[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just RSVP no. I don’t understand the big deal. They get to make the rules for their event, you get to decide whether to go and follow them or stay home.

The last wedding we were invited to was DH’s out of state cousin and it was no kids for $$$ reasons. It was fine! We stayed home and sent a gift. No hard feelings on either side.[/quote]

An out of state cousin is different from a sibling.  You don’t think it would be a big deal if you didn’t go to your husbands sisters wedding because she didn’t invite your kids?  
It would be a big deal in my family.  [/quote]

Depends if my sibling is in town where we have support or requires travel where there is no vetted babysitter to watch our special needs kid. If it was the latter, I’d go without souse and child. Again, I don’t see the big deal. My sister is across the country. If she has a no kids wedding, I’ll go and leave DH at home with DS. [/quote]

And no one would say anything ever about how your DH wasn’t going to your sister’s wedding?  [/quote]

NP and so what if someone says something? Will you turn to dust? Burst into flames?[/quote]

No.  But it would be a lot of drama, and my mom would definitely feel caught in the middle.

I just don’t believe that people can decline the invite to a sibling’s wedding, and it’s just no big deal.  It would probably be less of a big deal to just bring the uninvited kids.  I am pretty sure no one would burst into flames then either.  [/quote]

If it's your sibling's wedding, you do pretty much have to go unless you are medically unable to do so, or it's an insurmountable expense. But again YOU have to go, your spouse and/or children do not. And if anyone complains, you can say, "Are you offering to pay for their tickets and a babysitter?"

Part of life is feeling caught in the middle. And? So? You deal with it. You do your best, move on, and let them grumble.[/quote]
