[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what kind of weddings you all are going to but I spent my late 20s schlepping to mostly really fun evening weddings all over the place for college/grad school friends - of the probably 20+ weddings we have been to not one has been in my own town so it is just normal for us to have to travel. I look back fondly on those days of carefree drinking and dancing! I love my toddler but the idea of bringing him to one of these events sounds miserable, and thetravel to get him there, ugh no thanks. Even at a family wedding, I’m sure I’d be forced into bringing him if he were invited and all the relatives would claim they’d watch him but I know it’s end up being me, so ugh no thanks.

Plus, it is usually the parents who claim that someone will watch their toddler, but no one ever does, and the toddler ends up running roughshod, and no one truly enjoys that - but the parents are not going to tell you as much. Also, the parents claim it is some sort of "family reunion" (even if they don't call it that). In reality, if the parents want a reunion so much, they should plan it themselves.  It is the bride and groom's day, not anyone else's.  Period.[/quote]
