[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I just love the lack of self-awareness when people who insisted upon having a child-free wedding themselves then kvetch about such absurdity once they have children of their own. [/b] FTR, we hade upwards of 20 kids at our wedding. Why? Because weddings should be a celebration with family and friends, and we realized most parents can’t participate if they are forced to find alternative plans for their kids. I’m 50 now, and I detest black tie weddings or any event where the alleged hosts attempt to dictate attire; and I detest child free weddings (where everyone spends months hearing about how unreasonable the hosts are for not letting cousin Amanda bring the baby she is nursing or whatever). To the pp in the wedding along with her husband and kids who are flower girls yet not invited to the party - I can’t believe you agreed to this. I would have said our family is happy to celebrate with you and shoulder the significant financial aspects of travel, special outfits, etc. but I hope you understand that all of us need to attend as we can’t easily find care for the kids.” A normal host would have invited the other grandparents to attend so they could help with the kids and duck out early to put them to bed.[/quote] It’s just their profound narcissist at work.
