A-teenage girl was close to her dad. His dad started dating Anna, and the girl thought Anna would be a great stepmom.
She was excited about their wedding and even bought a dress and shoes. But then, her dad and Anna dropped a bombshell.
They said the wedding would be child-free, meaning no one under 18 could attend. Since the girl was still 17 on the wedding day, she couldn’t go.
Feeling devastated, she told her mom, who took her on a vacation to cheer her up. Meanwhile, the mom told the rest of the family what happened.
Later, on her birthday, the girl posted pictures on Facebook, sarcastically thanking her dad and Anna for not letting her go to the wedding. This stirred up a storm in the family, with many expressing shock and anger.
Her dad and Anna called her names, saying she was immature and selfish. Some friends thought she shouldn’t have posted about it.
But fellow Redditors disagreed, saying the girl wasn’t wrong for speaking up. They criticized the dad and Anna for excluding her and saw it as a sign of where she stood in their lives.
Some even speculated that Anna purposely picked a date before the girl’s birthday so she couldn’t attend. Many agreed that the dad was in the wrong for leaving his own daughter out of his wedding.
