[quote=Anonymous]A million threads on this and I'm still shocked people get bent out of shape. It's their wedding, they get to do what they want. Some people see it as a chance to get the whole family together, including kids. Some people see it as an adult celebration. Either way is perfectly fine and it's a voluntary event. I understand there are family dynamics and obligations the closer you are to the bride and groom, but when money and travel are involved, all bets are off. If you don't want to attend without your kids, don't. Stay polite, do not snark on their choices to anyone in the family, send a generous gift and genuine expression of congratulations in the card. If anyone asks, you say you wish you could have made it work but you couldn't and you kindly change the subject. Judgement goes both ways, and I don't think anyone has a right to judge a parents' comfort level with leaving their kids at any point in their lives, either.[/quote]
