Woman attempts to get bride 'fired' after she refuses kids at her wedding
Weddings are regularly breeding grounds for family feuds and pre-nuptial fights, but one woman's "kid-free" rule almost led to the demise of her career.
A bride-to-be was caught in the midst of an altercation with her future sister-in-law after she refused to have children at the wedding reception.
The future bride shared the scenario on Reddit, explaining she and her husband had agreed to keep kids out of the celebrations for the second half of their wedding day.

With her husband's four-year-old niece in mind, who is autistic, the pair tried to design the reception to avoid any of the young girl's triggers, but eventually decided to forego child guests altogether.
Unfortunately, her sister-in-law refused to accept the conditions.
"My future sister-in-law has told us that her daughter will also be at the reception, that she can't be just put with a sitter (even though I'm a special education teacher so I have a friend who would be willing to watch her instead of going to the reception)," the bride explained in her post.
"We have put our foot down and said, 'There are no children at our wedding.' She's ASD level 2, her triggers are music that's not kids, food with certain textures, lights, other people sitting certain ways, clothing textures the whole thing (even if the clothes are on other people, I have my dream dress for the reception because if I wore it around her it would trigger her)."

The bride's actions sparked a fury in her future sister-in-law who proceeded to call her currently employer and explain she was "unfit" for her job.
According to the bride, due to the requirements for her position as a special education teacher, the claims were investigated.
The bride continued to reveal her future husband and mother-in-law got involved in the matter, informing the sister-in-law of her poor behaviour.
She says the two told her sister-in-law it was "not fair to the family to have to accommodate my niece 24/7 and they want to have a night of adult fun without worrying about a niece meltdown because I decided to wear a sparkly dress and serve chicken and listen to music that wasn't created for children."
"My fiancé and I want a childfree wedding reception because personally, we don't have time to hang out with our friends without children around and we all deserve a night of adult-only fun," she added.

Similarly to the groom's family, social media users took the bride's side, widely agreeing her future sister-in-law was being "selfish".
"Not your wedding, not your call - If she's that attached to her child she is more than welcome to stay home which at this point is definitely for the best," wrote one user.
"She'd be dead to me for all eternity. I would never forgive her," said another.
While a third suggested she "hire a lawyer," and it was "nice" her future mother-in-law was on "her side."
"Trying to get you fired? Unbelievable."
