[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am actually laughing out loud at my desk to return to this thread this morning and learn that OP ELOPED!

([b]Also willing to bet no one thinks her kids are that cute at weddings, but that's another issue[/b]).[/quote]

Was coming to say this, too. I don’t care what people say out loud about OP’s kids (it has to be nice or else you’re an asshole), I’d bet the farm that many in their heads were thinking “get that kid out from underfoot” or “ok we’ve admired your kids enough, it’s adult time now” or something along those lines. [/quote]

And then posts like this show that there are aholes on both sides of this debate.

OP is full of herself, but if you see a kid at a wedding and get bent you are just as bad. They usually ARE cute and having fun and making family memories that will last forever. Some of my best childhood memories are the weddings I was able to attend (aunts and uncles).

People will plan a wedding, you will decide if you want to attend or not and try to show up and be happy and not be a sourpuss about ANYTHING, kids being there or kids being absent. I just can't with how mean everyone has to be about weddings, its really ridiculous. [/quote]

No one is getting bent about the kids being there; they just aren't nearly as cute as the parents think they are (which is almost always true in pretty much any context).  And when they are running around on the dance floor, it can be a bit dangerous for the kids.  [/quote]

Oh for god's sake. Show me the CDC list of children terribly injured at wedding dance parties please. You're being just as bad as OP. Family generally thinks the children they love are cute. If you don't, what do you gain by making sure the parents know you think their kids are ugly? That is not the spirit one should bring to any party, wedding or not.

PP, do you generally only ever speak in hyperbole?

There are many places where children shouldn’t or don’t need to be, even if they’re adorable.

I'm not the one who invoked the word 'dangerous' regarding kids attending weddings. Hyperbole thy name is the PP before me. [/quote]
