Weddings are meant to be joyous occasions, but for the protagonist of this story, the upcoming nuptials of her sister have caused quite a stir. Lisa’s wedding is child-free, and although the protagonist is pregnant and will have a 5-month-old baby at the time of the ceremony, Lisa has made it clear that the baby is not welcome.

My (25) sister (31), let’s say her name is Lisa, is getting married later this year. The wedding is child free.
I’m currently pregnant, and at the time of the wedding, I will have a 5-month-old baby. I asked Lisa if she could come as well, but Lisa said no. I accepted that and told her I wouldn’t be able to attend. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my young kid with a sitter, and my family would be at the wedding.
Lisa’s pretty pissed off and said I’m trying to act holier-than-thou and punishing her for having a child free wedding. She said she wants me to be there and give a speech as the sister of the bride, but I told her I can’t attend if I can’t bring my baby. She replied some of her friends have kids and they know a lot of trusted sitters, and she’ll give me the numbers, but I’ve refused. Mom said she could stay home with the baby while I attend a part of the ceremony, and then she’ll come (and I’ll go home) but Lisa wants our parents to be there the whole time.
I don’t know, I’m just looking out for myself and my kid but I might be being an AH? Lisa’s upset that I’m not attending.
