Sister's getting married...demanding we all stay in the mansion hotel she's marrying in - at £145/night. We've already forked out £280 for flights and a cottage (£870) fifteen minutes away from hotel. Our dd (aged 2) will want her bed at 10pm latest - so we'll be in our room from then - and we won't see them at breakfast cause..well..it's been their wedding night and our kids wake at 6am so we eat early. Am I being unreasonable to think she's being totally insensitive to our financial situation (only one of us works)?

Sorry, I meant 'yes' as in she's being completely insensitive to your situation, although the hotel room does seem a bargain compared to £870 for a cottage.

YANBU.

Can you get your mum to stick in her heels for you?

(sorry this is how my family works)

How many nights does she want you to stay if the cottage is cheaper??

Tell her to bog off, she is being Bridezilla.

Yes.

Put your foot down.

She can't force you to stay at the hotel.
