Very last minute stress-need to rant!

richardsvicky, 20 June, 2012 at 20:06 Posted on Planning 0 5

Ok so I have 3 days to go now until the big day, I know very exciting! Anyway, my older sister texts me earlier and ask if its ok if she brings her boyfriends son? I reply straight away that if id had more notice I might've been able to sort it, but it was much to late as all my final numbers for meals amd chair covers have been sorted and paid for! She then goes on and says what is she supposed to do leave him in the car and then says that its my fault because I said he could come (which I didnt). That was the last I heard and my sister is known to start big arguements, especially after a few drinks, which Im worried she might cause a fuss on the day, thats if she even turns up! Why do families cause so much stress?! And 3 days before!!!

    Oh my goodness, people never stop shocking me with their rudeness. If she does cause trouble on the day I am sure the rest of you friends/family will shut her down. Let her boyfriend sort out his son's babysitters without getting you and the wedding involved.

    I feel your pain, but on a slight different note. I've had my mum not know what to do with their dog, and it really got me mad to the point that I don't talk about it with her now.

    I had 'I could leave him in the hotel room', 'sneak him in the ceremony' and it goes on. I would leave it for him to sort out, as much as you don't want to be too mean you need more notice.

    On a more positive note - HOW EXCITINGGGGG 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Jonesmel_25 if your mum won't put the dog in kennels and has no friends that would look after it for the wedding then you can hire overnight petsitters. They're expensive but work like babysitters, only they stay in your house overnight. Original poster....speak to your parents about your sister and explain she's never mentioned her OH's son before & now its too late to change anything. Then your parents are aware of the issue and if she kicks off at the wedding your parents can deal with her. How old is the boy? Worse comes to worse, could he be trusted to sit in another area of the venue during the wedding breakfast?

    I think he's about 7, we've never even met him. We dont have much to do with her normally really as shes said some very hurtful things in the past and she only ever gets in touch when she wants something. sadly my parents are no longer with me, and no one else there really knows her other than my little sister, and she even got upset just because I sat her on the same table as my big sister. Ah well, im going to enjoy my day regardless! :-)
