I hate to be a Debbie Downer or a Negative Nancy so help me see the positive (and let me cry to you)...

FS has a sister who is my age (just a few weeks younger). She is very unstable and so immature. She has tried committing suicide multiple times and is using her "depression" as an excuse for everything, including sleeping 16 hours a day, every day. (Before you start attacking me about saying that, I know what depression is like. I have recovered from my own bout of depression. I am not saying it is an excuse for anything, I am saying FS's sister uses it as an excuse in completely innapropriate situations). She also has always gone for the laziest, deadbeat guys. Now she's pregnant, due in December. FS's family and her baby-daddy's family are both pretty religious. Her parents have said to not get married, his parents have said they MUST. FS sister works part time at a hotel working the front desk. Her baby-daddy works full time 3 hours away and saves no money what-so-ever.

    I'm not sure what to say that won't sound mean. It isn't right that your SIL uses depression as an excuse, she needs to get help instead. I'm sorry that she is being forced into a marriage she isn't ready for and having a baby she isn't ready for. Now here comes the mean part. When it comes to her wedding they are the Parents of the bride and as such they are responsible for paying for the wedding. The only part of your wedding they are responsible for paying for is the rehearsal dinner. I'm sorry if this isn't how your wedding is being handled. I know that isn't how many weddings are handled now but it is proper etiquette.

    The squeaky wheel always gets the grease. I hate how parents reward/enable bad behavior. The "good" siblings always get screwed because they are doing the right thing...ugh!!!

    Just know that their marriage will likely be one the those that don't work out and result in a bitter divorce. Let them have fun now, because it's probably the last fun they will have together.
