[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't get is...you guys want to bring your kids to a wedding? I'd rather have a night to just enjoy myself with DH while my kid is happy at home (or even in a hotel room) with a sitter. I don't want to be wrangling my kid the whole time.  [/quote]

Neither do the parents - they just want their snowflake to run around, cause chaos and do WTH they want, bride and groom be damned.  It's the snowflakes day after all, don't you know?!

Dammit it's just so hard to find a sitter. What a hassle. I have to pick up my phone and text someone to ask if they are available. It's like the bride and groom don't value me at all. The real kicker is when I can't bring the dog. What will Muffin do for the 6 hours I'm away? If I see the bride's dog there I'm going to stomp out in a fury and take my toaster with me.[/quote]

It is a hassle to find a sitter to come up a hotel in a town you have never been to before.

If you are unable to figure out a way to go to a wedding without bringing your kids, who are not invited, you can’t go. If the the bride is your bff and really really wants you there and you’ve explained this to her but she still doesn’t want your kids there it sounds like she’d prefer to have the whole family decline than invite the kids. So decline. [/quote]

Or I can get a sitter and expect a parenting message board to recognize that it’s kind of a hassle.  [/quote]

I'm a parent and don't consider it to be a huge hassle to sometimes need a sitter. You're barking up the wrong tree. Lots of things are a hassle when you have kids. Are you a new parent?[/quote]

No.  My oldest child is 12.  
I just had to get a sitter yesterday when I was called into work because someone had Covid.  I needed someone from 3:30pm-2am.  So probably wedding hours.  
I had to go a dozen people into my list before I found someone who could do it.  I’m surprised that you have never had an issue with childcare.  [/quote]

If I have an issue then I just can't go or don't do it. Such is life. A wedding isn't that important, if you can't make it work you can't make it work. [/quote]

So if it wasn’t easy, then you just wouldn’t go?

I guess that I would be willing to go through some hassle in order to attend a friend’s wedding.  I know that people went through some hassles to attend mine, and I appreciated it.  [/quote]

I don't think calling a sitter is a hassle. That's you. A hassle would be like the car broke down on the way and I had to get an emergency tow and paid $$$ to get it fixed ASAP and I still made it on time. Getting a sitter is pretty low on the list of what I consider a hassle.[/quote]
