[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will never understand why people who hire babysitters so they can go on date nights and out their kids on day care all week get bent out of shape because they can't take their kids along to a wedding for a few hours. Hire a friggin baby sitter. It's not a big deal.[/quote]

I don’t like using a babysitter I don’t know, for my kids in an unfamiliar place to them - in a hotel. [/quote]

+ 1000 I am not a helicopter mom but [b]some people seem to think of kids as dogs: just get someone to watch over them! [/b]Hum, no? My 4 year old daughter is going to throw a massive crying tantrum if she is left alone in an unfamiliar place with someone she has never seen and that I will take max an hour to introduce (best case scenario). And I fully understand her, it is scary and should be scary to her.

I was invited once to a wedding that said no kids, we didn't realize until we landed, Thats when the hosts pointed out to us that we misunderstood. My DH went and I stayed at the hotel with the kids and had the babysitter only for after the children fell asleep (they met her before falling asleep though). I arrived at the wedding for the dance party. And the hosts (the parents) dared to make a comment, with a fake / feign concerned "oh FINALLY you could make it" as if I was a super late guest who couldn't ditch her snowflakes..

Had I known we wouldn't have gone at all[/quote]

Okay, your story is weird (not sure why you were pissed at the hosts, given that you were the ones who misread the invitation), but I agree with your first point.  I'm not leaving my kid with a strange babysitter in a strange place.  It might be one thing if the hosts organized something for the kids, so there were multiple kids and maybe a couple of sitters, but I'm not leaving my kid alone in a hotel room with a stranger.

Okay, then as has been said many times on this thread, you check “regrets” on the RSVP. it’s not personal. You don’t go. Or you le#ve your spouse at home and go yourself.

A bride and groom AR no more interested in your babysitting issues than you are in helping them select their centrepieces. [/quote]
