[quote=Anonymous][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]

Guess I have been lucky to not meet any wedding hosts like that (guess that means my family is not as crazy as most?!?!) And if I did have a relative/wedding host/B&G chastise me for not attending their wedding, well I'd question why I'm friends with someone who is so rude and obnoxious, and would end that relationship or at least cut back greatly.  
In fact, I'd probably not even send a gift if they were rude and angry because I was not attending the wedding.
