Bridesmaid or Babysitter? The Wedding Day Dilemma ♀️
Our protagonist, a pediatric-loving 22-year-old, agreed to watch her friend’s child during her wedding. Little did she know, this agreement would snowball into an unexpected role as the wedding’s babysitter-in-chief! The bride and her crew decided, without consulting her, that she would be the go-to childminder for all the kids at the wedding. When she objected, the bride argued that her pediatric experience and love for kids should make it a non-issue. The situation escalated, leading to accusations of ruining the wedding and pressure from friends to ‘be nice’. Now, she’s left wondering if she’s the villain in this wedding saga. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this…
