[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL got married last year and had a no kids wedding. She lives out of state. I had a 4 month old and an almost 2 year old at the time. My husband went and I stayed home with the kids. I was not resentful because I like my SIL and understand that her wedding is not about me and my children, it's about her and her new husband. In fact, I was sad to miss it but happy for her! And... my SIL understood why I could not make it, and sent me pics of her getting ready and looking beautiful in her dress! Shocking, right?

Am I the only one who actually enjoys attending these kinds of events without kids? It's not really enjoyable to me when I have to chase my toddlers all over the place instead of having a few drinks and dancing the night away. We have a no-kids wedding coming up this summer, the kids will stay with my parents and we will enjoy a long weekend away as a couple. [/quote]

Agreed. My SIL got married 2 years ago and my MIL demanded that my baby and toddler attend. It was a disaster. I had the babysitter waiting in the lobby at 8pm and my MIL refused to let my kids go. She just wanted to show them off. They were crying and so tired. I wasn't going to start screaming when it's also a big day for MIL (her daughter's wedding) but I was SO pissed. I will never take my children to another wedding.

Also, are we all talking about the same ages? My cousins were in high school and of course invited to my wedding! It's the under 10 year olds that I don't think should be present. I don't believe alcohol and children mix. [/quote]
