Her and her baby would have been outside. Period. If you didn’t wanna leave your baby then you shouldn’t have come. Point blank. I would NEVER want to hear a crying baby as I’m saying my wedding vows.
Parents think that because they have children, and they put their children first-automatically means EVERYONE ELSE has to put them first as well. Like no ma’am, they put their wedding day before YOUR child, because their wedding day comes first. This isn’t about you and your baby. Not everyone loves and wants your child at a wedding. Get over yourself.
This is a little broad. I have many friends who are parents that don’t bring their children everywhere and some who prefer to get a sitter and have a fun night out. Some people (with or without children) just think they are special and rules don’t apply.
Totally agree. They really do think you should put them first, and I'm like...why? No one owes you anything, motherhood was your choice. It's not my responsibility to cater to you. what if someone went to her wedding and made a fuss because there were kids there? She wouldn't like it.
By bringing her child to this wedding she basically told the couple “sorry your events going to be however I need it to be to benefit my lifestyle” which I incredibly rude😞
We had an adult only wedding too. Thankfully no one did this but my mom acted like it was the worst thing in the world. She said everyone was going to think we were rude and not come. Everyone showed up and only a few complaints about people having to leave early to relieve a sitter (which is interesting considering they probably wouldn't have kept their child out past 1am so what's the difference?) I did not want to hear a kid during our vows and I did not want people partying with edibles and an open bar around kids. I didn't think it was appropriate for kids to be there at all.
People who push to bring their kids to an event like this will be expecting other people to watch their kids so they can party. Sorry breeders. Y'all wanted kids, this is what happens with kids. You have no time for yourself and can't afford a sitter. Sad when the child-free understand this but not the breeders.
The mother is definitely one of many ppl in our society who feels like rules don't apply to them. However, the non response was a mistake. Take the ten seconds to say "don't bring your baby to our wedding, if you do you'll be escorted out" to avoid any confusion.
Good point. I think you have to be willing to enforce the rule if you're going to put it out there. Otherwise it's just not fair to the people that didn't bring their kids.
Me and my husband did too. My Mom was invited who never pushed for me to have babies. My MIL wasn't invited though as she starts all the drama. We were married two weeks before his Mom found out. We wanted it to be our time but knew she wouldn't have it. Sure enough, she was telling me to my face our marriage would only last 6 months. 20 years later, still married. That's why both of us agreed to not invite her.
That is totally disrespectful she shouldn't have gone to the wedding if she couldn't find someone appropriate to look after her child she shouldn't think she's above the rules love you hannah interesting video
Omg I would make them leave. Full stop!! No kids is NO KIDS! If you can’t leave them with someone, stay home! Don’t care! Respect the wishes of the couple or stay home. I seriously would have had someone escort them out and make them leave. #cantfixstupid It’s similar to my preferences. I get invited to events but kids will be present. I don’t want to be around the kids. So I don’t go. Plain and simple. It is not that hard. Too many people think they are an exception and can get away with it. Time to put these people in their place. The entitlement out there is raging too strong and we need to deflate these egos.
A wedding is a very important event, and some people like to have it professionally recorded and they don't want people to hear a baby crying in the background while they're saying their vowels. It's a very reasonable request. The day is supposed to be about the bride and groom, not about your children.
I was dragged to a lot of formal functions when I was a kid of people I didn't even know and never saw again and I was always wondering why I was there.
I went to a wedding years ago it was in August and was a very hot day. The bride had provided babysitters at her mum's house everyone was happy except one of the groom's sisters. She insisted on bringing her two year old to the evening reception. He screamed and screamed, had a tantrum, threw himself on the floor. We all had to put up with him for about two hours until he fell asleep on the floor. If I had a child and could not get a sitter I would not go. We were all so relieved when they left!!
I read a similar article about entitled parents who decided to take their kids to a child free wedding and the kids were so destructive even throwing food on the bride's wedding dress before they were kicked out and sent the bill. I shared the article on one of the child free fb groups and had some parent comment on how "not wanting children at a wedding was "discrimination" against children" and that "child free people are just "selfish" and "awful people" etc. because sometimes we don't want to have other people's kids be the center of attention at an adult only event such as a wedding? Entitled much? Good grief. 🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️
@Susel right? I remember as a kid we didn't go to the wedding ceremony until we were older. It's like sitting at church meeting which to kids is super boring. They don't even bring out the cake until the reseption anyway lol.
It like when they request to TURN OFF your cellphones before entering the building and yet someone's phone starts ringing in the middle of a speech. Yes they *quickly* turn it off (5-10 seconds) and act like they saved the situation.
