[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to your brother. He's a typical clueless newlywed, doesn't know about the breastfeeding, and probably doesn't care. There are many like him!

Kids make weddings so joyful and spontaneous, and I wanted all my baby relatives at my wedding! But I grudgingly accept that others might not share this love of multi-generational gatherings. It's his call, in the end.

Ok. Thanks for acknowledging that crying babies in the wedding aren't universal signs of joy.[/quote]

PP you replied to. I have never attended a wedding where a baby cried. And I have attended MANY weddings, ALL of which were kid-centric.

Blows your little mind, doesn't it?

Lucky you. Our wedding video is filled with my cousin’s crying baby because neither she or her DH woukd simply get up and take the baby out. [/quote]

Parents these days, as you can tell in threads like these, do not care at all about others around them. They are so blindly focused on themselves and their kids that they give no thought to the fact that others may want to hear the sermon, vows, or ceremony. It's new age narcissistic parenting.[/quote]

NP. “These days,” nothing. Come off it. This happened at my oldest cousin’s wedding in the early 1980s. Her sister/sister’s husband didn’t take out their rowdy toddler who *knocked over a floral display near the altar.* Just stop. Entitled, lazy parents have been around since the dawn of time, and always will be around. It’s not about age or generation, it’s about entitled, selfish people being a constant in humanity. [/quote]

Nope. I see it constantly around me. Parents won't take their kids out when it's appropriate. Their guilt around not spending much time with their kids during the week is not the marrying couple's problem when now they want to get their quality time at someone else's black tie evening party. [/quote]

Wow, at least they “feel guilt.” All the Boomer parents who sent their kids outside all day and literally had to have PSAs of celebrities chastising “It’s 10 p.m., do you know where your kids are” certainly felt no guilt. They were too busy drinking, smoking and beating kids with belts as “discipline” to ever feel something as inconvenient as guilt. [/quote]

So the pendulum has swung too far the other direction? That's not an improvement. [/quote]
