Guy Asks if He’s Wrong for Getting Mad at His Sister for Bringing a Baby to a Family Dinner

I’m gonna go ahead and say it: I’m not the biggest fan of kids.

Sure, I’m happy for all my friends and family members who have adorable little angels, but sometimes it can be annoying when they bring them everywhere and THERE’S NO ESCAPE.

Check out this story and let us know if you think this guy is wrong for getting mad at his sister because she brought a baby to a family dinner…

AITA for getting mad at my sister for coming to a family dinner with her baby?

“I (32m) am engaged to Jessy (30f). We have been together for 7 years and have been trying for a baby for the past 2.

Originally I was planning to purpose to her during a family dinner at a Michelin star restaurant, so I paid for 12 people to be there including hers and mine families. I made the booking nearly 10 months ago. However plans have changed and instead I have purposed during one of our holidays as the time felt more right.

2 months before the dinner we found out that Jessy is pregnant. I was beyond happy to hear that so we have decided to use the dinner to announce the pregnancy instead alongside with taking about wedding preparations. The place is rather high end so it has a strict dress code and set of rules to follow.

Dinner was yesterday. My sister Emily decided to bring my nephew Kit with her who is still breastfed and is currently teething (he is 6 months old). So instead of celebrating Jessy’s pregnancy a lot of people were feeling uncomfortable due to my nephew crying nearly constantly and the owner of the restaurant at some point asked us to leave since kids were not allowed and my nephew was disturbing other guests.

I had no choice but to ask Emily to leave. She was hesitant at first, however I have reminded her of the rules of the place and in no way or form she contacted me to ask if it would be OK to bring Kit with her. She has tried to defend herself saying he is young but her boyfriend, who is also the father, could have stayed with Kit, since he finishes work at 4. I have also told Emily how disappointed I was with what she did as she ruined the dinner by bringing Kit in the place not made for kids.

Emily didn’t like that and left. The rest of the dinner went okayish but I could feel the tension. Later that night my mum and my aunt (aunt wasn’t presant as she lives quite far away and can’t really travel) both called me to tell that what I did was an a**hole move and Emily is now upset and I need to apologise.

Jessy is upset too but because she felt like everyone paid attention to Kit and were trying to calm him down, instead of congratulating us or discussing the wedding what the dinner was about.

So AITA?”

Now let’s see what Reddit users said about this.
