No one said anything about children being at weddings falling under this category, I don’t know where that came from. And yeah, its a WEDDING question, why would it go in a CBC topic? That just makes no sense
I am all for kids at the wedding, if that is what the COUPLE wants. I have a huge issue with people who think their kids belong everywhere they do, even at weddings. Not every place is for children, and parents need to realize that and not bash people for their choice to not have kids at their wedding

@ChemistryBride: I honestly think it is time to stop pointing fingers about one side “harassing” the other. A not of non-CBCers have posted here and were kind, but honest. And go through the thread and see where the defensive comments started. It wasn’t by a non-CBC person.

@MrsSl82be: you keep preaching that you want to make your lifestyle choices without out judgement, but then keep posting judgements on people that do have children and their parenting choices, isn’t that the same behavior you are complaining about?

@ieatunicorns: can we please stop this? we get attacked every single time we post a child free post, yet you don’t see CBCers going into an infertility thread or TTC thread and saying things like “maybe theirs a reason you’re infertile” or “maybe you’re trying to hard and stressing, why don’t you just relax and not think about it”. Why? Because we don’t even want to spend our time reading about it, much less trying to push our views on those women.

@MrsSl82be: Eh, now you are starting to lose me. If I were someone who believed that I had to take my kids with me everywhere and someone wanted me to attend their wedding without my children than they would also have to realise that I am just as free to make my own choices as they are, and therefore free to choose not to attend their wedding at all. Your having a hige issue with people who think their kids belong everywhere they do is about the same as people who have an issue with you not wanting kids to be wherever you are.
To say not every place is for children and parents need to realsie that makes you sound like you somehow think you have a monopoly on deciding what is and isn’t right in terms of where children should and shouldn’t be, and you don’t. Every parent gets to decide what to do for themselves, c’est la vie.

@MrsSl82be: You get “attacked” because you think you are getting “attacked”. I wouldn’t go to my TTC and talk about the CBC crowd. I actually support your cause, but it gets old when you keep playing the victim in threads and you aren’t. People had different opinions and you jump down their throats, and then say they attack you. And no I definately don’t push my ideas on to you.

Okay seriously guys, there are so many flags on this thread it’s crazy. This is clearly not productive so I’m going to close this. I think the community’s views have been expressed. You can vote on the idea here:
