A distressed bride is upset that one of her close friends no longer wants to attend her wedding after she had to deny a pricey request. <\/p>\n

Taking to Reddit<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s popular \u201cAm I the A\u2013hole\u201d forum, the 22-year-old woman explained that she and her husband-to-be were tying the knot within the coming weeks. <\/p>\n

She wrote that they are \u201crelatively good off moneywise\u201d and opted to pay for the wedding themselves. However, they received a monetary gift from family and are using it to fly in guests who wouldn\u2019t be able to afford to come otherwise. <\/p>\n

Despite their generosity, the bride said that one of her closest friends is upset and thinks that she\u2019s entitled to even more than others. After hearing her request, fellow Redditors weighed in that the bride is being viewed as a \u201ccash register\u201d and not a pal. <\/p>\n

In her post<\/a>, the woman explained that her 24-year-old friend had \u201cmoved to the other side of the country to live with her husband.\u201d <\/p>\n

They are parents to three kids between the ages of four and one. The kids aren\u2019t the problem. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe both come from big families so there will be a lot of kids and the wedding won\u2019t be child free or under any age restrictions there will be a lot of kids under the age of five,\u201d the Redditor explained. <\/p>\n

The problem stems from an additional request that the bride\u2019s friend made: She wants the newlyweds to pay for her children\u2019s childcare for the entire week. <\/p>\n

She said that her pal \u201cisn\u2019t willing to have her kids come to the wedding.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe have repeatedly said that we were also willing to pay the kids airplane tickets because we love the kids. But we aren\u2019t willing to pay for childcare because other friends and family have arranged childcare themselves because they weren\u2019t willing to have the kids with them at the wedding(child free night\ud83c\udf89\ud83e\udd73) and we aren\u2019t in the position to pay for everyone so we want to keep it fair,\u201d the bride explained. <\/p>\n

She continued, adding, \u201cAnd she is the demanding we pay for childcare for the entire week (because that is how long we have this whole thing planned) we were willing to pay for childcare for the wedding itself, but not for the entire week that they had wanted to come over.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now she\u2019s blowing up my phone saying i am not a good friend because friends are willing to give everything to each other,\u201d the woman added, asking if she was in the wrong. <\/p>\n

Fellow Redditors rushed to weigh in, and they all came out in support of the bride. <\/p>\n

\u201cI wish I could tell [the friend] that exploiting your rich friends is still exploitation,\u201d one person wrote. <\/p>\n

Highlighting the guest\u2019s quote that \u201cfriends are willing to give everything to each other,\u201d another person replied, writing, \u201cAnd yet she\u2019s not willing to give money to a babysitter herself so she can be there for you. Funny how that only seems to run one way.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAre you sure she is your friend rather than a person who sees you as a cash register?\u201d another person wondered, garnering support from nearly 200 other Redditors. <\/p>\n

In a second post they added, \u201cYou have shown an extraordinary generosity by offering to fly people for the wedding. However, it also may have created the image in some people\u2019s head that your are \u2018loaded\u2019. I do not know your and your friend\u2019s overall economic situations but this may changed how she perceives you. Her original request is not crazy (if you are willing to pay for the tickets, why not ask for babysitting instead). Her reaction to your \u2018no\u2019 is crazy. Unfortunately money (even if it is not theirs) do change people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet another poster had a cheeky response. Assuring the bride that they weren\u2019t in the wrong, they said, \u201cjust to remind you: f\u2014 off is a full sentence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
