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.
A Reddit user who goes by the username u/Maximum_Somewhere281 made a post on r/AmItheA***hole asking if she's in the wrong for "ruining" her brother's wedding. She explained how her brother's future wife insisted that she babysit 40 kids during the wedding with the help of her boyfriend, giving her no real choices.

RedditThe rule originally excluded even OP from attending the wedding.
RedditThen the name-calling proceeded, and OP's future sister-in-law grew angrier.
Reddit
OP's entire family is now upset with her.
Reddit
OP wondered if what she did was wrong and asked the community to share their opinions.

Here's how Reddit users reacted to u/Maximum_Somewhere281's story:
Reddit
Emily and OP's brother are definitely in the wrong here.
Reddit
OP can't give in now; she'll end up paying the consequences later.
Reddit
Why even involve OP and her boyfriend in this ordeal?
Reddit
They have absolutely no grounds to complain.
Reddit
They can't even follow through with their own logic.
Reddit
Ditch the wedding and be happy.
Reddit
It's one of the worst things anyone can ever go through.
Reddit
Hard pass. Remind her that you're only a child.
Reddit
So many safety issues are involved.
Reddit
They need a whole team of people.
Reddit
This whole situation is a disaster waiting to happen:
Reddit
OP addressed ADB_BWG's questions in a follow-up reply:
Reddit
The true a-hole here is Emily.
Reddit
Unfair and unkind doesn't even begin to describe it.
Reddit
The brother should put a stop to this.
Reddit
That's kind of specific, but okay.
Reddit
Emily came up with that brilliant idea.
Reddit
Two people cannot possibly do that job.
Reddit
The family should not be okay with this.
Reddit
It's a responsibility anyone would refuse to take on.
Reddit
It's an insane idea, and not to forget, extremely unsafe.
Reddit
That's far beyond "asking for a favor."
Reddit
They're trying to cut costs at her expense.
Reddit
This user suspected that Emily didn't want OP to steal the spotlight from her.
Reddit
Here's what OP's parents think about this whole ordeal:
Reddit
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.
