[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If weddings were one-evening affairs you’d have a lot less heartburn over kids. Plenty of people are willing to leave their kids for an evening but not a weekend.

My aunt shamed us HARD about my cousins wedding (called my mother who was undergoing chemo, called my in laws to ask if they would watch my kid…) we ultimately hired a nanny to travel with us and entertain our kid and her cousins but there was certainly no gracious acceptance of a declined invitation in my case. I think bad behavior is equally distributed across brides/grooms and their guests. [/quote]

Well the issue then is with your entitled aunt and cousin!  That is rude.  I purposely wouldn't attend if a relative did that. They are free to say "no kids" and I am also free to say, "thanks for the invite, hope it's a beautiful day. So sorry we won't be able to attend". 
End of discussion, no reason to discus the WHY.  It is not their business

And yes, I'd avoid that reltavie/family in the future

Yes I agree. But my point is that wedding hosts have plenty of anger around this issue, not just wedding guests.

And, I believe, unrealistic expectations.[/quote]
