A mum has been left "somewhere between upset and annoyed" after being "demoted" by her stepson's fiancée in their wedding plans.
The woman took to parenting forum Mumsnet to seek advice after being informed by her husband's soon-to-be-wife that she would not be "allowed to sit at the wedding top table".
The fiancée explained that the reason for this is that the woman is "not family", and the stepmum quickly asked others whether she was "wrong to be bothered by it".
