Girl Called Selfish Brat By Brother's Future Wife For Refusing To Babysit 40 Kids During Their Wedding

You can't expect anyone to be happy about assuming that much responsibility.

We live in a world where people expect you to do things for them simply because they want you to, and if you dare to refuse, they won't take no for an answer, turning you into the villain. It's almost as if these individuals believe the world constantly owes them favors and that people are merely tools to help them achieve their desires.

Sometimes, even your own family tries to manipulate you into doing things for them just because you're related, but when you need them, they vanish from the face of the earth. The trick is to leave no room for manipulation and stick to your principles; otherwise, you will find yourself constantly doing others' chores for them.

OP is definitely not the a-hole in this situation: you can't expect anyone to want to assume this kind of responsibility, regardless of their line of work. Calling her names afterward proved how toxic the brother's future wife is; she really put OP in a corner and gave her no real choices.

I hope OP resolves this issue with her brother so she can attend his wedding and be part of the happiest day of his life. As for the future wife, she should really reevaluate her behavior and apologize to OP.
