It’s tough getting stuck in between your divorced parents.

This woman was set to go to a wedding on her dad’s side of the family.

Her mom won’t allow her to go because it’s on Mother’s Day weekend.

Should she go to the wedding with her dad anyway?

Read the story below for all the details.

AITA for going to a wedding on Mother’s Day weekend?

I (19F) have divorced parents.

I live with my mom mostly while I go to school, and I go to my dad’s house on the weekends.

This woman was excited to go to a wedding.

This upcoming weekend is Mother’s Day.

It’s also a wedding for someone related to my dad’s wife.

I really love their family, and I was super excited to hear about the wedding.

All my cousins are going, with whom I am all super close.

She plans to come back on Mother’s Day.

We would all get to spend time together in the hotel.

The wedding is in a different city.

It’s only two hours away, so we would leave Friday, and we’d comeback early Sunday morning.

I had already bought a dress since it’s a very fancy wedding.

Her mom didn’t allow her to go.

But my mom made me aware it’s Mother’s Day weekend.

She told me I am not allowed to go because we have to spend the whole weekend with her.

I really want to go, and I would make sure to be back Sunday so I could spend the day with her.

She plans to go anyway.

My dad is saying it’s fine because she had kept us from him on Father’s Day before.

But I don’t want to be selfish.

I already got her a gift. I would walk in Sunday morning with balloons and flowers.

So, WIBTA if I went to the wedding?

It seems like she’s able to be back in time to celebrate Mother’s Day with her mom, so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Let’s see what others have to say about this on Reddit.

A Mother’s Day celebration should be freely given, not demanded.
