[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other people’s childfree weddings are really expensive. [/quote]

Are you just talking about babysitting costs? Most expensive wedding I went to was a family wedding were children were welcome. One of the moms, the SIL to the groom, broke down in tears after she somehow became the de facto babysitter for all the kids there. [/quote]

Unless the wedding is in your hometown it’s much more than babysitting costs.

People really don’t look after moms at most gatherings. If you see someone with a little kid notice if they themselves are eating. Usually not. And no one catches on. [/quote]

Right, but people who have child-friendly weddings also have them out of town. I'm the PP and the one I went to was in Cape Cod during peak season. Another child-friendly wedding I went to was in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Both were quite expensvie. I was just challenging the assertion that child-free weddings are somehow uniquely more expensive than the child-welcome ones.

And yes, as a mother of young children, I understand the isolation of being at large gatherings with them. Which is why I prefer to not bring them along to weddings. [/quote]
