Sergeant Wilson Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 We need to introduce a testing regime. You should have to pass a test to be entitled to certain things ie travel, having kids, voting, going out in public. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this flight thing is a great idea tbh. As I've said I don't mind children it's the arsehole entitled parents that come out with pish like that. "It's not fair" don't have 3 fucking children then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who has no interest in having them, I think people who utterly despise children and basically want them expelled from every public area are total oddballs who are guilty of the same "every aspect of society should be tailored to meet the needs of me, the main character of the universe" brand of sociopathy as parents who think the world revolves around their children who can never do wrong. Weddings though? What's wrong with a couple not wanting children at their wedding? That is genuinely one day in life where it's fine for two people to say this event is about them and what they want, so if their preference is not to have children there then what's the issue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is genuinely one day in life where it's fine for two people to say this event is about them and what they want, so if their preference is not to have children there then what's the issue? Because weddings are a family event and kids are a huge part of the families of people who are attending. Children are highly likely the next step in the lives of the couple who are getting married as well. I’d quite gladly not bring my own children along to a wedding but I think it’s generally bad craic particularly if wedding is in a difficult place to get to. My cousin got married in middle of nowhere in 2010 and his wife insisted on no kids. His sister had an 18 month old and asked if they could make an exception to bring her along but no such luck so she and her husband had to take turns of watching over the baby and couldn’t get to enjoy the wedding at all. Needless to say the bride allowed a few exceptions from ladies on her side of the invite and the amount of bitterness it all created is incredible and still rages on to this day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Can anyone who has been to a non child wedding cast their minds back and think if there were any children present because of a bit of favouritism? If yes then was it on the brides side of the invite? I remember being at one in 2018 when my daughter was 3 months old and we were told it was child free but when we got there could barely move for all the children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a child free wedding and it was child free on both sides. I think it was more common back then (late 80s) and I never gave it a second thought. From memory, there were no complaints from guests. It was a while back but I think it was the two sets of parents who decided it and they were paying so... I was happy enough with whatever was being organised as long as I just had to show up on the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
