AIBU to think excluding children from their dad's wedding was hurtful?

[FunnyBeaker]

My 3 children recently announced their OP was remarrying and were super excited about the event. We spoke about outfits, where they were staying and how fun the day would be. However, on the big day they never went to the ceremony (no after party), no suits or dresses, nothing! AIBU to think this is such a horrible thing to do to your own children? Build them up to think there’s a big event and then exclude them?

For the love of God will you USE YOUR WORDS and explain the full story?

OP is being weirdly cagey on this thread.
It needs a lot more context and info to answer.

Stories its probably story farming i have stories but im saying nothing

Hoe bizarre!

Very frustrating. How difficult is it to write a clear explanation?

So their father told them that he was getting married and that they would have new suits/dresses.

On the day of the wedding, they travelled 150 miles with him to the place where the ceremony was held. They did not have new suits/dresses.
They did not attend the ceremony but did something else while it was going on (unclear).

It sounds as though it was a small ceremony and they were never meant to be included, though why the travelling to the ceremony and not attending I cannot fathom.

Anyone else imagining these kids sat on a bench with a coke and a packet of crisps each whilst dad points at the registry office and says I’m just going to be in there for 30 mins behave yourselves.

And those who are chipping in with their own experiences - why? The OP isn’t going to engage.

Because then they can’t keep the thread running for more frothy responses ……..

YES!! Or leaving them in the car and sending someone out to check every now and again that nobody is fucking around with the cigarette lighter 🤣

Although that’s a bit old school

Yes...because mn is all about trusting your gut and not questioning anything

What a weird thread!

Indeed.....

This was going to be my comment. Just had an image of being sat on a wall with a bag of crisps and a lemonade 🤣

So he drove 150miles, left his kids in the car nipped into get married then back home??

He was on a mission from god

Im sorry but you are not giving the story in chronological order so difficult to reply

Did you ex say the children were invited?

How was their no outfits when you say in your OP that they were discussed ?

Your children obviouslyy travelled as you say so in your OP. where? who with? what caused them to be stood outside the wedding venue?

So did they just hang in the parking lot with the riffraff?

😆

What is OP? Other Parent?

He sounds awful. Does his new wife have her own kids and were at the wedding?

It's clearly supposed to be DP - so their dad

This is exactly what my dad used to do when he went to the betting shop when we were kids! 😂