I don't know whether to file this under "You had ONE job" or "You didn't understand the assignment," but this is YET ANOTHER reason why I would rather elope.
The thing that pissed me off the most is that she thought she was being reasonable by taking the baby out when it cried during the ceremony. That's the EXACT reason children were excluded from the wedding. Whenever this couple plays their wedding video to look back on their special day they're going to hear their romantic moment ruined by her cousin's selfish act. Must be nice living in your own little world where you're the victim when people call you out on your bs.
Our wedding was immediate family and no kids but I think we had 2 babies that were there like a few months old. We didn't care they weren't causing a fuss or anything.
This situation happened to me about a month ago except it was in reversed positions. My husband and I went to a wedding that didn’t allow kids at the reception and we have a 9 month old. We respected their wishes of course and got a babysitter to be able to attend. However, the bride had a 4 year old son who was at the ceremony but threw a fit when he learned he wasn’t going to be at the reception. They ended up bringing him to the reception along with his friend who was the same age and that really made me angry because they didn’t even follow their own rules of “no kids” allowed…I feel like that was disrespectful to the guests who didn’t bring their own kids. And also a babysitter isn’t cheap these days lol
I'm sorry but having your own kid there and maybe one friend to keep him entertained, is completely different than more than 10 kids from different ages running around. More kids give the wedding a completely different vibe. Just respect the decision, as I read the situation it obviously was not to annoy the parents.
My grandfather said on his death bed that he didn't want any young children at his funeral service because he wanted it to be a peaceful service, so when my grandfather passed away I texted all of my cousins who have kids telling them that grandpa wanted a child free service and to not bring their kids with them. Well...1 of my cousins brought her kids anyway saying "sorry! I couldn't find a babysitter" then another one brought her infant with her and said "well I had to bring my baby with me because I'm nursing". I just thought how rude and disrespectful it was to go against my grandfather's last wishes, they didn't even care about what he wanted at his own service. It's so annoying when parents feel entitled to bring their kids anywhere they want even if someone tells them not to. My father told me if anyone shows up with their kids at his service when he passes some day to make sure to have them escorted out and I don't blame him.
A funeral is not an appropriate place for children. In my family, children under 12 don't attend funerals. It's a scary thing for the little ones. We tell them the person is gone but they don't need to see a coffin being buried
00:00 how would you respond to this? 00:26 laya sighting 01:14 how this mom solved the "no kids wedding" rule 02:09 can you imagine 03:13 parents are used to this, but childfree aren't 04:26 it wasn't ok 05:37 why is this even a question 06:17 trying to get around the rules
I would have had her removed. But the gall of parents get me. We're leaving to go out of town for a concert. Prior to the concert we're going to a restaurant where every must be 21 and older. It tells you on their website. It tells you before you enter the building. But if you look at the negative complaints on Trip Advisor..90% of them are from parents who tried to bring their kid in. Well we drove 90 minutes and made a promise to our kids and they didn't let them in. We brought our daughter and they would not let her even dine outside. They were rude to us and didn't even let us come in with our children and order food to go. I don't automatically assume my dog is allowed everywhere. If we are going somewhere and want to take him we check first.
I'm not going to be married but the only kid that is going to be there is my nephew, he is 2 but he barely cry or have tantrums, he acts as an older kid, then I'm going to see him running because sugar rush 😂😂.
It’s rude. She should have not brought the baby if the kids where not invited. People have adult only things all the time! If you can’t find a sitter you don’t go! Period! That is so disrespectful! Many times I am not invited to parent teacher conference because I do t have a kid! I can’t wander around schools either if I am not invited as a non parent! You don’t see me out there going to things for the kids! 😂
She had to know she was making it awkward for the couple by RSVP'ing about bringing her baby anyway. That obviously put them in a difficult situation where they either had to call her up and have an argument with her (and she would no doubt try to guilt trip them about it and act like they're the bad guys), or else just let her do it. That's pretty manipulative. She has, I'm sure, shamelessly disregarded requests and rules many times before and always has some sob story read to go when she's confronted.
Sadly, that's why we didn't make our wedding CF. I don't want his family to hate me and I didn't want to explain why. I have a feeling they think I'm an anti-social control freak.
Could it be that she thought "he means 5-year-old's that run around and require constant supervision. That would mean no swearing and no alcohol. But mine is an infant, he'll just sleep. I'll always watch him. So it's fine." I feel like the invitation should've said "No children, No toddlers, No infants".
You didn’t have to watch it… As a CF person planning a wedding, I like this kind of support! We’ll allow flower girls at the ceremony and then off they go! My sisters are cool with this thankfully.
