A sister is paying for her brother's wedding but is upset that she is not included in the planning process. She has been very supportive of her brother and his fiancé, paying for their education, down payment on their house, and multiple rounds of IVF. When her brother asked for a contribution to the wedding, she offered to pay for the entire thing.

However, she is now feeling left out as the entire family is involved in the planning process, while she is only involved in paying for it. When she brought up her concerns to her brother, he told her that she can't replace their parents and that's why she's not involved.

The sister is now questioning whether she's being taken advantage of or if she's just causing drama. Read on to find out what happens in this family drama.

Sister pays for brother's wedding but isn't included in the planning

A sister is paying for her brother's wedding but feels excluded from the planning process. She has already paid for her brother's Masters degree, paid the down payment on his house, and will be paying for future rounds of IVF for him and his fiancee. The sister has set up a wedding account for her brother and future sister-in-law but feels uncomfortable that she is only involved in paying for the wedding and not included in the decision-making process.

When she expressed her concerns, her brother told her that she cannot replace their parents and she should not feel entitled to be involved. The sister is torn between feeling like she is doing something nice and feeling taken advantage of, and is asking for advice on whether or not she is being an a**hole.

Read on to find out how this situation unfolds and what the sister decides to do about it after hearing what Reddit had to say.

Generous sister realizes it's time to cut off financially dependent brother.
