[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m the OP of the no kids wedding rant. I would happily go to the wedding PROVIDED I HAVE CHILDCARE. The problem I have is when the couple getting married know that you will have difficulty finding someone and expect you to attend a whole weekend anyway. As stated in my thread, DH’s cousin is out of state and I don’t want to have to ask my parents (ages 65 & 75) to watch the kids for this weekend, so we’ve decided only DH will attend although I’d very much like to go to see the rest of his extended family. For his sister’s wedding it is expected we go, so we did ask my parents to watch the kids and they’ll all just have to suffer through the weekend while we’re gone. DH’s sister could have made this somewhat easier for my parents by inviting our 9 year old (who is sad he won’t get to hang out with his 13 year old cousin) so my parents only have to watch the 6 & 3 year old, but didn’t.[/quote]

Do. You. Realize. That. DH's sister's FIANCEE. Is. Also. Responsible. Stop laying this at her feet. Yes, she has a vagina. That doesn't make her unilaterally responsible for family dynamics, event planning, and logistics. Wake up.

They can plan the wedding they want. IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU. Go, don't go. Go alone, go with your husband. WHATEVER. That is not their concern. [/quote]

Why are you obsessed with my DH’s sister’s vagina? Obviously it was her decision. Fiancé didn’t care. DH is close with his sister and tried to talk her out of it, gently but didn’t push it.[/quote]

Finace doesn't care = that was his vote, that was his input = he is every bit as responsible for this decision about THEIR wedding as she is. And yet you think, because you are living in the 1950s, that this is "on her" and she is sooooo horrible and selfish for wanting the wedding THEY want instead of the wedding YOU want.

Basically everyone is Team SIL and no one thinks you have a leg to stand on.

What's hilarious is how massively hypocritical you are. "Oh, weddings are supposed to be about FAMILIES with cute kids on the dance floor--oh, wait, except mine, I eloped." [/quote]
