[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ You know what? I just read that your girls are 3, 6, and 10. I have a 9 yo and he and I would be pretty hurt if this happened. Two of your kids are old enough to understand wedding = cake and be sad (the 10 yo actually hurt) if they are not present. So I'd have you or your DH present it to BIL one more time in those terms: "Hey BIL, we have a really awkward situation here and I don't want to bother you, but I'm just gonna come out with it. Our oldest two girls, and the oldest in particular, understands what weddings are and knowing her, she is going to be really hurt if she is not allowed to come to the reception at all. Is is possible to have them sit through dinner, or just come for cake? I hope you would consider this. We can pay for them or for a sitter to accompany them. If not, we respect your wishes, but I might have to go spend the evening with them to soften the blow. Again, sorry to bother you with something that must seem small but it's not that small to the kids or us. Let me know."[/quote]

It is fine for your kids to be disappointed. The problem with many UMC kids is that they are not disappointed enough. DH has already asked once. Don't make this a big thing.[/quote]
