I just wanted to say that I love kids at weddings. LOVE. And shame on parents for being total shitheads and not wrangling the cretins during the ceremony, first dance, cake cutting, etc. When we went to Great Wolf Lodge I saw so many shithead parents - holy cow. I couldn't' believe it.

I think that's the party that was the deal breaker for me. Granted when we got married we didn't have a lot of kids that would have showed up but every single wedding I've been to that had a ton of kids, they weren't being monitored at all or their shenanigans took away from the couple who spent $$$$$$ to have them there.

I am sitting here having some decent contractions and taking walks in between posting. I have a feeling it's just cramping/contractions from being checked today and won't lead to anything, but I told work I'm off the grid.

@willy_gert hope everything goes well! Sorry you guys had to wait so long!

Would you guys consider a 2m old to be a "child" at a wedding? DH's childhood friend is getting married in Charlottesville, VA in March. We thought we'd make a long weekend out of it and take Sam. We did not even consider taking Jack& Will, since it was just DH & I invited. The ceremony & reception are all at the same resort, so I could step away back to our room to nurse or put Sam to bed. The groom told DH he had to check & then basically said we couldn't bring Sam bc they're not inviting many kids. I get it bc our wedding was pretty tight w/#s but I'm sure we would have made an exception for a 2m old baby who is nursing, who'd be sleeping in a car seat. Oh and he knew it was just Sam. So now I'm bummed DH might still go & bc my BIL (DH's twin) & SIL are going. Andplusalso, it sounds like a really cool wedding. ::Putting flame retardant suit on::

Yes. And no.

I mean, a 2 mo old is most definitely a child, but I think most people who "get it" make an exception for tiny babies because it's kind of impossible to travel and not bring them along. (Full disclosure: We had a "no kids" wedding--no kids under 12--but made an exception for infants. Because we're not clueless people.)

I do get the "firm rule" kind of logic, though, of saying "we aren't inviting any kids because once we invite one, suddenly everyone is there or pissed they weren't invited." My aunt got all "I thought this was no kids" huffy when my friend had her baby sitting on her lap at our wedding. Um, she lives three hours away and needs to nurse her kid. Your hellion grandchildren are happier at the sitters'. So I get not wanting to have that argument with people.

^^^^^What @Hyaline said. Always.

That's what I think the groom was leaning towards. If we let you, then others who don't "get it" that's he's a baby will be all, "why couldn't my child come???"

We are going to obviously respect the bride and her wishes, which is why we asked 2 months out instead of just assuming that bringing Sam wouldn't be a big deal. And this summer we used a resort recommended sitter for Jack & Will-totally could not have gone better. I'm just not sure about it for a 2m old. But something to think about.

Can you invite a sitter or something to stay at the resort? Ask around and see if anyone else plans to bring their kids and go in on a sitter together. If it is close enough then you can nurse, and go back to the party.

I would count a 2mo old as a child and think that babies can be more disruptive than toddlers. You can't always easily make a baby stop crying.

I agree with this. I don't usually think of a "no kids wedding" being about saving money per plate but more about wanting an adult only atmosphere. A baby will still cry at some point.

However, she said there will be kids at the wedding, just not a lot of them. So it's not a "no kids wedding."

Bottom line, bride/wedding couple is always right. She gets her day as she wants it just like you got yours as you wanted it.

Agreed. I said the same thing at the end of mine as well. I don't have to agree with it, but I will always 100% support the bride and groom's decisions.

What is the recipe link for that THT?

That looks like it'd be fun/easy to make for the Super Bowl. DH has vetoed my loaded nachos and asked for a 'sandwich type thing with other things I can pick at".

Holy cow, that was DELICIOUS. I am totally making this for the next pitch in I go to. One of the reviews says to make sure you make the 'circle' big enough so the insides cook. For more than 3 adults, you'd probably have to make 2.

I made mine meaty and used a pack of hard salami, pepperoni, and ham. Next time I'll add more banana peppers - I dried them all off with paper towel and put them in between the meat so the bread didn't get soggy. The provolone was perfect w/ it.

tinyhumantoe · January 2015

Oh, and for W I just did a section with provalone, pepperoni, and ham. She liked it.

@nita2603 how far along are you?

I quarantined DH last week when he thought he was getting sick. I told him if he got L sick he was on solo dad duty. ha!

@Flamingemu‌, sorry just got back here. 25w.

Nita2603 · January 2015

@tinyhumantoe‌, whatever that thing is it needs to get in my belly...apparently yesterday.

I just shoveled the damn porch twice because the dog won't go out to pee otherwise. I gonna bribe someone tomorrow to do my driveway or to start my snowblower for me (because that thing intimidates me).
There is no way I can shovel that shit.
Or want to.

Worst case is I just gonna be a shut in until DH gets home on Saturday.

tinyhumantoe · January 2015

@nita2603 If I made it, you know it's easy to make

We have a ton of yellow and brown snow on our patio. :barf: and I'm team lock in until your H gets home!

Nita2603 · January 2015

Tht, I like the way you think. :-) I just shoveled the damn porch again (because I spend so much time here looking out. I can't take looking at crap all winter. Plus, BBQ).

Then I shoveled a teeny tiny path for the mail man.
Now I am kinda feeling dead.

Colby came to work with me until he was probably 7 months old. I only worked part time for MiL at the time and he wasnt mobile at the time. He was easily entertained by a bag full of toys and napped in his car seat that I rocked with my foot. Scale of 1-10 how productive I was I would say 7-8 and you guys know how challenging of a baby Colby was.
