[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You RSVP for one. Why are none of you going without your spouse? One stays home with the kids. One goes if it matters to them - it's their family or their friend. Don't you ever do anything, go anywhere without your spouse? [/quote]

THIS, times 1,000!

What is with the joined-at-the-hip spouses here? I think some of the parents are just looking to be offended, rather than simply saying, this is a great chance for me to go solo to my friend's wedding, for you to go solo to your cousin's wedding, etc. Grown-ups, yes, even ones with kids, can do things and go places--even overnight!--without the spouse and kids in tow. Whole family invited? Great. No kids, but you got a sitter/made arrangements and you and spouse can go, sans kids? Great. Kids not invited and one of you has to stay home? Great. It's a wedding, a party. Go or don't go but don't whinge about how your family is an all-or-nothing package

But knowing DCUM, the spouse who stays home with kids will likely come along here to post about feeling left out, resenting "babysitting" their own children (gasp!), things aren't perfectly equitable and "fair," blah blah....[/quote]
