Nonstop insults, insinuating they are mentally ill or bad people, yikes. It really makes the parents pushing for their children to be included look entitled, petty and rude. [/quote]

Yep. Pretty much.[/quote]

100%. They keep lashing out at everyone in these made up scenarios and calling people bridezillas as if most of the people here haven't already been married years. This isn't some retro version of The Knot.[/quote]

+1. Its pretty obvious the ones married before 2010 are the ones still using the term “bridezilla.”[/quote]

Someone suggested “gaping narcissist” earlier and I’m good with that. It’s gender neutral too, so also covers grooms. [/quote]

The narcissists are the angry parents.[/quote]

Thinking your wedding is a special day all about you is inherently narcissistic. You might think that narcissism is justified, but it's a simple fact that having a party to celebrate yourself where you prioritize what you want is self centered. [/quote]

Oh, so you didn’t take RSVPs for your wedding, and you don’t take RSVPs for your kids’ birthday parties? Got it. Because those days are not special and your would-be guests owe you no response, no attention, and no communication. If you expect them to, you are a narcissist. Your kid is not special on his birthday, it would be narcissistic of him to think he is. Got it.[/quote]

We "took RSVPs" to let out of town guests know about the wedding, but anyone who wanted to come was free to do so. We had a few people show up without RSVPing.[/quote]

So you don’t do RSVPs for your children’s birthday parties? Yes or no. This is a yes or no question.[/quote]

What do you mean? We invite people. Sometimes they respond, sometimes they don't, but we don't insist on it.[/quote]

Hope nobody sings Happy Birthday to the child. Only narcissists do that. It's a party for the family and community. Not the time for your spawn to shine.[/quote]

+1 That's essentially these same people on the DCUM Expectant Postpartum forum:

[i]The birth of a baby is an important event shared traditionally with family and community. If you are not comfortable with family and community deciding your postpartum birth plan, you are a narcissist. Preventing family from being present during or the week after birth? That was tradition. Narcissist mother. I the MIL/Grandmother/ETC get a say because family and community and tradition. Narcissist generation. Narcissist mother. [/i]
