[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s her wedding. It’s also expensive to pay for kids to come.  Then don’t go. Why can’t you find a babysitter? Why does she have to do that? 
It’s not about you. It’s her day. Make it about her, not yourself. 
Do you take your kids everywhere?

DP, but finding out of town babysitters is not an easy feat, and there’s no way I would leave my kids with a sitter we’ve never met in a strange city. In this type of scenario, the bride and groom need to be ok with the fact that out of town guests with young kids may not be able to come and declining is not a personal affront against them, and the out of town guests with kids need to be ok with the fact that the bride and groom aren’t required to plan their wedding around other people’s family situations. The biggest problem in situations like this is that one side or the other gets themselves needlessly bent out of shape. [/quote]

OP didn't say she had any objection to using a babysitter local to the wedding, she's just pissy that her cousin didn't organize the sitter for them.[/quote]
