Weddings are supposed to be a time for love and celebration, but sometimes family drama can take center stage. One mother of two found herself in a tricky situation when her sister announced her wedding would be child-free, leaving her scrambling to find childcare for her disabled 2-year-old and newborn. With the wedding taking place 8 hours away and the hotel enforcing a no-kid policy, the mom and her husband decided one of them would stay behind with the kids while the other attended the wedding. However, this compromise didn’t sit well with the bride-to-be, leading to a family feud. ♀️
