AIBU BIL and wedding

[twobarnsmammisonthebus]

Me and DH recently announced our pregnancy with No. 3, and all of a sudden BIL tells the world he’s planning on getting married around the same time baby is due. AIBU to feel he didn’t need to steal our thunder like this? He’s a great guy and everyone seems to love him despite him involving the family in quite a few incidents over the years, and I want to be pleased for him, but at the same time I feel like the last thing I’m going to want to do with a new baby is get all dressed up for a wedding. I haven’t even gone down the route of asking whether it’ll be a child-free wedding yet or if DC will be invited. I expect DH’s grandma will get quite a say as usual, and DH himself will no doubt have to be heavily involved. God I hadn’t even considered the stag do, no doubt that’ll be a wild one and DH will come rolling in at all hours. Anyway, just needed to vent. AIBU?

OP I LOVED your post and a little shocked at the vitriol above.

I think the posters above are jealous that you got in first!

Thanks wheresmyphone :-) Ooh Breakfastat, wouldn’t that be something!!

Well your DH can't be overly involved if he's got to be around for you and you are about to give birth.
And depending on when Stag do is, he might well not be able to go if it's too close to your due date.
All sorted!
But I hear ya - I'd not be best pleased.
I'd want to have fun and enjoy my siblings wedding.
Not be heaving pregnant of breastfeeding a new baby.

I think the posters above are jealous that you got in first!

Got in where first? An unfunny, done to death, waste of time thread? Gosh, you’re right, I’m dying of jealousy here, just absolutely devastated! I wish I could be that unimaginative .

The vitriol towards OP is ridiculous. It's one thing to not share the same sense of humour, it's something else to insult and patronise.

Durr! It took me a bit to catch on. Well done, op. 😀

Okay, I get it, some people didn’t find this funny. But do you know what, it was never meant to be rip-roaring funniest cleverest thing anyone ever red. Simply a bit of fun. And actually I think the unpleasant posts are rather unnecessary. Just my opinion of course, which I assume I am still entitled despite being so ‘shit’ and ‘pathetic’ and daring to have a bit of ‘done to death’ fun. 👍

Bloody hell there are some proper humourless people on this thread. If you don't like it just click away when you realise what it is. What's the point in moaning just because someone else made a funny?

Lighten up people.. it will soon be Christmas.

Thanks to those who were more pleasant :-)

Christ! I've just fallen in !! Didn't know it had been announced .

LadyCassandra, there’s been no ‘vitrol’ or insults. These type of threads, much like reverses, don’t tend to go down well especially on AIBU. The op can, of course, post wherever they choose - however these type of ‘lighthearted’ posts would probably have a better audience in somewhere like Chat (which had the whole front page covered in Royal Wedding threads last I checked).

There’s been so many trolling and goady threads around recently, no wonder someone are getting a bit fed up of ‘fake’ threads.

Least your mil will be involved elsewhere and with any luck she will be to busy to be a total pita regarding your newborn!!

I don't tend to like these sort of threads from the views of toddlers or cats etc.
But this isn't piss yourself funny. Either way, there's going to be about a billion threads about this as there currently are. So crack on.

Very good, OP!

Yabu OP, you and DH announced your pregnancy quite a while ago now

Lighten up people.. it will soon be Christmas

Don't mention Christmas in November, it will anger the beasts further!

Haha, good one. Some people just have no sense of humour OP

Nothing to do with having no sense of humour, aibu is not the place for stupid fake threads thats all.

I think it's reasonable to be worried about the logistics of having a due date close to a stag/baby at a wedding - not much fun for a new mum.

He's not unreasonable to plan his weddings, and you aren't unreasonable to be concerned about logistics

i liked it OP. :)

“aibu is not the place for stupid fake threads thats all.”

No, you need to show a lot more reverence and respect OP.

Has something happened to MN tonight?

Is this a joke? Is your name Catherine?

If it is a joke, it's one of the most hilarious things I've ever read Everyone needs a good joke now and again!
