[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]

Yes omg I have been wondering wtf is wrong with people on this thread...the idea of dragging my toddler to a wedding and having to watch him because god knows no one else really will even though I’m sure relatives would insist theyre watching, is terrible. We were at one wedding recently with a 3 year old and a 1 year old and even though they were well behaved, the parents had to sit with them the whole time or take turns talking to people. How is that in any way fun?? To be fair, most of the weddings we’ve been to were before we had kids, but they were a party atmosphere / college or grad school reunion and no place for kids. I look back fondly at my late 20s as a time of trudging thru random airports on Sunday mornings hungover.

We did invite kids out of obligation but at the time no one had small kids or weren’t going to travel as our family is geographically spread out so the youngest at ours were in big school which wouldn’t have been an issue to me anyway[/quote]
