A mother's plea for advice in the Ask Amy column has ignited a social media firestorm. She questioned whether her conservative brother should be pressured for a wedding gift, even after being explicitly uninvited from her liberal daughter's wedding due to political differences.

The mother explained that her daughter felt 'unsafe' with her uncle's presence, citing his conservative political views. This led to the uncle's exclusion from the celebration. Despite this, the mother expressed disappointment over the lack of a wedding gift, particularly since her brother had generously gifted family members over $1,000 in the past.

The advice columnist, Amy Dickinson, criticized the mother's actions, highlighting the impropriety of expecting a gift after deliberately excluding a family member. Dickinson pointed out the irony of the daughter feeling 'unsafe' around differing political viewpoints while simultaneously demanding a financial contribution from someone holding those views.

The situation sparked widespread criticism on Twitter, with users labeling the bride's behavior as entitled and hypocritical. Many commentators sided with the uncle, praising his mature response in staying away from the wedding after being uninvited.
