Oh, Mom can’t come because she makes the bride uncomfortable? Okay, her loyal daughter won’t be attending either.

Watching parents get old is tough. 

One minute it seems that they’re on top of the world, heroes in our tiny sphere who can do anything short of lifting cars and flying off into the clouds. The next moment, their knees are cracking, they can’t go on hikes, and their doctors are telling them to take more joint-care vitamins. It’s an inevitable part of life, aging, but this young caretaker’s sister didn’t see it that way. On Reddit’s r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, a pair of sisters aired their family’s darkest secrets, revealing that a bride refused to invite her mother to the wedding because her aging made her uncomfortable. 

There must be more to this story, right? Because there’s no way a parent could be denied entry for something so superficial, but alas, there’s a reason that the loyal daughter stuck with their mom instead of her entitled sister. In this case, there are going to be two empty seats at the family’s head table, but the sister wasn’t going to no-show without letting the entire family know the real reason. 

Getting shunned from your daughter’s wedding for being old is downright ruthless.
