[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We've been invited to 2 child free weddings. Guess what? We're not going. I'm not flying my kids someone to sit in a hotel room with a babysitter. [/quote]

I wish you could see how insane this is.

You either can’t afford a babysitter and so you are missing out on life events or you have a psychological problem and can’t separate yourself from your children.[/quote]

Babysitters are a fortune.  That money is better off in the college fund.  Not missing out.  [/quote]

I’d rather have stuck to 2 rather than 3+ kids if it meant I couldn’t afford a babysitter to attend my friends’ and family weddings.[/quote]

If your friend claimed she couldn’t come to your wedding because she couldn’t afford a babysitter, it’s probably because she would *actually* prefer to hang out with her kids and watch a movie or play a board game than go to your wedding.  Sorry.[/quote]

This is a different level of insane.  It seems some people on this board don’t realize that they don’t have to do everything together with their kids 100% of the time. It’s a psychological issue if you can’t separate yourself from your children.[/quote]

No one said 100% of the time. People work and go to school and activities. Some families don't get tons of time together in the evenings so weekends are their time, and it's a normal consideration when invited to social events, such as weddings. Some people would rather spend that precious weekends doing stuff with their kids, rather than flying out to a wedding without their kids. Believe it or not, your wedding is not the highlight of other peoples' social calendar. [/quote]
