FH's step-sister e-mailed me today asked if we were allowing kids at the wedding. She is due April 20th, our wedding is May 14th. I responded saying that we aren't allowing anyone to bring their children, only the one's that are in the wedding. She said that's fine I understand.
Well I get a call 15 minutes later from my FH's stepmother(her mom) saying that we aren't allowing any kids is bs. The baby will only be 3 weeks old and she doesn't want anyone to babysit him bc she is breastfeeding. She also said it is rude of us to expect people to book their evening with us, buy a gift, and find/pay a babysitter. Mine you, I never and do not expect people to bring a gift.
There are a lot of people who have children, that do not have a problem with finding a babysitter. Most want to, so they can enjoy their time. If I bend the "rule" for one person, I will need to for the rest. I was at a friends wedding 2 weeks ago, she had kids there of all ages. It was chatoic. Baby screaming during their vows, older kids running around the reception venue. My invites are getting sent out next week, they already say adult only reception. Is it wrong to still stick to having no kids?
