[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I don't get is...you guys want to bring your kids to a wedding? I'd rather have a night to just enjoy myself with DH while my kid is happy at home (or even in a hotel room) with a sitter. I don't want to be wrangling my kid the whole time. [/quote] +1 Neither do the parents - they just want their snowflake to run around, cause chaos and do WTH they want, bride and groom be damned. It's the snowflakes day after all, don't you know?! [/quote] Dammit it's just so hard to find a sitter. What a hassle. I have to pick up my phone and text someone to ask if they are available. It's like the bride and groom don't value me at all. The real kicker is when I can't bring the dog. What will Muffin do for the 6 hours I'm away? If I see the bride's dog there I'm going to stomp out in a fury and take my toaster with me.[/quote] It is a hassle to find a sitter to come up a hotel in a town you have never been to before. [/quote] If you are unable to figure out a way to go to a wedding without bringing your kids, who are not invited, you can’t go. If the the bride is your bff and really really wants you there and you’ve explained this to her but she still doesn’t want your kids there it sounds like she’d prefer to have the whole family decline than invite the kids. So decline. [/quote] Or I can get a sitter and expect a parenting message board to recognize that it’s kind of a hassle. [/quote] I'm a parent and don't consider it to be a huge hassle to sometimes need a sitter. You're barking up the wrong tree. Lots of things are a hassle when you have kids. Are you a new parent?[/quote] No. My oldest child is 12. I just had to get a sitter yesterday when I was called into work because someone had Covid. I needed someone from 3:30pm-2am. So probably wedding hours. I had to go a dozen people into my list before I found someone who could do it. I’m surprised that you have never had an issue with childcare. [/quote] If only weddings gave you months of notice of the date and time, unlike COVID. Oh, wait. They do![/quote] Ehh…I was responding to someone who said that she has never had to make more than one phone call to find childcare ever and asked if I was a new mom. [/quote] Can you quote where that was said? Because I'm not seeing that. [/quote]
