She added, “I don’t feel comfortable traveling so far away from my midwife and dragging along several young kids under 3, potentially even a newborn.”

At one point, the woman said her husband was asked to be the best man, while her children were not asked to be involved in the wedding party because she claimed her soon-to-be sister-in-law “doesn’t really like kids.”

“Jesus, what family did you marry into?!? Your husband is willing to miss the birth of HIS OWN CHILD to be at this wedding and that is not enough?!” one user wrote. “Sounds like him pulling out of even going at all may be the answer here.”

Another Redditor suggested the woman should mention to her sister-in-law “that your water breaking on the dance floor would ruin her day more than your absence. What a life your BIL will have.”

Other people, meanwhile, related to dealing with similar behavior in their families.

“My brother is with someone like that,” one said. “I promise you life is better when you stop catering to it. Way fewer headaches and a lot less drama.”
