Reluctantly, Samantha found herself ushered into the back corner of the venue, surrounded by fidgety toddlers. She had arranged childcare and paid for a sitter, yet here she was, babysitting other people’s kids at someone else’s wedding.
As the ceremony continued, Samantha couldn’t help but feel the sting of being overlooked. There was Julie, happy and radiant, not a care in the world about who was taking care of her guests’ children.
Why would her friend do this to her, and how could she have allowed everyone but her to bring their children? It was so degrading to be the only adult sitting in the back, missing the entire service.
