Karen Mother Treats Wedding As Her Own Event, Brings Her Kids, Rearranges Tables

It takes bravery for someone to show up to an event to which they are not invited or to bring their children, who are not permitted to go. There is a limited number of guests for each event, and family members are invited based on the number of people that are allowed on the list. Those who go beyond the mark permit others to speak poorly of them.

OP and her spouse reserved a three-day summer camp packed with exciting activities and arranged their wedding there. Since they could not fit all the friends and relatives in one place, they chose to designate another location as a kids’ area where all the kids could play and watch the movie. OP’s father-in-law informed them about their aunt, with whom her husband was not so close; she wanted to bring her kids to the wedding. They accepted their wish and explained to her their assigned place for the kids. On the wedding day, her husband’s aunt brought her kids with her and refused to send them to the kid’s area.

1. OP talks about how her husband’s cousin brought her kids to their wedding ceremony even though they were not invited.

2. OP and her husband decided to get married at a summer camp so they rented the camp for three full days including all the sports for the guests.

3. OP could not fit all the guests in one place so they decided to uninvite all the kids outside of immediate family. The babies and infants were welcomed to enjoy a nap and playroom at a separate location.

4. OP’s husband was confused about receiving a call from his aunt who is not on close terms with him. She asked to bring her kids to the wedding but OP suggested to adjust them in the movie room.

5. Over the wedding weekend, the aunt arrived along with her kids. OP and her husband met them for the first time. OP offered to walk the kids to the kid’s party but the aunt disagreed and brought them along to dinner.

6. The aunt dared to pull up two extra chairs for her kids while giving devil eyes to OP’s husband. The kids were EVERYWHERE, disturbing everyone.

7. At the reception, OP rearranged seating rather than fighting the aunt but the aunt wanted to create more drama so she rearranged three more tables. The kids were photobombing every picture ruining precious moments for OP.

8. On top of it, the aunt only gifted $15 to the couple. Such a Shame!

Now that you’ve heard the story, let’s dive into what Redditors had to say. Keep reading to discover other people’s perspectives on the matter.

9. Redditor suggested asking the aunt to leave the dinner immediately if she wanted to stay with her kids.

10. Redditor is right about being vocal, people should understand what NO means!

11. Aunt did crap and got away with it because OP and her husband wanted to keep the peace.

12. Redditor is suggesting OP be bold and confident and put aunt into her place.

13. OP should have kicked the aunt out.

14. OP could have escorted the aunt with her kids immediately with the help of other people.

15. Redditors are blaming OP and her husband for this drama.

16. OP should not have invited aunt in the first place if she was not that close.

17. Redditor is right about *Stop letting people walk all over you*.

18. OP should send them a bill but at the same time, they let it happen.

19. OP should have ignored the devil eyes and stayed firm on her decision.

20. OP should learn how to say NO. Period.

OP and her husband could not resist to their aunt’s persistence in including her children in an older event since they wanted to keep the peace in an important event of their marriage. The whole drama would become more violent if they reprimanded their aunt for her absurd behavior since she did not want to follow the rules of the events so they had to accommodate her children unwillingly. They should talk to their father to teach his cousins some manners and force her to send her kids to the place assigned to them. OP might not interfere because the aunt was her husband’s relative, but her husband can come forward to make her understand the situation. They did not make an issue at that time, but it would affect their whole marriage as all relatives felt bad about discriminating against her aunt’s kids from others.
