[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d still attend. Right now it seems all about your kids, but eventually it won’t be. It’s good to maintain relationships and be open to doing things without your kids unless it’s truly impossible. I’d be a good sport and go and enjoy a break from mothering. [/quote]

Meh. These are her in-laws [b]excluding her kids[/b]. I don’t think there is much of a relationship to maintain there. If she wants to go as a break, sure. [/quote]

Obviously you view this in a very extreme way. First off, it’s not only her in-laws at the wedding.

It’s okay to exclude someone’s children. OP doesn’t OWN her children and is an independent person outside of her children. Just like sometimes a friend or person wants to hang with OP and not her husband, they also sometimes want an adults only event.

If you’re the type who gets super hung up and upset over a childfree wedding, you’ve likely lost yourself to having kids and it’s too much of your identity. Take a step back. They aren’t sharing they never ever want to hang with your kids. It’s just for one night they want an adults only event or for whatever reason couldn’t include your kids. [/quote]
