A bride is disappointed in her sister's efforts as maid of honor.

The "overwhelmed" maid of honor took to Reddit's "Bridezillas" forum to explain how she's trying her best to make her sister happy, but seems to be doing the opposite. Despite the woman's hard work, her sister always expects more and has gone as far to insinuate she's a bad maid of honor.

"She tells me I am not an amazing maid of honor and quite frankly I don’t know how to take it," the Redditor said.

The maid of honor has been assigned countless tasks from the bride, but isn't being appreciated for doing any of them. Instead, she's criticized if everything isn't up to her sister's high standards.

"I am in charge of the bridal shower, the Jack and Jill Vacation/party, the day of bridesmaids assistant, the church and venue decorator, the decorator remover, the cake getter…the list goes on and on," she wrote.

Usually, she doesn't mind helping out her loved ones. But the bride's desire for perfectionism has ruined the experience.

"She wants everything to be 'perfect' and it’s putting loads and loads of stress onto my plate," the woman said. "It’s not just that I am working and I have to take two weeks off to do all of this stuff. I am just super overwhelmed."

Originally, the woman turned down the maid of honor position because of her busy schedule. But the bride convinced her to take on the role because she insisted it "wouldn't be that bad."

Now, she's struggling to balance work, school and her social life. Finances are also beginning to become a concern because her sister isn't satisfied with any affordable bridal event venues.

"My sister also has been making fun of me for not planning her wedding shower at an expensive venue. I recommend we have it at a house or park for free and just decorate and have good food," she explained. "Nope she wants the ~fancy~ place. Anytime I make any recommendations, she shoots it down."

The poster asked Redditors what they would do if they were in her situation. In response, they suggested she step down from the role.

"Tell her she’s not living up to her promise that this would be simple and low stress," one user commented. "And her making fun of you is completely unacceptable. And that’s why she needs to find someone else for your role."

"Stop letting her take advantage and bully you," someone else wrote. "Tell her you cannot do the unpaid job of wedding planner. Sorry not sorry."

Some users advised her to "sugarcoat" the message if she needed to.

"Tell her she's right, you agree and so you must 'regretfully' step down," another Redditor commented. "She'll throw a tantrum. Then tell her you were right in the beginning, it's too much with your responsibilities with everything else, and it isn't fair to HER."
