keep on reading as we dive into the details.
OP explains her situation from beginning to end and describes the timeline of event so we understand why she is not attending.
u/Suspicious_Net8232OP asked someone else to tell the bride that she wouldn't be going but OP wants to know if she's TA for not going due to childcare.
u/Suspicious_Net8232People started out heavy in the comments and already told OP that she was TA for this because of her deciding factor and the fact that she told her last minute.
DoYouHaveAnyIdea16People were also judging her for even considering bringing her baby to the wedding because most weddings are not kid-friendly.
FireMoon42Many people stated how the biggest issue is that this started months earlier and she didn't bother to read the invitation fully until it was too late to make accomodations.
Individual_Ad_9213It does seem like although OP is explaining herself, she is taking after her actions and says she should apologize for the way that she handled things.
Suspicious_Net8232This is one thing that I noticed too because I feel it's odd to invite someone to one or the other honestly.
GrapeGatsby23OP gave us lots of responses in the comments to people where she explained more about the situation and why she did what she did.

Some people did agree with OP though and said that OP was NTA in this situation and says that maybe the girl isn't the friend that OP thought she was.

People had some differing opinions in the comment section, which really made it hard to see if OP was in the wrong or not for this. Some people felt like OP was irresponsible with the invite, while others were telling her that maybe the woman wasn't as good of a friend as she thought.
