2. There are many times a parent WANTS to be child free for a night. That’s totally fine!!! Go party! But when *you are the host*, yes you have a duty to make your event not exclusive on grounds of race, disability, or family status, to the extent feasible.

I see many conservatives going wishy washy on the essential culture war question of kids at weddings. We must hold this front, comrades. Kids at weddings forever!

But really it’s amazing to me how acceptable, “I just dislike this whole class of human in terms of social activities with them” is when the class is kids. Whenever I hear, “I’m not a kid person” as an excuse, I hear, “I’m just not a black people person.” It isn’t okay!

***It is in fact actually a serious moral failure to categorically discriminate against and exercise discrimination against children, as for any class of people***

Now look, if it’s logistically unfeasible for some reason, like your wedding traditions require everyone to juggle knives or something, whatever. But if your reason is just, “I just dislike the idea of it being a kid kind of party” then that’s not really fine.

I should note, “my family’s culture requires highly formalized wedding traditions that preclude children participating and if I deviate it will cause serious family unrest” is perhaps acceptable as an excuse but you should feel sad that those are your family’s expectations.

I get the need to weigh competing expectations in weddings. Everybody’s got opinions. I’m not saying people with a no kids rule are bad. I’m saying *wanting* the no kids rule is bad.

Some traditions really are just crap that needs to die

That this is true in no way precludes you having to deal with them.

Agree. I think what happens is people date and they make mistakes while in love and then they get married...then reality of differences set in and it may not be that both families are humble enough to allow the new family to grow inside the old families and things fall apart.

P. S. This has little to do with ethnicity and everything to do with humility, degrees of sophistication and abilities to perceive and value subtleties.
