[quote=Anonymous]It’s crazy to me that you are making your brother’s day about you and implying your parents should put your wishes and desires above yours on HIS special day (that you said you’re upset your parents seem to support his decision to have a child free event). Of course they would support him in this type of decision given it’s his and his wife’s special day- my siblings and I have different views and I would very much expect my parents to support them in this type of decision.  I have three very young kids and I would not want to take them to this type of event most likely (I like others would leave them home with my husband or a friend for as long as possible for the local event and would skip the destination wedding).  I enjoy weddings with kids- but it definitely changes the dynamic more than a pretty guest.  The conversations all trend towards kids and comments about their cuteness rather than other things. I respect that some people prefer child free weddings.  Also, I say this as nicely as possible, but given how you’re reacting to your brother making this decision, perhaps he’s worried if your kids are at the events there will be other things that upset you relating to the kids (people were too loud for the kids, there wasn’t appropriate food or seating for the toddler, there wasn’t somewhere private for you to nurse, etc.) and he just doesn’t want to have to deal with these types of complaints at the event.
