[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boys are 5-17 and they may be uncomfortable at a gay wedding even if the parents have never said anything negative about being gay. We live in an internationally diverse area and I've been pretty shocked at how how many families openly tell their kids that being gay is unacceptable. Even though we live in a highly educated, liberal area my kids are unique in thinking same sex couples are normal while their friends openly make comments about how it is unacceptable.

If this hasn't been a regular topic of discussion then the kids may have formed other opinions. If this is the case, its not appropriate to make them be in the wedding. [/quote]

And I don't blame the mom for being shocked if she never had an inclanation her nanny was gay. Anyways, if she doesn't want her kids in the wedding, that's her right and the nanny shouldn't feel offended.[/quote]

You're not allowed to say whether someone should or shouldn't feel offended. We're all entitled to our feelings, even when they aren't rational (although in this case, the nanny's offense would be completely rational).[/quote]

You would be offended if your boss didn't want her kids in your wedding? A little oversensitive here aren't we? Yes, it would be offensive if the boss objected to the marriage, but she can choose or not to choose to have her kids in a wedding if she feels  :roll: [/quote]

You are just...

I didn't say I would be offended, I said in THIS case THIS nanny's offense would be justified because the MB would be refusing to allow her boys to participate in the wedding either because 1) it is a "gay" wedding (whatever she means by that) or 2) she felt entitled to know about her nanny's sexual preferences earlier than she did and is pissy about it. Either reason for declining an invitation to a wedding is offensive, but especially so when one of the brides IS YOUR CHILDREN'S NANNY who clearly loves them. I would not describe her nanny as oversensitive for being offended by this MB's reaction.

I do have some choice words I'd use to describe you, though...[/quote]

Oh stfu with your 'choice words.' I am a supporter of gay marriage and have gay friends/ family members, but still don't think it's a big deal if the mom doesn't want her kids to be in the wedding. If she is free and attends as just a guest, totally fine. I would say the same thing if a straight nanny wanted the kids in the wedding and parents didn't.[/quote]
