Mothers are allowed to breastfeed their baby wherever they want. Many public places have recently set up separate rooms and stations for breastfeeding mothers. But there are people who still find breastfeeding indecent. One man took to the Reddit community to announce that he had criticized his sister for breastfeeding her baby during his wedding reception. u/royallyobsessed2828 reposted the story in the r/weddingshaming subreddit. Needless to say, the internet was less than thrilled with the groom’s behavior.

The 34-year-old man began the post by revealing that his sister gave birth to a baby two months before his wedding. The sister decided to attend the wedding reception with her baby. “She breastfeeds whenever she goes. When we visit her at home? Then she breastfeeds in front of us. When we visit our parents? Then she breastfeeds. When we go out in public? Then she sits on a bench in the park and breastfeeds,” the groom complained in his Reddit post. He also mentioned that his sister did not shy away from breastfeeding in restaurants either.

“I never spoke about it because I know she will be angry and offended, but when she did that at my wedding, I lost it,” the post continued. “During the reception dinner, she just did it again. I kindly approached her and asked her why she didn’t bring formula or at least take milk out and put it in the bottle so she didn’t have to do all that at that moment. She said, ‘Because I don’t have to. I’m comfortable breastfeeding. Getting milk out on my own is more painful.’ I said she could just make that sacrifice and compromise for one day instead of doing that in front of 250 guests at my wedding,” the post revealed.

But the groom’s sister told him that there was not much she could do about it since the baby needed to be fed at that moment. The groom rebuked her, claiming that she should have been more considerate before arriving at the wedding. “I told my wife what was going on and she said I was in the wrong and to apologize to my sister immediately. My parents also sided with my sister and now pretty much everyone thinks I’m rude since I’m the only person who had a problem with it,” the post concluded.

The groom took to the Reddit community to ask if he was wrong to call out his sister’s “poor etiquette and tasteless” behavior at a formal event. u/Continental_op_xx noted, “I really have to laugh when I see him describe her constant breastfeeding in countless situations. Like it’s some weird hobby she wants to indulge in and not a normal human function she has to perform?” u/ashleybear7 wrote, “So everyone gets to eat except the 2 month old because he’s uncomfortable breastfeeding? That seems pretty weird to me. If he does that to his sister, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does the same to his wife when she has a child.”

u/BrooklynBride27 added, “I recently went to a wedding with two breastfed babies. Mommy one sat at my table and was so low key I didn’t even notice for a while! Mommy two got up in the middle of dinner while everyone else was basically sitting in the middle of the room and pulled down her entire halter dress. It was awkward and weird. That was the only time I could imagine saying, ‘Hey, would you mind sitting down, moving to the back/side of the room or using the bridal suite’ or something like that.”
