A woman is fuming after finding out that a lot of her family members won't be attending her daughter's first birthday as it falls on the same day as her step-sister's wedding.
The woman took to Reddit to explain that she had not been invited to her step-sister's wedding as they were not close but was angered to learn even her mum was asking her to rearrange the date for her daughter's first birthday party.
In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, explained: "Fast forward to now she is getting married. I wasn’t invited since we have no relationship whatever I didn’t invite her to mine either."
But there has been a clash in recent weeks as the author told her mum when the daughter's first birthday party was going to be.
She explained: "This issue is I planned my daughters first birthday and when I told my mom she said it can’t be that day because it’s my Step sisters wedding.
"And can we change it to the next weekend so people don’t have to choose which to go to."
The woman then pointed out that the birthday party is in the afternoon while the wedding is at 8pm so those invited to both could easily attend both.
However, the mum was still unsure if she would be able to make the party at all.
The woman explained: "Even my own mother said she can’t make it because she will be at step sisters wedding and getting ready all day.
"I’m angry, how can she choose a step daughter over her own grandchild. Everyone is picking this girl who isn’t even really family over my daughter.
"My mom says to just change the party but I think it’s ridiculous they can’t do both and won’t change my schedule for my step sister."
However, the author has faced a backlash from readers who have sided with her mother as one person wrote: "It’s a first birthday. Your daughter won’t even remember it.
"She will not suffer over anyone’s lack of attendance. Sorry, but weddings take priority over watching a one-year-old make a mess of themselves with a cake."
While another wrote: "You knew about he conflict and went ahead with it anyway, despite the fact that moving it would not affect your child in any way."
