When you’re planning your wedding, you probably take a few things into account when you sit down to pick a date.
One of them is surely going to be the availability of your immediate family members to attend your wedding. And for it to not clash with events like, I don’t know, the birth of your sister’s child.
Yep, you’d think you’d want to rule out the whole month around that due date, right?
Well, no, actually.
One man faced with this problem decided to go right ahead and set his wedding for the same time as his sister’s due date. And forced his mother to choose whether to miss the birth of her grandchild (and, let’s be honest, the pretty painful and really very dangerous process that is childbirth) or her son’s wedding.
That is way harsh.
When his mother responded to this clash with the decision to attend the birth, not his wedding, her son turned to Reddit. He clearly hoped it would validate his belief his mother had made the wrong call.
“My mom [60F] is choosing my sister [30F] giving birth over my [33M] wedding,” he wrote under the pen name ‘sadsonwedding’.
Oh no, sadsonwedding. You are looking in the wrong place.
He wrote: “I get how being in the delivery room is important to her, but how is it more important than my wedding?! It’s not like I’ve had many weddings — this is my first.”

Did I read that right? He spitefully chose to have his wedding on the same day as his sisters due date and is now bitching that his mother won't come to his wedding? He could easily change the date of his wedding. Future wife should run as far as she can from this man child, his maturity levels match that of a petulant toddler who can't have their own way.
My SIL booked an OS trip for 2 weeks right on my due date. Which frankly I could care less about.. but the fact was she was leaving her kids behind with the grandparents who had offered to watch my other two children while I was having the baby (and C section) and was going to be in hospital. Therefore creating more stress and putting pressure on my family and the grandparents that was unnecessary. Her trip was only organised 6 weeks before she left and she refused to delay it (was asked by grandparents) until after the baby was born..some people are selfish and put people in difficult positions because they either
A) don't care about anyone else
B) don't think about anyone else
C) do it deliberately to force people to choose them, or arc up when they don't
