My Parents Chose My Sister Over Me and Missed My Wedding

For birthdays, graduations, and small victories, my parents always focused on my sister.

After years of feeling ignored, one man shared his story.
I have a sister who is six years older than me. For years, my parents canceled plans with me because of her.

I had a basketball game. “Oops, sorry, your sister doesn’t want to go out.” I was graduating. “Oops, sorry, your sister had a bad day at work.” They missed both big and small events in my life because of her problems.

When I met the love of my life and we decided to get married, I was worried my sister would ruin another special moment. My mom promised me that it wouldn’t happen.

On my wedding day, I got a voicemail from my mom saying they couldn’t come because my sister’s dog was sick and she was upset. I was heartbroken. My best man, who is a jokester, took my phone and asked my fiancée if he could post a video of our wedding as a gift on social media. She loved the idea.

I didn’t know about it until we got home. Our honeymoon was at a lakeside cabin with no cell service.

The post’s caption read, “My best friend. He is an amazing person, even if his parents NEVER showed up for him.” The video was a slideshow of us with her parents, me on the dance floor, and us cutting the cake. Where you would normally see both sets of parents in wedding pictures, there were only hers. The audio behind the video was my mom’s voicemail explaining why they couldn’t come.

When I got home a week later, I had hundreds of messages. Family members from both sides told me to take it down. They said my sister hadn’t stopped crying, and my mom wouldn’t leave the house.

Maybe I’m the jerk here. I didn’t take it down when I saw the messages. I didn’t call my family back right away. I waited until my vacation was over and enjoyed my time with my wife in our new home before contacting anyone.

My dad told me to take down the video. He said it was “just a bad night for them” and that they would make it up to me and my wife for not coming. I replied, “How do you plan to ’make up’ my wedding? It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event. You chose to ignore my feelings.”

He repeated that they would make it up to me. I told him I would take down the video only when he made up for missing my wedding. Frustrated, we both hung up before saying things we shouldn’t have.

People stood on his side.
“The truth hurts sometimes and your parents & sister just got whammied! Your friend is AWESOME. Please leave the video up!”

MY NEIGHBOR BURIED MY POND WHILE I WAS AWAY 😡💧 Some people reveal who they truly are when you least expect it. For me, it happened when my neighbor filled in my cherished pond while I was out of town, not realizing the storm he was about to face. I may be a quiet older woman, but I had a plan that turned his world upside down. At 74, I’ve seen my share of neighborhood drama, but nothing like what happened in my own backyard. I’m Agnes, and I’ve lived in my cozy little home for twenty years. It’s where I raised my three kids and now enjoy weekends with my six grandkids. The highlight of our yard has always been the pond my great-grandpa built. It’s been the heart of our family for generations. My grandkids love it—sometimes I think they like that pond more than my cookies! 🍪 Everything was peaceful until Derek moved in next door five years ago. From day one, he had a problem with my pond. “Agnes,” he’d yell, “those frogs are driving me crazy at night!” I’d just laugh and say, “They’re singing you to sleep, Derek. Free lullabies!” He’d complain about bugs, too. I told him, “Maybe it’s that cluttered mess in your yard, not my clean pond.” He’d stomp away, and I figured he’d get over it. I was wrong. I went to visit my cousin for a few days, looking forward to laughter and card games. But when I came home, something felt off. The sparkle of water in the yard was gone. In its place? Dirt. My heart sank. Mrs. Carter from across the street rushed over. “Agnes, I tried to stop them! They said they were hired to fill the pond. I told them you weren’t home, but they had papers and everything!” I stared at the muddy patch where my beloved pond used to be. I didn’t need to guess who was behind it. “Derek,” I whispered, fists clenched. “What will you do?” Mrs. Carter asked, worried. I stood up straight. “Oh, he’s about to learn why you don’t mess with Agnes.” I called my daughter Clara. She was furious. “We need to call the police!” “Not yet,” I said. “We need proof.” That’s when my granddaughter Sophie remembered something. “Grandma! The bird camera in the maple tree!” We checked it. And there he was—Derek, clear as day, bossing a crew around, smirking like he got away with something. “Oh, I’ve got you now,” I said with a grin. Derek thought I’d just let it go. But he didn’t count on me calling the local environmental office. “Hello,” I said sweetly. “I’d like to report the illegal destruction of a protected pond.” They sounded confused at first. “Protected habitat, ma’am?” “Yes,” I replied. “That pond was registered. It had rare fish. Someone filled it in while I was away.” Turns out, the environment folks take that very seriously. A few days later, they knocked on Derek’s door. “Mr. Larson, you’re being fined for destroying a protected habitat. We have evidence.” Derek looked stunned. “Fifty thousand dollars? Are you kidding? It was just a pond!” “That ‘pond’ was registered and protected, sir.” I watched from my porch, trying not to giggle. But I wasn’t done yet. Next, I called my grandson Lucas—a sharp lawyer in the city. 👉 (continue reading in the first comment)
