I think that the best thing that kids bring to the table is livening up the dance floor. No one busts it down like kiddos. Anyone who disagrees with this should either a) take their sophisticated coordinated ballroom dancing to a charity ball or b) go to the club if they feel ashamed about getting drunk and dirty…

I say this as a child free married lady who decided to forego any sort of formal wedding shit as my dad gave me the option of "wedding money" or getting all new windows in my condo. I enjoy those windows every day.

You don't get to dictate what another person's wedding should be. Your attitude is really kindercult-ish. Not everyone wants children in their lives. But somehow they're still able to get married. I know, it's crazy!

I had kids at my wedding and it was great. It was a tented wedding on a big property, and we made sure that there were activities, toys, food, etc., for them. I wanted to get a bouncy house until it was pointed out that vomit could follow. We also provided plenty of non-sugar, non-caffeinated beverages for…

I like kids, but it depends on the kids. My best friends twin girls (12) are the best and I like hanging out with them. I have another friend who has a 4 year old who is the cutest little guy ever and he's super well behaved. On the other hand, I have a cousin who is a year or two younger than the twins and I can't…

I had 12 kids at my wedding and their dance moves were by far the boldest and most inventive on the floor, and one of my favorite photos from the day is my husband dancing with my cousin's baby while simultaneously holding a beer. I don't know who all these people are who hate kids.

Maybe poll kids to see how many actually want to go to ridiculous waste of money/time/effort weddings for a better read.

HUMANS RUINED MY PRETTY, PRETTY PARTY.

I'm getting married in August. I never thought about not having kids because my boyfriend has a 5 year old and my nephew will be in the wedding-but the shitty thing is, there are specifically people whose kids I DON'T want there-and there is just no way to designate. There are specific rat children in my and his…

So I was once a child excluded from the rehearsal dinner. My younger brother was the ringbearer for my dad's brother's wedding. Since it was my dad's brother and my brother was in the wedding. My dad, my mom, and my brother were invited to the rehearsal dinner. I was not. My own grandmother was paying for the…

Fuck people who don't want kids at weddings. You stuck up, backwards prioritied nitwits. Kids make things fun.

I have no intention of ever having a large wedding (I'd probably do a courthouse wedding and spend whatever cash I would have spent on the honeymoon) but if I did, I'd totally invite kids. Heck, if I had the funds I'd rent a flipping bounce house and ball pit for the reception.

I'm clearly not an adult.

I had an outdoor wedding in a provincial park. There was a playground nearby. Kids were invited, and if they couldn't sit still, they were sent to the park. Worked perfectly, and one of my nephews told me I had the best wedding ever and asked if I could do it again.

A pre-emptive request: I know how tempting it is, but please, please, please don't feed the trolls. Ignore troll comments that aren't direct replies to you. Dismiss the ones that are. You're not just making Jezebel a much more pleasant place for everyone who isn't an asshole troll, you're infuriating the trolls…

A) I'm so sorry you had to go through that, though very glad you were in the position you were—your situation is already so awful that having money/legal complications on top of it is hard for me to comprehend.

I terminated a very wanted pregnancy at 26 weeks gestation in June. My daughter had a genetic duplication and abnormalities that would have ensured that her life was brief and painful, had she even survived the rest of pregnancy and birth. If I was not extremely privileged to have excellent health insurance and enough…

"Ban abortions (except for my mistress and my daughter)!"

There no people who care about babies less than these people.

Super cute until 3 days later, when mom removes the batteries in order to preserve her sanity.

There is literally nothing on earth cuter than kittens. NOTHING.
