[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 459912, member: 6546"] Yes, the issue was my ASSUMPTION.... I assumed, and I was wrong. My bad. It just struck as really, really unusual that the family did not think about what the families would do with these children. Did they assume that the kids would all be left behind over the weekend with a babysitter? Some of these folks are coming from hundreds of miles away! And if they figured that the kids WOULD be traveling - what in the world did they think they would be doing while their parents spent the evening at the wedding? The part that REALLY ended up steaming me was the ASSUMPTION that I WOULD be bringing my kids (because why would I leave them behind in another state?) and since my kids would be there, but not attending the wedding, they could be the babysitters for all the other kids who would also be in town, but not attending the wedding. The family has made ZERO arrangements for all these non-invited kids who are going to be traveling with their parents.... And they didn't even ASK us whether our children were capable babysitters! They are clearly waiting for us to volunteer their services...thus all the hint-dropping... UGH! [/QUOTE]
