If you could bottle the lack of self-awareness from a mother who uninvites her brother from her daughter's wedding because his "conservative opinions" make her uncomfortable, then wonders why the family is upset with her, THEN wants to know where is wedding gift is, she could make her daughter drink it and maybe they'd both calm down. This "Dear Amy" advice letter shows that such self-awareness is potent.

The bride is less the bad guy here because the mother, signed "Angry in Philadelphia," is old enough to know better. We've heard of leftists age zoomer-to-millennial freaking out and claiming they are "unsafe" because someone around them holds an opposing viewpoint. The fact that she wouldn't want her uncle in the room -- even though they both get along allegedly -- because Uncle Dave "is a conservative voter and has supported candidates we all abhor" isn't surprising. Though if I'm Uncle Dave?

It's also not surprising that such an emotional hemophilia would demand her mother do her dirty work. Mom uninvited Uncle Dave in a "really nice note" and sent him photos from the wedding he was invited to.

Here's where the mother should have asked herself if she was the assh*le here, and admitted that, yes, she was. Dave hasn't spoken to her, and her daughter wants to know where her $1000 wedding gift is for the wedding he was forbidden to go to.

I have not heard from Dave since then. When my siblings found out what I had done they were angry with me. That is just one problem. Another problem is that Dave has not sent my daughter and son-in-law a wedding gift. In the past, Dave has given family members wedding checks in excess of $1,000. She says she was counting on receiving the same type of gift.

Wait, we're not even at the best part.

Dave’s behavior is upsetting and embarrassing to me. How can I get my brother to recognize and change his petty behavior? Please don’t tell me that I’m the one who started this by not inviting my brother to the wedding.

Ok, now.

No, Mrs. Angry in Philadelphia, you did in fact start this. You started this by allowing your daughter to grow up to be a selfish, entitled brat. You started this by doing her dirty work for her. And, you started this by, with every ounce of sincerity in your words, writing a letter demanding Uncle Dave send your obnoxious dingbat of a daughter a thousand dollars when both of you should be told to go f*ck yourself.

If Dave is as conservative as you say, he no doubt consumes conserve media on the internet and is reading all of us making fun of you. Your daughter deserves two things. The first is a $1000 donation to DeSantis 2024 in her name. The second is a bag of Uncle Dave's sh*t after a steak dinner.
