[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why your kid needs to be punished for *your* age when they get married.[/quote]

It's only punishment if you view having your wedding paid for as an entitlement. OP - if you can't afford to pay for a wedding in your retirement, then you don't have to. It would be foolish to spend the funds on a wedding.[/quote]

I agree with you that paying for a wedding is a nice to have. However, go re-read the OP. She hates her child and is obvious about it. [/quote]

The OP "hates" her child?? What? That's what you from the original post, PP? What an odd conclusion to draw.

In terms of parents paying for weddings, I think it's great if it's something the parents can afford and want to do but certainly not a requirement.  Plus I don't think financial responsibilities should be gender specific.

My mother contributed a small amount but my DH and I paid for most of our own wedding (which was modest in size and expense). A wedding is just one day and in my mind not that important in the grand scheme of things. I've been to lavish weddings where the couple ended up divorcing and a courthouse wedding where the couple is still married many years later. [/quote]
