FH was just hanging out with a cousin of his and he told fh that the other cousins have really been b!tchin about the 'no kids' policy we're trying to go by. We had spread the word from the very beginning and addressed the invites to only the adults.
One of his cousins has been complaining that he wants to bring his 3 kids (1-7 yrs in age) even though he didn't bring them to a wedding we had last weekend that didn't mention a thing about not bringing kids.
But here's the better one. The cousin he was speaking with told him that his sister said she was responding '3' because she wants to bring the terror of a 9 yr old she has but won't be bringing her younger boy. He said she's doing it to be a wiseass and to see if she can get away with it. Is that necessary?? She can very well leave BOTH boys with her in-laws, why bother trying to argue with us?

Re: no need for drama...
Maybe it's weddings on 6/14/08 that are causing people to act this way, because I'm having the same problems. I've had a number of relatives call a close aunt of mine complaining about our 'no kids' policy and asking her if she thinks they should call me. My aunt tells them this is a Saturday night wedding for one, and there are way too many kids in our family to allow kids there. Yet they still insist! Forget threatening to respond with 3 people, I just received an rsvp that said 2 + 1... 2 for the couple that were invied and the 1 for their son!?!? Did you not see who the invite was addressed to?? I've come to realize that people just don't care

Also with 50 kids at a wedding that becomes a zoo im sorry. Ive been to events with that many kids and its too much. Parents do NOT take care of their kids at these events. SO many parents in the past have pissed me off and are so inconsiderate. I remember one ceremony where the kid was just crying non-stop, you seriously could not even pay attention to anything going on bc you had this kid just screaming so loud, and the parents wouldn't take him out. It was so rude and distracting. Another time at a reception there were alot of kids, again didnt hear speeches or anything bc one little girl stood right next to the people talking and was just histerically screaming and had a circle of kids right next to her running around playing in the middle of the dance floor. Not one parent got up to get their kids. When ppl tried to dance at first, it was hard and they had to all go on one side bc this big group of kids were laying on the floor, running all around and kept bumping into people
That is exactly why both FH and I and our parents have been so frim on the no kids policy. Like you said Denise, parents DO NOT watch their kids (at least a good portion of them). They figure they're in the room so what will happen.. and then the kids yell, scream and do laps around the room. Sorry but at a chritening or whatever you'll have to deal with that, but not at a wedding.
