[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's just a sign of the selfishness and "me" culture of today. Weddings are supposed to be celebrations of union that you host for your family and friends, not a fete spotlighting the bridezilla. Sometime in the past 10 years or so, Americans have lost sight of that and now it's all "me, me, me!" at weddings -- god forbid a family member is not old enough to be "up to snuff," they will be disinvited.

It's really sad, but whatever. I am lucky that I don't have any friends who are horrible narcissists. I just skip weddings of relatives who have done this. Clearly my family's presence doesn't matter to them, as long as enough people show up that they can be the center of attention, I can't imagine they even care.[/quote]

On the contrary, it's a symptom of the "me, me, me" culture of today that people cannot go anywhere without their children.  I have a child and I recognize that some events are for adults and some are for children.  If a friend or relative throws a wedding and is nice enough to invite my husband and me, we are thrilled to go, rsvp "yes, with pleasure," and arrange care for our child.  It is not my friend's or relative's responsibility to worry about my child.  I bring my child to child-appropriate events and I teach her that some events are not for children.  [/quote]
