That is exactly what they are doing, DH is going solo. So it is not much of a problem other then the fact that OP wants to go but doesn't want to get a babysitter for the kids at the destination. It does not sound like it is a cost thing but an inconvenience thing. They would all make the trek for the wedding if they kids could attend, but they can't. [/quote]

Okay.  I don't see why there's any drama, then.  If OP's DH RSVPed for just himself, and OP is not getting any grief from her MIL or SIL for not going, then the whole thing should be no big deal.  I assumed that the SIL or MIL was having some sort of tantrum.

Child-free weddings are NBD for me, since I just decline them if they aren't going to work for my family.  [/quote]

"I wish people would get over themselves and invite kids to their weddings. The past 2 weddings we’ve been invited to are kid-free, both family - DH’s cousin and sister. We have to travel for both of them. We decided to just send DH to his cousin’s, and we will suck it up for his sister’s and have my parents watch our 9, 6 & 3 year old. I know “it’s their wedding they can do whatever they want” but I don’t get it - no ring bearer or flower girls, no cute kids on the dance floor. Weddings are supposed to be about family coming together. Okay. Rant over. "

The OPs post.

She is the one ranting about no kids at weddings. They have found work arounds, send DH to the cousins wedding and have family members watch the kids for the other wedding. Then she goes on to complain about how cute kids are at weddings and weddings being about family. Later posts show that OP complained to DH and DH said to let it go and that he was not going to ask his brother (she mentions that the SIL is the issue) about the kids. Then, 15 pages later, the OP says that she eloped because she doesn't like being the center of attention.

So it is not a funding issue, the entire family is going to the wedding location.

It is not a baby sitting concern, her parents (not attending the wedding) will watch their Grand kids. Grand kids get special time with Grandma and Grandpa, the horror.

It is that the OP is annoyed that her kids don't get to go to the wedding.

After the OP eloped and deprived everyone in her family, including any kids, the opportunity to celebrate as a family.

You have to admit, it takes a certain amount of balls and a complete lack of self awareness to take this position. [/quote]
